True, then it means our problems have never been players. It's incredible that finding the problem with United is such a holy grail.
African Cup of Nations 2021 (played in 2022) | Final: Senegal v Egypt, 7 PM UK time
- Thread starter adexkola
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I can't understand Mendy's decision there. He should have come out but waited and gave Traoré a chance to shoot.. bailed out by Koulibaly's impressive recovery.
Burkina Faso look spent 
Two defenders to the rescue. Diallo with a deserved lead for Senegal after Koulibaly's effort.
2-0
Done and dusted.
Senegal looks like the solid team we expected. Still, only 1 goal conceded in 6 games.
Here we go
As soon as I said that.. Great second half.
Game over
Clinical Sadio Mané to seal it.
Mane and Salah proving their status in these finals.
That's a great finish by Mane. I thought he'd fecked it after his 2nd touch.
Great stuff. Mané vs Salah final would be cool.
Salah vs Mane in the final. Destiny.
Very very impressed with this referee.
Very good calls so far. Confident enough to change his decision when called by VAR.
Consistent in his decisions and not fooled by the diving tactics
Looks very much in control of the game.

Senegal have gone about this tournament like a proper top side, started unremarkably, then slowly grown into their stride as the rounds have progressed with more and more solid performances. They look like serious contenders for the trophy now. I wouldn’t have thought/said this a week ago.
Also, excellent refereeing today, I thought the ref was really good.

Felt the same.
Salah plays on the right and Mane plays on the left. Looks they will clash a few times. Will be interesting to watch, if it happens!
Well I for one am hoping Cameroon make the final
Both Egypt and Cameroon have so many titles. I hope Senegal can finally win their first.
Where can I watch the goals? Youtube clips are trolling me.
I think CAF would benefit from having the top teams play each other more, similar to the top tier of the UEFA nations league. The teams aren't tested nearly enough, which is a detriment come the WC.

I think Tapsoba has a claim to being the best CB of the tournament.
Amen . we really need one
Hope Mane is using this tournament to find some form. He's been a bit crap for us recently. Competition for his place from Luis Diaz will help too.
Koulibaly was excellent today I thought (shit overhead kick aside
)Yep he was, despite Senegal's turgidness at times he's been a rock for themKoulibaly was excellent today I thought (shit overhead kick aside
I totally agree with this. I’ve been wishing for something like a Nations’ League from CAF. Hope it happens sometime soon.
Cameroon hit the post! They have to get a goal on early I think.
And then their centre back blocked his own shot with his standing leg
I'm curious to see if he'll end up as the 9 over Jota if Diaz looks great right away. Has Mane gotten a run of games there for Klopp?
Salah must be wrecked the amount of football he's played in the last few years.
Egypt are back to their victory nicking ways I see... Trezeguet goal incoming, minute '87
Dreadful game but to be expected from a team managed by Carlos, it probably will go to the shootouts.
This is so short in quality.
What's the format for this, extra time and pens or straight to pens after the 90?
EDIT: Never mind, commentator has just said extra time
