The penalty can still be missed not all lost.

Boy do they fanny about, just take the frigging penalty.

Amazing scenes. Corrupt as fuck.

Opps, Diouf VARed. Penalty.

Diouf vs Aguerd

Go on Diouf, get some sillvwrware on your CV.

Final Senegal v Morocco kicks off at 19:00
I think I might watch. I guess Diouf will be playing.

Sounds like the second semi final was just as riveting as the first. 1 goal in 210 minutes of football across 2 ties. Can't wait for the final

If he comes back with form, Sullivan will be looking to cash in and ship him out before the window closes.

It would also bring more eyes to it during summer time when there's little else Football going on. Should be every 4 years in the Summer in-between the World Cup and Euros rotation. 

It was meant to be wasn't it? Until the stupid club world cup took it's place and forced it to move back to winter.

But its 55 in the shade during the summer, all those poor 'africans' from Croydon etc would be collapsing with the heat strike. Keep it in winter, once every 4 years 

our player going to be really confused when he gets back 

This fucking thing still going on?

What I saw of it, which was the last 25 minutes, didnt change my view that it is a low quality tournament and should never have been given the mandate to disrupt major national leagues every 2 years in the way it does 

Senegal & Diouf into the final 
Senegal 1 Egypt 0
Diouf obliterated Salah it seems

We need an Algeria win

I'm not sure it's that bad for us.
Scarles could become a star
KWP better in the last 2 games than I thought,could become better still. AWB not been that great this season.
Diuof been awful for Nuno

It's bittersweet because as much as I want our 2 boys back, I still want them to do well for themselves whilst out there. Such an awkward time of year to host it unlike the Euros/World Cup which is frustrating. Not their fault, I blame the Club for not preparing better for the inevitability of it all. The BS Effect.

Some of the games have been entertaining especially the last group games.
Tunisa v Tanzania was a bit like our game yesterday in the first half. With a lot of cynical tackles especially Tunisia. Both team were going for it right to the end knowing a loss for the other team would elimante them,good to see.However the final result of 1-1 meant both qualify,

just checked and seen the reason why,Tanzania now paly favourites Morocco.

I liked the Bukina Fasu team ,L.Traore with a meaty header and a deft assist from S Aziz,nice...get them in

Fancy agreeing to sell both Emerson and Coufal at the same time in the Summer and replacing 1 of them with yet another Relegation Roger type in Walker-Peters.


Hermansen 
Walker-Peters 
Summerville
Fernandes

All been badly burned with relegation in recent years. Thick as fuck management to rely on all these for leading us in to a likely Relegation battle.
 

Both Senegal and Congo into the knockouts - means neither AWB or Diouf back for the Wolves game , also looks like Senegal will win their knockout game on the 3rd so probably have neither of them for the Forest game.

Algeria may well beat Congo on 6 January, so AWB back for the cup game and Spurs if that happens.

Dunno why you waste your time on these pathetic trips.

Although the AFCON is marginally better than attending Eurovision.

You'll all be delighted to hear that I'm going to it again - although I'm only missing Tottenham away. Got a ticket for the 3rd Place but not the Final yet, so desperately need Morocco to get knocked out ASAP.

Won't be as good as the last one where we went to Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana on the way to see Ivory Coast win it at home, but it'll still be good

So the schedule in full
2025 AFCON
2027 AFCON
2028 AFCON
2029 African Nations League (Sept / Oct/ Nov)
2030 African Nations League
2031 African Nations League
2032 AFCON
