Our new midfielder Samba Diakite will be in action in the semi-final at 7.00 on Eurosport. Let's see a Man of the Match performance and a narrow defeat for Mali...
even if Mali loose they've got to play the 3rd/4th place game, so I'd rather see Diakite win - unless he'll be allowed to bunk off the 3rd/4th game
Oh bollox! I forgot they have those bloody meaningless games. In that case let's hope he plays a blinder, stiffs Drogba and they win with ease...
I think this should be a real test for him, up against the Ivorians. I'm praying he's the new Makelele.
HD does show every bit of Drogba 's simulation in great clarity. Our guy's probably been the pick of the Mali team.
Diakite goes on a terrific run, driving right at the Elephants, and the ball eventually finds its way to Yatabare, who fires over - but that was better from Mali and the QPR loan signing gave them great hope with a surging run. - Sounds good enough They have to play 3rd place play-off on Saturday though
