Its a Tunisian history thing it was Carthage during the Roman era and Hannibal was the Roman general in Carthage.

WTF

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Tunisia 0 - 1 Mali
Despite having a clipped wing (Red Card), Les Aigles (The Eagles) proved themselves as the superior bird of prey over the Aigles de Carthage (Eagles of Carthage).

Mauritania 0 - 1 Gambia
"GET OVER HERE!" said The Scorpions, then they finished Al-Murabitun. LOL

Pepe on the bench even with the NT. Zaha not starting either. They should still win big, EQ guinea has a bunch of covid absences.

Morocco and Algeria really should be further ahead of the pack with the number of French, Dutch, Belgian and Spanish NT rejects they have available. Idk, the N. Africans just get bodied when it comes time for AFCON.

Morocco and Algeria have the resources compared to the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa, I'd expect them to do better.



Yea ES Tunis and Etoile du Sahel hold it down for Tunisia but they still underperform, tbh, outside Egypt, the North African nations underperform badly.



Let's keep it a buck, if you really look at that scenario, that mistake looks to be one of time-keeping. Match corruption/fixing in that Mali-Tunisia game seems thin to me. This error seems like the ref just dropped the ball something serious.

Its the mentality similar to that of Mexico and Turkey ballers

They generally come thru the good to great European Academies but never kick on from the potential they show in their youth and early pro careers.

Take Feghouli Brahimi and Mahrez from the 2014 squad. The first 2 had a strong football education and got good moves early into their careers. Clubs playing in the CL. While Mahrez the total opposite small academy playing in tier 2 football in both France and England and ended up surpassing both of their careers combine.

That Spanish looking dude on Eq. Guinea is eligible because his grandfather was born there when it was a Spanish colony

 

[BlackAchilles]

He plays the game the right way innit

 

[Liu Kang]

Vini on fire

Still dont get the point of Perez getting Kylian when he already has a jewel on the left. With Benz, that would be 3 dudes hogging the center/left, not sure how this will work. And if they get Haaland on top of that

I saw OP in that Balde thread in TLR . He went from being a Keita to looking like a guy called Keith.

I wish Man U could buy youngsters and actually develop them.
