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

Predicting Egypt will go very far.

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

Hopefully not.

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."

Seeming like a Cameroon v Nigeria final, I possible.

Morocco also a contender.

Im torn as Salah could win the Balon D'Or by winning but Senegal have never won

[parmnion]

Bikini fasten go marching onto the last 8

[Calderyon]

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)

[Calderyon]

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

[bitontheslide]

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.
