A new name on the cup. Lost the last final. Have had some quite good players in the last decade or so.

Doesn’t seem like that big of a reason.

Ok. “Great” might have been a push. “nice” would be more appropriate. Will edit appropriately.

I’m trying to respect the elders of the forum this year.

A very low scoring start to AFCON with a plethora of 1-0 games. Italia 90’s vibes about the football thus far. Very cautious and defensive games in the early stages.

7 games out of 8 went under 2.5 goals I think.

It always seems to be really low scoring

African football doesn’t have the defensive naivety you find in Europe.

Who is number 2 for Nigeria? Looks a serious operator.

Is Mumba playing

Serious defending lime the Italians

Is Rigobert Song there playing for Cameroon?

Some penalty there

What is the ref after doing in Mali-Tunisia?

The referee in the Tunisia vs Malo game tried to blow it up after 85 minutes. Decided to blow it up when the whistle was at 89:50 despite there being a few VAR stoppages.

Jimmy Cooney reffing this?
