ACON. Talking points.

Senegal have started well. Mane with the opener, 2-0 up with 10 minutes to play. No chance he'll be back for the second leg.
Liverpool are still waiting to find out how much ransom money Cameroon want for Matip.
First couple of days, so should liven up as the week progresses.

 

No mane for replay. Music to my eyes.

 

Mahrez with a brace today as well, although he can come back anytime after next weekend.
Seriously, if we cannot hurt Leicester next weekend, then we are in some trouble.

 

Based on our season so far, you just know that next week will be when Vardy remembers how to score (and Leicester remember how to feed him), Musa shows the talent which he showed in pre-season against Barcelona, Morgan, Simpson & Huth are allowed to once again freely man-handle the opposition, and Okazaki goes back to scoring alongside working hard.

 

But will it be Puel's fault?
Les Reed's tactics?

Or the fault of Steven Caulker.

Tonight's games;

Ivory Coast - Togo {Zaha to make his debut}
Congo DR - Morocco

 

Ouch

 

He was certainly aiming for the balls to be fair

 

Well I can see why Kessie didn't end up coming here, when he was linked. He is far too class sadly.

 

Surely it would be sensible for all to have the African competition at the same time as the Euros. Africa is a big continent, there are places that you can play football in our summer?

 

Ivory Coast 0-0 Togo.

I think Ivory Coast could win the tournament, mainly because they have by far the least bad defence.

 

Delighted to announce that not606 favourite Vincent A Boob A Car has scored the winning goal for Cameroon.

 

I see we were all very interested in this
