Have to say, seen probably 50% of the matches in this years tournament and the quality is very poor! Interestingly Aaron Mclean has been tweeting Aluko in amazement he hasnt gone with Nigeria too....reckons hes better than 90% off them even with injury https://twitter.com/A9Mac
You should really expect that with this tournament to be honest. I've seen better sunday league matches.
Just finished watching Niger vs DR Congo. Jesus, it was like watching North Ferriby vs North Ferriby Reserves!
Can't say I watch a lot of it but it's a right farce when I do. The foul count late in the 2nd half tonight was something like 20 each. It's just a constant stop-start foul after foul (and they aren't even that hard tackling, they just have to have a lie down after every tackle and the ref grants it). Then they get some big bastard to kick it as far as he can from the free kick with no thought about keeping possession or anything, someone else gets bumped and the cycle restarts. It's ****e.
