- Thread starter adexkola
- Start date
That's that for Algeria
As results stand, Tunisia, Cape Verde, Malawi and Comoros (?!?!) going through. Will post the bracket once the group stage is concluded later today.

3-0 score line is misleading. Could easily be 6 or 7
Indeed.
Thank goodness Ivory Coast is on the opposite side of the bracket from Nigeria...
Soft as a tissue.
Never a pen.
Justice.
Karma
And then Mahrez misses a penalty
Has not been Algeria's year.

They haven't been as good as Nigeria IMO, though they have a better squad on paper. Credits to their performance but IMO, this game is mostly down to Algeria performing horribly (even worse than they performed in their previous 2 games).
That body feint by Pepe before his goal, (hesi in basketball) was so fecking smooth 
Algeria just didn't turn up for the competition this year. It's crazy how they could be so dominant for three years running and then suddenly look lost and out of ideas practically overnight. They can't even blame it on injuries or absent players or anything of the sort. It's just strange.

This international unbeaten record they were aiming fecked them up maybe. Players and Belmadi talked way too much about that
He is a weird one. So much ability but so many terrible performances consistently
Ahah, as if they could take our record
Massive dive by Tunesia, but justice strikes again, Gambia saves!
Tunisia got 3 soft penalties (one per game) and missed all of them. Strange things.
It's been a day of saved penalties. One in each game so far
The goalkeeping this tournament has been very good for the most part.
Here is the bracket :
Nigeria still the only team that looks like they have a plan when they play.

Shame all those people saying the level has been shit and the football boring haven't been watching it recently. Or maybe they just disappeared because of their agenda.
The Burkina - Gabon game was fantastic.
End to end stuff !!!
Hopefully Nigeria - Tunisia will be just as good.

Our final ball has been shit. We are rushing things. We are dominating though.
Agreed. Tunisia looking to hit on the counter but the defense is sweeping up through balls well.
Not like this Nigeria please.
Great goal. Weak from the keeper though.
Well, Nigeria have to go for it.

What is it with Arsenal/Ex Arsenal players and dumb red cards.
Never a red card
Ridiculous red card
Insane red card. A yellow I'd understand.
Iwobi will be arrested at Murtala Muhammed Airport.
It seemed reckless and Msakni could have been hurt badly. Unfortunately the slow motion makes it look worse than it is. Once the VAR got involved you knew the risk of a red card was huge.
But I think Nigeria can still turn this around. They’ve been the better team and Tunisia is starting to get tired.

Nigeria are going out tamely
