African Cup of Nations 2022
 

Starts today.

Features lots of Premier League players including Salah, Mane, Mahrez, Benrahma, Aubameyang, Iheanacho etc.

Predicting Egypt will go very far.

it just causes a lot of headaches for FPL and the prem/spfl

I would not be surprised if one or both of Salah/Mane gets injured tbh.

Hopefully not.

Today's matches:

4PM Cameroon v Burkina Faso
7PM Ethiopia v Cap Verde

Loving the chaos of this first game, two penalties already and some awful challenges

1-0

Never enough goals

that is a bit grim. I thought about watching it a couple of times but that has put me right off

The game after I posted that was 0-0 lol

Two 1-0 games more today.

And now three more :skull:

11 games in a row with one goal or less

that's the equivalent of watching greece play in every game at one euro ...... and i hated that :laugh:

Tunisia's football federation (FTF) has written to the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to complain about their game with Mali ending 13 seconds early.

The Tunisians were trailing 1-0 when Zambian referee Janny Sikazwe, said to have suffered sunstroke, blew early.

He had already whistled for full-time after 85 minutes, only to notice his error and continue the match.

"We will do whatever it takes to defend the rights of the national team," FTF official Hussein Jenaieh said later.

"We are not children."

:joker:

Seeming like a Cameroon v Nigeria final, I possible.

Morocco also a contender.

Bikini fasten go marching onto the last 8

So far there has been at least 1 red card on the first half of matches (4) in the knockouts.

Burkina Faso v Gabon (Gabon red)
Nigeria v Tunisia (Nigeria red)
Guinea v Gambia (both had red)
Cameroon v Comoros (Comoros red)

Burkina Faso v Gabon had total 14 yellow cards given (Burkina Faso 6, Gabon 7)

Sadio Mane scored as Senegal beat nine-man Cape Verde 2-0 in the last 16 at the Africa Cup of Nations, but was immediately forced off with concussion.

Mane curled in off the underside of the crossbar soon after keeper Vozinha had been dismissed over a nasty clash of heads with the Liverpool forward.

Mane continued despite appearing to be briefly knocked out in the incident.

After celebrating his goal he lay down on halfway, and before the game restarted he was led off the field.
