Gave up after about 20 mins and watched some Asian Cup on the second-rate wrestling channel instead. Peak AFCON possibly at Algeria v Angola, where some baldy p***k keeps standing up right in front of the camera. Can't remember ever getting the view blocked by a massive napper on the TV before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It's as if they deliberately picked the worst possible camera angles for the replays when the referee was reviewing it there, but it's a clear penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking the game up and being knowledgable as well. I had no idea all teams at this tournament have qualified for an AFCON before until they mentioned it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Only a very small number of African countries haven't qualified for the tournament at some point - only 10 out of 54 have never made it (Central African Republic, Chad, Djibouti, Eritrea, Eswatini, Lesotho, Sao Tome & Principe, Seychelles, Somalia and South Sudan).

Not really surprising, most of those are tiny, South Sudan has only been a country for a decade and at war for most of that and the CAR and Somalia are failed states, and Eritrea makes North Korea look like Disneyland. I'm still not convinced that 24 teams every two years is the best format - I think maybe 24 every four and a AFCON Super Cup every two with maybe the best 8 teams would be better.

BFTD Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Commentary has generally been much better than what we normally get. I remember the South African streams I was watching last time out had better commentators/pundits too. Cracking result for Namibia yesterday, and they deserved it. That's been the story of several of the surprise results so far - it's not that the big boys have been necessarily shite, but that the less fancied nations have been much better than expected. Well, that we would have expected - the commentators haven't seemed terribly surprised. These things always seem to settle down by the end of the tournament, but it would be great if the wee nations kicked everyone's arses for once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
