sammynb 3508 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Anyone watching? Watched Mali v Ghana today & currently halfway through DRC v Niger. Surprised at how poor the football is. Defender & strikers are weak, midfield play is reasonable. Good to see Lomano Tresor is still playing, still unpredictable but seems to have lost his pace.

Ken 119 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It's shite football, Sammy. I've sat there at 2:00am trying to get into it and have woken up at 6:00am halfway through the next game. The flair is gone and the noise of those fucking horns in a 3/4 empty stadium makes for a borefest. They've got some issues, Africa, namely the frequency of this nuisanse tournament above all else like corruption for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsweeney 0 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've got a mate at work from Zaire. Promised him I'll watch tomorrow's match against Nigeria. Since NUFC aren't playing this weekend, I see no harm. But is it really that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsweeney 0 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Even worse, I now realise he's from Zambia ... and not Zaire. I'm a bad workmate ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken 119 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 You've got a reason to watch it which will ease the pain. Honestly, from what I've seen, the football is amateurish. Things hopefully will spark up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It seems all of the African teams have gone far too defensive these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already had most of a bottle of wine and a bloody mary ... I'd have been out like a light in the first five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3508 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 It seems all of the African teams have gone far too defensive these days. It's all the french coaches & they see how much Essien is earning. Tooj, I saw this the other day after talking to HMHM about Toffs and thought it might appeal. http://www.toffs.com/Ghana-1980s-Retro-Shirt/productinfo/3601/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhh_yeah 2991 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Cape Verde was able to win their first ever ACN match. Their coach is an air traffic controller when not with the national team. Seeing their passion below confirms why I fell in love with the beautiful game in the first place. http://youtu.be/jVW80TwcXVQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15722 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Second-best result of the day. After Zambia last year and now this, I'm thinking of only betting on the ACN in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
