AFCON 2024

Such a shame that overhead kick was ruled out for Algeria's second goal. Fantastic finish. Would've been goal of the tournament probably.

two beatiful Lamine Camara goals. Senegalese Metz midfielder? seen this movie before.

Not a bad finish for his second..

Shame to see a half empty stadium.

A really fun game between Tunisia and Namibia. The Namibian keeper has been a wall, and Namibia scored a late, late goal to set up what would be a shock result.

p.s. @BorjeSpurs Thanks for starting the thread. FYI...this is technically the 2023 AFCON though

Hoping Mali loose tonight, want Bissouma back early lol

Namibia wins! Their first ever win in AFCON.

What was the penalty kick for? handball? (Egypt v Mozambique)

because Salah was on the pitch?

Commentator on SuperSport re: Bissouma:

He's your modern 6, or 8 if you will.

So if he's in-between, does that make him a number 7?!

Just watching the Mali v South Africa game and it's pretty lively game. Bofana Bofana started really lively they've pressed really well and really fast moving but missed a penalty since when Mali have gradually taken more control.
Good Game!

Not watching, but Bissouma's stats look good.
Highest outfield player rating, 21/23 passes (91%), 1 key pass, 6/6 ground duels

He's the quality player out there but others have caught the eye more, mostly South African playets, probably because he's just steadily gone about his business.

Namibia (never won a game in afcon) beat 3rd highest in the comp tunisia

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Just turned the game on and Bissouma comes off while grimacing. Anyone see what happened?

 

[taidgh]

Biss off on 58 minutes!

Mali score just after

South Africa are focused on him, bring him off and give them something else to think about.

Mali just scored.

Nothing specific I saw. Commentators reckoned it was tactical. Maybe Biss was just unhappy that he was being subbed?

South Africa in trouble now. Lose this and they have to beat Tunisia to stay in the comp.

4 out of 6 third place teams go through to the knockouts. If they beat Namibia in the next game they still have a decent chance.
