Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - It's Amad World

Both these games it’s showed Onana hasn’t played, damn shame what’s happened with him.

Amazing shot stopper but his decision making has always been poor. He will literally come for anything and everything while very admirable not good long term if you aren't learning from your mistakes.

Put some respek on our football heard all the nonsense about boring football with no thought given to the fact teams haven’t even had a chance to work on stuff this been electric from the first minute

Best game of the tournament. Props to my Ethiopian brehs they are playing very hard and have some on the ball quality but are gassed now.

Agreed he’s always been risky to the extreme but I do think there’s a noticeable lack of sharpness, multiple times he’s looked very flat footed.

Great stuff

a ton of people are losing money on this game. Bunch of tweets and posts about how betting the under in this tournament is a guarantee winner.

I love it, RAWK been complaining about boring shyt football, under 1.5 is a money maker so many decided to go for it today and they been spanked


I just lumped on Cameroon because they were easy money at 1/4 and I knew goals were finna come and I’ve ate

the Ethiopians have somewhat technical skills, but they are just too little and not as athletic

Cmon breh, how are you gonna leave out Algeria when they are defending champions, unbeaten in 35 games etc. They are tier 1 until proven otherwise.

Also had a solid run in 2014 World Cup.

Both these games it’s showed Onana hasn’t played, damn shame what’s happened with him.

That's the thing, Algeria has only been to the AFCON final 3 times, winning twice. Compare that to Cameroon (7-time finalist, 5-time winners) or Nigeria (7-time finalists, 3-time winners). Cameroon has been to 7 WCs, Nigeria 6. 2014 was the best showing from Algeria when they reached the R16. Prior to that, they never made it out the 1st round.

There's still the case of performance in the Olympics.

I probably rank em like this

Tier 1A - Cameroon, Nigeria
Tier 1B - Egypt, Ghana
Tier 2 - CIV, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria

People were saying taking the under 2.5 was guaranteed money

Aboubakar took off on a hatty back to back I know he pissed

I thought you were talking tier 1 currently not all time. If the latter, then I agree with you.

I think that’s pretty fair

 

[thatrapsfan]

3 percent of Cameroon is fully vaccinated and the games require vaccination for attendance.

Don’t think we will see any crowd approach the 80 percent capacity all tournament

 

[Roberto Firmino]

I definitely want Algeria in the final @I.AM.PIFF gotta get this work but can you imagine a final between us and Cameroon and in Cameroon

 

[Roberto Firmino]

If Algeria flop their group and come 2nd doing them in the semis and Cameroon in the final would be awesome though
