Shite keepers Bright kits Incompetent officials Corruption allegations Overly enthusiastic supporters Terrible pitches/stadiums I can’t wait Tbf I think the officials have overall been pretty good at the tournament getting most of the big decisions right and the pitches have all been fine as well in impressive stadiums. Seen a few goalkeeping errors but not sure you see significantly more at AFCON than you do anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Good tournament - flagged a bit at the quarter-final stage when all the plucky outsiders punched themselves out, but that's just what happens, isn't it. Nigeria were a totally different team in the final; I guess they must have been knackered. They played the last ten minutes of the game like they forgot they were losing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
