Beautiful by Morocco. Must admit that they have been the brighter side so far.
Am I allowed to confess that I have a man crush for Hervé Renard? I wanted him to come and take over our NT before he signed for Morocco.
And Cote d’Ivoire comes close there.

Almost every African wanted Renard to manage their national team at one point or another.
Have been a very good match. Both teams play good football.
Tunisia's keeper had a howler in the first game vs Angola, they replace and the other one makes a worse howler in this game 
What will their coach do for the next one ?

Not impressed with Pépé so far. Can't control the ball for shit
Morocco are really good, too bad their striker is gash

Ti va di culo che ti han fischiato il fuorigioco, ma sei un cretino
Sorry, had to get this off

Have to say, expected Ziyech to be more of a game breaker at this level, given that he's playing on the most talented team in the competition(together with senegal and algeria)
Well at least Zaha’s international career is going well...
Deserved win for Morocco. Perfect performance all around.
Morocco gets it over the line, despite their best efforts to give Ivory Coast a chance
Morocco 4th team to qualify to 16th round after Nigeria, Egypt and Algeria.
Ivory Coast manager should be sacked on the spot for his use of Zaha.
Best manager of an african side for me. Won with Zambia when they were nobodies. Proved himself over and again.
This Zimbabwe-Namibia match was a bit meh, wasn’t it? I started watching from halftime and haven’t seen much excitement.
Match finishes 1-0 for South Africa.
Tomorrow matches :
Mauritania - Angola
Cameroon - Ghana
Benin - Guinea Bissau
Last day of round 2.

Not exactly football related but sinister stories going round on social media (plus friends of mine who witnessed) that people are being photographed and sometimes forcibly by plainclothes police for chanting for Abu Treka in the 22nd minute or Al Ahly massacre in the 74th. Also they're trying to prevent Egyptians attending non Egypt games. Some people I know went to Senegal Algeria and got in at half time, if at all, were told Egyptians not allowed, must have a Senagalese or Algerian passport.
For those who don't know Abu Treka is Egypts legendary player and is blacklisted by the government for being pro Muslim brotherhood, and currently living in exile. He wore #22 hence the chanting at that minute. They cant arrest everyone who chants but apparently they take pictures of the ringleaders. Pretty dumb thing to do if you ask me, if they just let people be no one will notice much, now everyone waits for the 22nd minute to see what happens. Could backfire badly if foreign media picks it up.

Two 0-0 draws in a row. Have been a poor day it seems.
For a 0-0 draw, the Cameroon-Ghana match was actually quite exciting. The first half was end-to-end, whilst the second half was more in Ghana's favour. The lack of a goalscorer in both sides hurt them because they created numerous chances.
Started watching by the end of it though I was disappointed by the result.
Cameroon are now 5 points and Ghana 2. Ghana will need to defeat Guinea Bissau the next match, that draw with Benin was very unnecessary for them.
No goals today. Ridiculous.
Anyway ,tomorrow Group A and B will be concluded :
Nigeria - Madagascar
Burundi - Guinea
Uganda - Egypt
Zimbabwe - Dr Congo.
Standing of both groups :
Both Nigeria and Egypt have qualified but they still need to secure top spot of each group.

Seems like three classics today.
Imagine no goals have been scored today across both AFCON and Copa America, about 4-5 matches, not even a single fluke goal.
Damn VARImagine no goals have been scored today across both AFCON and Copa America, about 4-5 matches, not even a single fluke goal.
Indeed! Boring day overall. Even the Cameroon-Ghana game from which I expected a lot was pretty dull.Imagine no goals have been scored today across both AFCON and Copa America, about 4-5 matches, not even a single fluke goal.
If current scorelines stand, Madagascar are finishing top of Group B. A group that contains Nigeria and a Guinea with Naby Keita.
Football....feck’s sake

Watched the Cameroon game yesterday and had no idea who half of them were....they even put Choupo Moting on with ten minutes left and made him captain.
Sad how far they've fallen from their late 90s/early 00s squad when they were a real powerhouse with guys like Eto'o and Mbomba upfront. Geremi, Lauren and Wome full back options. Djemba Djemba in midfield.....
Edit: Just seen their squad. They have Bong who is squad player at Brighton then players from Slavia Prague, Panionios, Mariupol and Kayserispor
Midfield has Zambo Anguissa who was total waste of money for Fulham, a Hearts player and Maccabi Haifa player with 49 caps.
Still Seedorf is doing well for them to win the group.

Madagascar play some lovely football in some sequences
I guess it's due to status and him being at the biggest club in whole squad, 8 goals in last two seasons.
Would be like England calling up Andy Carroll and making him captain.
Andy Carroll hasn't featured in a long time though
Choupo is a regular for them.I think his last great performance was that brace vs United.
Madagascar.
Amazed Nigeria still call Ighalo up, so bad against Argentina in last WC.
Nigeria are a bit of an embarrassment
Hoping to see Romario Baggio get some minutes for Madagascar.
Madagascar top the group. Unbelievable stuff. What a dream debut of them in the tournament.
Nigeria now will be playing the runner up of Group F, so probably either Ghana or Cameroon!
How shit are Nigeria
Disgraceful.
Happy for Madagascar and all that, they deserve this.
