There were a lot of actions deserving of yellows.I would tend to disagree with both of you. Besides the calls for which the VAR assistants could have intervened, I think the ref is handling the game quite well. Even without dishing out loads of cards, he is controlling the players alright. Some of the arguable calls you both noted are definitely arguable, like the penalty not awarded for the ball kicked out almost together by the Algerian defender and Senegalese striker. The refereeing hasn’t been as controversial as you both make it seem.
It shouldn't have come to that but good decision nonethelessAt least VAR worked...
No penalty. His arms were behind his body, he couldn't do anything about that.
He really isNiang is fecking trash
The blood, I thinkWhat the hell is this? Why can't he get in?
Edit : Haha, the shorts. Algeria is still playing with 10 players.
Yeah, the blood on the shorts.The blood, I think
0 goal with so many chances during the entire tournamentHe really is
They just weren't good enough. Algeria was in control the whole game.What a poo way to lose a final for Senegal, a flukey goal from a bunged shot that took an eternity going in.
That's mainly because of the early goal. They didn't have to go to second gear at all. Senegal never looked like scoring.Algeria, 1 shot, 1 on target, 1 goal, 56% passing accuracy, 32 fouls. AFCON winners
No. How many matches did you watch?The level of this tournament was so feking poor! It's crazy!
