That's actually very embarrassing for the ref. How can you not see that's a pen?
Ridiculous decision but VAR did its jobThat's a pen and a red.
How has he given Pepe a yellow ?
Clear pen. Don’t think it’s a red. The 2 defenders are there where the attacker took the ball.That's a pen and a red.

To be fair to the previous manager. Haller and Adingra have missed the start of the tournament with injury. There were fitness concerns with Kessie too.Ivory Coast looking so much better after the attacking subs - got to be questions over the coach starting picks and still weird that Zaha didn't even make the squad
Yes I did read an article about how Zaha had never really fit in at Ivory Coast and always been a bit of an outsider to the rest of the squadTo be fair to the previous manager. Haller and Adingra have missed the start of the tournament with injury. There were fitness concerns with Kessie too.
Zaha and Ivory Coast have had problems for a while, similar to Onana with Cameroon.
Huh? Is this your first time watching penalties?Don’t get how you can hit the post of a pen All that target to aim for
No. Just baffles meHuh? Is this your first time watching penalties?
And just to top it off they’ll probably go on to win itSo the team that qualified by the skin of their teeth after losing 4-0 to Gambia knock out the favourites in the round of 16.
Welcome to AFCON where nothing makes sense.

I forgot to mention that they have no manager. They sacked their manager in the middle of the tournament after the 4-0 loss.And just to top it off they’ll probably go on to win it
Thought exactly thisNew guy talking to girl in nightclub meme.
Mali or Burkina Faso are solid teams. Ivory Coast has the home advantage though. If they make it past either... Clear path to the finalIvory Coast has a clear route to the final. No big names in their half of the bracket.
Aren’t they also trying to get another country’s manager on loan for the rest of the tournament?I forgot to mention that they have no manager. They sacked their manager in the middle of the tournament after the 4-0 loss.
They tried to get Renard the French womens national team manager on loan. Didn't work out though.Aren’t they also trying to get another country’s manager on loan for the rest of the tournament?
(and Bebe)Come on Angola. Do it for Manucho!
Pretty sure Bebe plays for Cape Verde.(and Bebe)
Oh right, I confused itPretty sure Bebe plays for Cape Verde.
Wait...the underwear model now coaches the women's team???They tried to get Renard the French womens national team manager on loan. Didn't work out though.
South Africa vs Morrocco should be a good game of fluid football. Won't be as easy as expected as South Africa aren't bad. Burkina Faso are also about evenly matched with Mali.Last day of Round of 16, Mali and Morocco expected to go through
Walid Regragui will be on the touchline for Morocco after his 4 match ban was overturned
The refereeing in particular has been quite good especially in terms of the use of VAR. The female refs have also been quite good, which has been nice to see.I'm now convinced this is the best AFCON I've watched to date. Ultra competitive, shocks galore and superb refereeing.
