African Cup of Nations thread 22:07 - Jan 9 with 32818 views | queensparker | Watching the Cameroon Burkina Faso game and it reminds me of how the World Cup used to be, you might know one or two players but the rest are a mystery. Some real good players on show you’ve never heard of plus proper fouls. Burkina Faso look decent. And Technicolor kits. Looking forward to watching it - seeing Chair and Taarabt ripping it up for Morocco would be a great QPR moment, plus looks like Seny might get a game for Senegal. No idea who might win though [Post edited 9 Jan 2022 23:30]

Ha quite! Only once the game had ended. Hit his elbow and defender not looking at the ball, but I suppose if the shot was on target? | |

Nailed on pen for me. Great diving save by the defender. | | | |

Didn't see enough from the replay but either way, it's harsh as Zim had grown into the game and did well to hold off a far superior team. Ref was solid all game though and booked him too so was obviously sure. | |

Either way when they cut to the VAR room they didn't actually seem to be taking a look at it. Maybe they only needed one look. | |

It wasn't really clear to me what they were doing in the VAR room. Other than maybe discussing what they'd had for lunch. | |

Tournaments where most of the third place teams go through really do kill the group stage altogether. Unless you're scotland it's actually more difficult not to qualify (sorry Karl that was cheap). | | | |

Yeah it's a nonsense, there was a stat going around about the Euros which had the same format - some absurdly high % of the total games to eliminate 33% of the teams. Good moneyspinner, though. Chair not getting on here, Morocco with a likely winner inside the last ten min. | |
