RedAndWhite91 Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 The awful goalkeepers Teams sacking their manager after every game Supporters watching the whole game with jugs balanced on their heads Andre Bikey Mido Is this true, or just a sweeping generalisation of the African continent?
fish fingers Posted 9 January, 2010 Author Posted 9 January, 2010 Is this true, or just a sweeping generalisation of the African continent? Just tune in from tomorrow night. I find that Nigeria and Ghana supporters are the best at this skill.
Ponty Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 The possibility of some gun-toting action is a big draw also.

Um Bongo Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 I like their shoot on sight policy. Plenty of diving to go with it though.
JackFrost Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 The awful goalkeepers Teams sacking their manager after every game Supporters watching the whole game with jugs balanced on their heads Andre Bikey Mido Eccentric goalkeeping, the 2004 ACN gave coverage to the world's worst international goalkeeper, Benin's Rachad Chitou. After making a howler in the first game, in Benin's 2nd game a 4-0 loss to Morroco, he was responsible for 3 howlers and was dropped for the last game. I remember the first two to this day. 1-0 He ran 20 yards out of his goal in a reckless attempt to punch away a free kick that was played into the area, Morrocan player just looped a simple header over him and into the net. 2-0 He palmed a Morrocan corner into his own net Main reason though to watch it though The whole tournament being mercilessly rigged in the host nation's favour every year, and increasingly inventive methods to do this. we've had medical staff running over star players on the Nigeria team with the stretcher buggy thing, local ball boys deliberately taking 2 mins to give the opposition keepers the ball, refs starting the 2nd half when half the players on one team are still in the tunnel, entire coaching staff and substitutes of one side running on to the pitch to protest at farcical refereeing decisions (they had 12 minutes injury at the end of that game in 02, Senegal was one of the teams) It's almost worth watching for pure comedy value on some occasions
bungle Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 Cup of Nations is the best international tournament to watch by some distance. It will be better than the World Cup.
RonManager Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 Cup of Nations is the best international tournament to watch by some distance. It will be better than the World Cup. ?Fact?
RonManager Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 I wonder if Adebayor will be able to play for Man City, or will he have to wait until the competition is over, even though he and his nation are no longer taking part.
Deppo Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 I expect he'll be able to play immediately, but he might want to take a while to get over the experience.
Hatch Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 Isn't Man City based in Moss Side, home from home and all that.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 will it be on terrestrial tv? Seem to just be on Eurosport http://www.livesoccertv.com/competitions/international/africa-cup-of-nations/
fish fingers Posted 10 January, 2010 Author Posted 10 January, 2010 the semis and final are on the bbc. Eurosport for all the other games. Togo back in the competition.
JackFrost Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 rubbish, they had all the games on BBCi last time
sotonjoe Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Seem to just be on Eurosport http://www.livesoccertv.com/competitions/international/africa-cup-of-nations/ cheers
Andy_Porter Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 You can get a months Eurosport subscription for £3.99 and watch all the games.
Andy_Porter Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 what a game!!! Worst eight goal game i've ever seen... I don't know if i'm being overly cynical but that game seemed bent as ****.
Hatch Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 I stopped watching at 4-0 and switched over to the La Liga.
JackFrost Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Worst eight goal game i've ever seen... I don't know if i'm being overly cynical but that game seemed bent as ****. If it had been Mali throwing the lead away I'd totally agree with u
fish fingers Posted 11 January, 2010 Author Posted 11 January, 2010 cracking game last night, great start to the tournament. Looks like an attendance of zero for this next match.
stevegrant Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Massive crowd in for Malawi v Algeria. Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there?
bungle Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there? No more than 50 in there, I reckon.
fish fingers Posted 11 January, 2010 Author Posted 11 January, 2010 No more than 50 in there, I reckon. and that's all the Algerian VIP's
fish fingers Posted 11 January, 2010 Author Posted 11 January, 2010 Togo will be disqualified if they do not turn up for their game later today. Seems a little harsh. I'm sure they could play their first game at a later date.
bungle Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 An excellent goalkeeping error, and Malawi lead.
fish fingers Posted 11 January, 2010 Author Posted 11 January, 2010 An excellent goalkeeping error, and Malawi lead. A classic Cup of Nations moment.
Colinjb Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 2 to Malawi, awesome header from a freekick. And all in glorious HD on Eurosport.
fish fingers Posted 11 January, 2010 Author Posted 11 January, 2010 this is turning into a big shock.
bungle Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 this is turning into a big shock. Algeria have barely done anything. The skate Belhadj looks OK, but other than that they have been laboured and slow. Hoping for a classic Cup of Nations second half.
ChrisPY Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Anyone know if adebayor ran the length of the coach to celebrate in front of the gunners?
fish fingers Posted 11 January, 2010 Author Posted 11 January, 2010 should have been 4 after another goalkeeping error.
bungle Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Historic. Malawi's first ever Cup of Nations win. Well done to all who watched.
stevegrant Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 I'm sure Fabio Capello's quaking in his boots after that result...
bungle Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 A smattering of people have turned up to watch this one, in a group now using the same format as the Auto Windscreen Shield did. Excellent.
fish fingers Posted 11 January, 2010 Author Posted 11 January, 2010 A smattering of people have turned up to watch this one, in a group now using the same format as the Auto Windscreen Shield did. Excellent. A fairly decent crowd for this one, although to be expected as the Elephants are favourites.
JackFrost Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Elvis Kafoteka scored the 2nd goal for Malawi. Plays for Zesco United in Zambia if anyone wants to sign him on FM10;)
Deppo Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Historic. Malawi's first ever Cup of Nations win. Well done to all who watched. Yes, well done for watching a game of football on TV.
bungle Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 0-0 draw there leaves the 3-team group wide open, and makes Ivory Coast v Ghana on Friday a massive game.
Deppo Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 How will this group pan out? The top two still go through?
