[AjaxDeSuperYids]

Early next week will be interesting:

Sengegal v Ivory Coast on Monday
Mali v Burkina Faso on Tuesday
South Korea v Saudi Arabia on Tuesday

 

[AjaxDeSuperYids]

Big game tonight, kick off 8pm!

 

[Jurgen the German]

Come on Cote D’Ivoire

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Come on Cote D’Ivoire

Senegal have been the best side by some way IMO. Got goals across the team too

Yeah I just hope Sarr comes back ASAP for selfish reasons. Not sure why this tournament has to be played every 2 years. At least meet in the middle and make it every 3 years if not 4.

It’s a tournament that’s been going for years
And it’s huge for that continent

Every 2 years just seems a bit excessive. Does any other federation have their tournament that frequently?

No
But this tournament has been going longer than any other apart from the World Cup
And the development of the game there needs this every 2 years (I listened to a few pods talking about it)

Sadio Mane shaped up to lay a tame pass back to the full back... but he turned on a sixpence, fooled everyone watching including Serge Aurier, and put in a great cross for the chap in the middle who did very well to score. Since then it has been patchy, it is SUPER hot over there. They just had a cooling break after 30 minutes, even at night time.
Which reminds me, there was a device invented where you put your palms on 2 metal spheres and cooling liquid cooled your blood down, you could cool down in 2 minutes or something because so much of your blood flow goes through your hands. Anyone remember that? Would be super useful for cooling breaks.

Pepe is on to rescue us

They should just have it every year

He just won a penalty.


As usual, VAR does a wonderful job of correcting the stupid referee.
VAR gets SO many of these decisions right, it is a wonderful tool

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Fingers crossed we may have sarr back soon

That ref....shocking first take

The commentator just shouted Seri

And my iPhone next to me, went "huh?" really loud and scared the brick out of me!

Sarr is still playing, still holding the whole midfield together. Hope he makes it through unscathed.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Strange seeing Frenchman Ndicka playing
Another that we could have signed

Missed most of this match. How was Sarr?

Anyone suggest a best 11 of the tournament? And would they win the PL?

Sarr did good. Mostly defensive really. On the right of a midfield 3 I think. Ran a thousand miles in super hot temperatures and in extra time, is now thoroughly exhausted.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Super cool Sarr. Lovely pen
