Penalty Shoot-Out Alert

Two hilariously bad penalties there.

The standard has ticked up. Pressure is bringing out the best in the takers.

Match point for the Burkinabés.

Saved! The drama goes on!

The Burkinabés take their second match point. The late, great Thomas Sankara will be smiling in his grave.

Egypt v Ivory Coast going to extra time

Penos it is

When it comes to proper defending, African football is where it’s at.

The African Cup Of Nations is basically chess on grass.

That first Egyptian pen was one of the best ive ever seen, rifled it.

And Bailly with one of the worst ive ever seen, so bad it looked deliberate been honest.

You’re in a bit of trouble if Eric Bailly is one of your top 3 penalty takers

Salah seals it.

Still never agree with your best penalty taker going 5th

Nor do I.

A team is only guaranteed three penalties in a penalty competition.

Didn’t Ronnie miss out on taking a penalty in one of the Euros as he was waiting until the 5th one?

Salahs ego kicking in.

Yep 2012 semi-final versus Spain I think. Gerrard was down to be 5th penalty taker for Liverpool in Istanbul too.

Mali - Equatorial Guinea imminent
