Come on Comoros!
They will apparently be playing with no specialized goal keeper. The main one is injured and the other two have Covid19.

Afcon not easy to predict. Very competitive.

 
Halliwell 2022-01-23 21:08:03 

In reply to nitro

Agree totally
Like a football tournament with participants equivalent to WI and Pak cricket wink

 
nitro 2022-01-23 21:25:30 

In reply to Halliwell

Yeah, you never know which team will turnup.

I remember cheering for Nigeria at USA '94. They looked great and then bam to rass they made a lil European team knock them out. Senegal in 2002 looked great as well.

 
BeatDball 2022-01-23 22:45:41 

Where the flick is Rwanda? Oh, yeah...busy, setting a precedence of law & order; improving literacy; having clean, green & orderly streets of Kigali & the rest of the country! big grin cool

You do realize that as a DICTATOR Kagame's economic and social policies are more akin to SOCIALISM than anything else? So, it is obviously the Autocracy you admire and is confused in thinking you support Capitalism. Bet you support he who Poohs- in-Tin?

 
BeatDball 2022-01-24 08:43:30 

In reply to Brerzerk Rwanda & Singapore's system of governance is the template for the third world - there has to be public order/physical security, economic security, accountability, etc...third world socishitism has been a disaster (so says the Dragon) & America's system cannot be replicated. Gwallang!

Tryangle 2022-01-24 13:25:55 

Did I walk into a football thread or a politics one?...

Brerzerk 2022-01-24 18:51:50 

In reply to Tryangle

lol maybe both. Our friend BDB cuss socialism everyday but praises
Lee's authoritarian Socialist Singapore/present day democratic socialist Singapore and
Kagame's Dictatorship Socialist Rwanda. Sadly he cannot contribute jot to the
football discussion.

In reply to nitrothe most disapointing african team ever was cote d'ivoire ,who did not live up to expectations in the the 2014 and 2018 world cup despite having some well known euro based players like didier drogba and the toure brothers

 
mikesiva 2022-01-24 20:55:41 

In reply to nitro

Cameroon edge Comoros 2-1.

 
nitro 2022-01-24 21:24:50 

In reply to mikesiva

Comoros should be proud. Played with 10 men for 83 minutes and an outfield player in goal!

 
Tryangle 2022-01-24 21:59:24 

In reply to velo

CIV has a big match with Egypt coming up

But I do think with regard to WCs you have a point about them underachieving despite their talent. I think one tournament they were in "Group of Death", but still. 2014 they lost to Greece. They did win a match in each edition they qualified for, which is something.

 
nitro 2022-01-24 22:23:36 

The Zambian team that was destined light up the 94 World Cup was a great tragedy.
Many folks think that was the best African team ever.

 
BeatDball 2022-01-25 00:36:03 

In reply to Tryangle This one should be super!

BeatDball 2022-01-25 00:46:32

Unfortunately the only experience I have of someone from Gambia was the fella who played Matthew from Desmond's...

Well done Gambia on their run thus far in their first AFCON

 
BeatDball 2022-01-25 15:45:44

One of my niece's bought l a day in Gambia and is moving there. I'm wary of potential unrest in Senegal spilling into Gambia

Come on Senegal!. Salah is mi baller but Senegal's coach was one of my favorite players at the 2002 world cup. They were brilliant.

I was clairvoyant of this win! Btw, Senegal's Jollof Rice is the best! Of course, you know what the Nigerians would say...even, the Ghanaians might have something to say differently. cool
