AFCON 2023 / 2024
- Thread starter Rood
- Start date
They've played loads of AFCONs in the January before a World Cup before so always logical to fine tune preparations especially as they'll be 9 or even 10 African teams at the next one.
Top 100 touch in football history from Haller.
True, but that means each team will play at least 8 games this year, if they want qualifiers wrapped up by a winter AFCON. Wider conversation but too many games between club and international football (which we know is not just an African issue)
I will be watching every afcon until I die. This is pure football
You guys were talking too loud especially on twitter so the agenda has to runI forgot to ask the mods to ban you from this thread for a week
You forgot one. If the Ghana keeper catches the ball, Ivory Coast don't qualify past the group stages.

What a story for Ivory Coast. Lost 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea - Lost 2 of their group games and finished 3rd - Manager resigned - Conceded in 4th min against Senegal and went on to win on penalties - Comeback against Mali with 10 men. Not to mention Haller who won the battle against testicular cancer scoring the winner. Really liked the performance of Ivory Coast in this game, and with the exuberance of Simon Adingra there's something to build upon in future competitions.
This is going to start a trend of looking for that sweet new manager bounce in the middle of international tournaments isn't it? Congrats to Ivory Coast.
They say it will be summer '25 in Morocco but it's Africa so anything can change at short notice
I guess it won't be that much hotter than it has been at the peaks of this tournament - obviously varies city to city though
Well part of World cup in 2030 will be in Morocco and that's certainly a summer tournament, can remember Egypt one in 2019 being summer aswell.
That was sublime. I already was thinking after his bicicleta how difficult it really is to do what Garnocho did against Everton, and then he comes up with that. I first thought Adingra’s cross hit a cluster of strange quarks.
It was great seeing the close ups of the celebration.
Gives ‘coming from behind’ a while new meaning. Simon Adingra was my man of the match for the finals. Very deserved win in that match.
Apparently Iwobi has deleted every post from his instagram after being flooded with abuse.

My Twitter feed always has a fair bit of Chelsea stuff and the Nigerian Chelsea fans are noticably brutal.

Idiots
It was just banter. Apparently some influencer was going off about him and maybe that made some fans follow suit.
The next one is to be held between Mid-July and Mid-August 2025 meaning Premier League players involved will miss pretty much their clubs entire pre-season and possibly the first few games of their clubs season.
