Your boys will surely be odds favourites now?
To be fair Koulibaly took the first one and looked the coolest of the lot of them.I really find it odd that an attacker who's job it is to score goals can shirk a penalty shootout and let a centre back take one
Don't forget the World Cup Semi Finalists are still in the mix
One game at a time.
The best team remaining in the tournament, one of the best teams in the world.Don't forget the World Cup Semi Finalists are still in the mix
Pure AFCON:
Yes, you can have a good penalty taker as a centre back but they finished the game with 4 strikers and they start the shoot out with 2 CBs and a CM?!?!To be fair Koulibaly took the first one and looked the coolest of the lot of them.
I thought I read Aurier was supposed to be Player Manager?Maybe they made the right call!
Ah yes but one of them was Jackson.Yes, you can have a good penalty taker as a centre back but they finished the game with 4 strikers and they start the shoot out with 2 CBs and a CM?!?!
I don't think anyone is making that assumption. Either way it was a poor decision and one that cost themWhy would one think that the order of penalty takers in a shootout is decided by players?
I think if it had been anywhere but Cote d'ivoire they'd have won it.I thought Senegal were the favourites to win the whole thing, especially after the group stage. Just shows fast starts in tournaments doesn't mean you win them.
A Tapsoba own goal put Mali ahead after 3 minutes, Biss on the bench.
He has been unwell and only played one 90 min game, so guessing it's to do with his fitness.Strange. Has he been poor in the tournament?
Being completely ignorant, i'd have assumed he was their best player.
Forgot about his illness. Makes sense.He has been unwell and only played one 90 min game, so guessing it's to do with his fitness.
His replacement plays for Salernitana who are rock-bottom in the Serie A.
