Vive_La_Villa Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Anyone just saw that lengthy VAR check? Really was no need for it to be that long but thankfully legit goal didn’t get overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted January 22 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22 absolutely crazy game for Cape verde vs Egypt, sounds like Mozambique vs Ghana is just the same, Ghana going out as it stands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that drama in the Egypt game with Cape Verde scoring on 100th minute but Egypt went through any way! All sorts of crazy emotions for the Egyptians there. Cape Verde had won the group regardless Edited January 22 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Egypt out now along with Algeria, Cameroon and one of Ivory Coast/Senegal Morocco or Nigeria really should win it from here but be nice to have a surprise winner Edited January 28 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 So Ivory Coast sneak through again, though I have to say they were rubbish (as were Senegal for all bar the first 5 minutes). Not a game that will live long in the memory, but just gotta find a way to get through and the Ivorians are suddenly in the QFs with half the decent teams already out.

HanoiVillan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Quite looking forward to Asian Cup tomorrow, got S Korea v Saudi, Klinsmann v Mancini, which has to be the hardest 2nd round match going. Also a word for Tajikistan, who beat UAE on penalties earlier. Not so very long ago, this is what Tajikistan were up to in 'international' football: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Saudi Arabia go out on penalties after South Korea equalize in the 99th minute. Tough luck. That's why it's so important to pay everyone and not just the refs on the pitch. The 4th official is almost as important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the most noteworthy thing being Mancini just turning away and walking down the tunnel before the penalty shoot out ended. What a **** prick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a **** prick. Was just gonna post the same thing. Literally turned his back on them before Hwang took the last kick. An absolutely classless word removed.

Rustibrooks Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The refs during the AFCON games I’ve watched have been pretty good. Certainly the best I’ve seen in a competition for a long time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the best I’ve seen in a competition for a long time. Agreed. There was one exception (a player who got a second yellow for 'celebrating too much' after scoring) but otherwise I think the standard has been great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Really entertaining game on right now between Nigeria and Angola. Nigeria are 1-0 up but it’s been pretty end to end stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 VAR saved Angola from going 2-0 although it was the right decision, the keeper is lucky because he parried a Osimhen header into the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Home nation Ivory Coast with 1 player sent off score a 120th minute winner to beat Mali. A back heal from Diakité. Mali players fighting with the ref. Edited February 3 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Absolute scenes with this Ivory Coast vs Mali game, crazy that the Malians are chasing the ref as well. I was watching the Villa game but I heard Mali only have themselves to blame for this loss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
