Bilbao with the school playground goal

Bro, that is the most Bilbao-esque goal ever. If Ancelotti doesn’t win CDR this year…..

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Just like I predicted would happen to Fati happened.

Bilbao are more or less an old fashioned English team.

That’s that banter era fukkery. More of these in your future
Just wait for Dinamo Tsibilisi away

They swore koeman was the problem. Xavi losing out on another trophy. When Napoli Knicks then out of Europa

 

[4-Rin]

Ghana and Algeria dumped out in the group stage

I expect the semi's to be Nigeria vs Senegal and Cameroon vs Ivory Coast. Anything can happen from there.

I'm not worried about the world cup qualifiers anymore. The only way we don't qualify is if the new couch is on some bullshyt.

I was against Eguavoen leading the team based on his past results but we're playing better than we were under Rohr. So we should probably stick with him.

all that talking Arsenal fans did to end up taking an L & my Salah jersey came in today too

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Gambia 1 - 0 Tunisia
The Scorpions stung The Eagles of Carthage so much that even Hannibal felt it.

Mali 2 - 0 Mauritania
The Eagles talons made quick work of Al-Murabitun.

The Scorpions and The Eagles are through to the knockout stage. Will The Scorpions show that they are the deadly Mortal Kombatant of the tourney? Will The Eagles soar through the tourney while singing 'Hotel California'?

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

The top 4 third place teams that have made it to the knockout stage:

Cape Verde - Will the Tubarões Azuis (Blue Sharks) make a big bite in the AFCON?

Malawi - Can The Flames set the whole continent on fire?

Tunisia - Will The Eagles of Carthage conquer African football and make Hannibal proud?

Comoros - Will The Coelacanths show that this living fossil still has a bite in African football?

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

well it was "only 9 minutes" of "isolated madness" and he was influenced by "a mental disorder" ..

sounds like he is gunning for AfTV ..

also sounds like DT plans to return like ....

I have that same prediction for the Semis, but I think Mali could knock out Senegal if they meet in the QFs.

I'd want Cameroon in the final on home soil, but I think CIV might be a tougher test.

I'm not worried about the world cup qualifiers anymore. The only way we don't qualify is if the new couch is on some bullshyt.

Yep, over two legs I fancy our chances with anyone on the continent, I'd still rather avoid Mali or Cameroon though. Not just because they are good sides, but because I'd rather the strongest of the strong represent CAF for WC'22.

If I could have it my way, the final draw would be something like this (bolded teams would advance).

Nigeria vs Egypt
Algeria vs Mali
Tunisia vs Cameroon
Morocco vs DRC
Senegal vs Ghana

I was against Eguavoen leading the team based on his past results but we're playing better than we were under Rohr. So we should probably stick with him.

Is it because of the bronze at AFCON 2006 or failing to qualify for the 2006 WC (Still can't believe Angola made it over us). TBF, that WC was an odd one for CAF. Angola and Togo in the final tournaments. 4 debut nations in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Angola and Togo

Not just any trophy. It was the Copa Del Rey. Historically, this is their trophy to lose. Even Koeman won it last year
