Handle your business in the playoff get your shyt together and we might see each other in Qatar

Live by the pen die by the pen. What a coverup for 90 minutes of fraudulence.

Salah plays today so y'all LFC fans can get your shyt off, egypt will lose and only way Salah scores is from the penalty spot. Great players do it for club and country, home and away.

Yeah an Egyptian that won AFCON. A true Egyptian King.

This shyt deeper than club allegiances and every Pool player is an opp to me cause it's AFCON time


I'm gonna make an exception for this fakkit though


All 3 of ours through and making meaningful impacts, no goals, no assists and a missed pen from ya man

Stick a fork in Algeria. These guys are done done. Idk if they even qualify for the WC.

CIV def came to play, especially since they’ll be missing the WC.

Also, this AFCON has really proved that Africa only getting 5 slots in a travesty. I think 7 slots is a better allocation.

Proven what exactly? Looks like any other high level tournament. Some favourites go out early and a few surprise under the radar team go thru. A good tournament is good knockout round games.

Also got to do it in the World Cup to show they deserve the extra spots. Need more QF final and further appearances instead of once every 8 years or just 1 or 2 team making it no further than the last 16.

5 from 54 is a joke

Still better than everyone else outside of UEFA has

Better than having to go thru the intercontinental playoff. Like the other confederation have to do.

Africa getting 9 spots for 2026. So don't really see the complaint. Either he forgot or he's on with only wanting 7 teams to go.

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Ivory Coast 3 - 1 Algeria
The Desert Warriors fled from The Elephants' stampede. Algeria needs bigger Fennec Foxes.

Sierra Leone 0 - 1 Eq Guinea
Nzalang Nacional (National Thunder) blotted out the Leone Stars.

The Elephants and Nzalang Nacional (National Thunder) are through to the knockout stage. Will The Elephants show that their size ain't a joke and dominate the AFCON? Will the storm of Nzalang Nacional (National Thunder) cover the whole of African football?

I expected a lot better from Algeria.

*The Algerian and Ghanaian teams sit in their corners. They look at each other and hang their heads in shame. The teams meet up then hug each other."
Algerian Captain: "Hey Ghana, would you like some Algeria Tajine?"

Ghana Team: "Sure." *in their heads*: "We'd prefer Moroccan Tajine!"

Ghanaian Captain: "Thanks, Algeria. Allow us to make you some Ghana Jollof Rice?"
Algeria Team: "That would be wonderful." *in their heads*: "We'd rather have Naija Jollof Rice!"

A three year sentence would humble most people, but this idiot managed to somehow make himself seem like a bigger d#ckhead.

The fact that he would say anything other than “I’m sorry” is truly scumbag behavior
