This afcon has been incredible and I'm saying this as someone who's team got knocked out in the groups. People who don't follow the tournament are missing out.

This is the worst shootout I've seen and I've seen some pretty bad ones from United.

You’re saying that because the keeper dived the right way so frequently. That’s down to chance to a large degree, not ability. You’ve probably seen a ton of shootouts like this, but where the keeper guessed the wrong way and the poorness of the penalty was not a factor.

Bebe was so shit :lol:

Braindead, like he hasn’t developed an iota since he left us ffs. Shoot, shoot, shoot from impossible distance and angles and then still misses his fecking spot kick.

Get in Bafana.

Jesus wept. Those were the worst penalties I’ve seen. Or maybe the best goalkeeping performance

Guessing the right way on 5/5 penalties isn't just chance.

He's not guessing - he's waiting and has amazing reaction time for pens

Some amazing saves from that South African keeper, one right at the end of normal time was world class.

He'll be getting a decent move in the summer.

He's 32 so probably not - never played pro outside of South Africa but was at Spurs youth at some point according to Wiki

Could be picked up as cheap backup as he was immense in that shootout, some keepers just seem to have that presence for those types of occasions.
