How did Burkina end up in same group as Algeria? Theyre much better than half the teams that made playoff stage.

They were the best ranked team on the 2nd pot according to FIFA but missed out by 3 spots vs Mali & DRC for pot 1

Have to admit the French development system is untouchable. Almost every player on the pitch went through French youth system

Rohr is like Ole with subs…always waits until it’s too late

Ighalo needs to come off. Chukwueze or Kele should also be on. We need to win this game, let’s not mess around and get a last minute surprise like against CAR.

You always get a group that’s stacked come WCQ eg Cameroon and CIV. Last cycle there was the group with Nigeria, Algeria and Cameroon…

Every time I watch Benlamri play hes either on verge of red card or penalty.

Rohr needs to go before AFCON I swear. He sets the team up scared to lose rather than set up to win.

You have to give it up for Burkina

They'll have honestly advanced in most other groups to be honest, really feel bad for them. They gave us a fight in both legs and wouldn't have felt out of place in the playoffs

They got screwed honestly, they are better than almost every team Ive watched at this stage.

Yup, and they didn't even play a single "home" game tbh

The Lions vs The Elephants…this is worthy of an AFCON final proper.
