Mr.Nice Guy · 21-06-2019 7:37pm

Had a look at the squad lists and there's a lot of talent in this tournament. I like the balance of Senegal and can see them going far. Ivory Coast has some very exciting attacking power, although probably in the toughest group.

Should be interesting. Salah will be looking to get off to a flying start this evening.

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-06-2019 5:50pm

Pleased to see Edouard Mendy starting in goal for Senegal for the Tanzania game. He was one of the best keepers in Ligue 1 with Reims this past season. Sadio Mane suspended but looks like they have a strong spine with Koulibaly, Gueye and Niang up top. Ismaila Sarr had a good campaign with Rennes too.

ERG89 · 23-06-2019 7:23pm

Great second for Senegal, poor Sarr has been kicked often so far & Niang could have had 3 so far but hasn't got 1.

~Rebel~ · 23-06-2019 7:26pm

Fantastic strike, some power in it!

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-06-2019 7:41pm

These Eurosport commentators sure are enjoying themselves.

ERG89 · 30-06-2019 6:49pm

Who called Madagascar getting 7 points & topping a group with Guinea & Nigeria.

ERG89 · 05-07-2019 6:53pm

Benin vs Morocco going to extra time. Ziyech just hit the post with a pen in the 4th minute of injury time.

ERG89 · 05-07-2019 10:10pm

Senegal through after a tepid win vs Uganda. Mane scored and missed a penalty, I can only think it was pity which kept the Uganda keeper on for penalty after he nearly saw red after 3 minutes.
Benin will be there opponents after they knocked out Morocco in quite an upset. They survived a 94th minute penalty miss by Ziyech, a bizarre red card in extra time and won the shootout.

HalloweenJack · 06-07-2019 8:22pm

Benin paying homage to ourselves back in the day. They've made it to the QFs by drawing all their games.

irishguitarlad · 06-07-2019 9:47pm

Shock on, South Africa about to knock out the hosts and multiple winners Egypt.

irishguitarlad · 06-07-2019 9:54pm

South Africa have knocked out Egypt 1-0.

kksaints · 07-07-2019 7:42pm

Madagascar's fairytale continues. They're into the quarter final after beating DR Congo on penalties.

ERG89 · 07-07-2019 8:39pm

From what I've seen so far Algeria look the best team there. They've already beaten Senegal too.
It's not high praise as they look the best of a bad bunch.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-07-2019 6:35pm

Zaha has put Ivory Coast in front against Mali. A little over ten minutes to go. Pepe has been subbed; he's not helping his case for a big move with his performances in this tournament.

HalloweenJack · 08-07-2019 6:38pm

Feel sorry for Mali. I think they've been the better side, just lack the quality to finish things off. I'm surprised how much CIV have struggled to make an impact on this game.

~Rebel~ · 08-07-2019 8:05pm

Just looking through the details and results of today's game, and thought there was some mistake on the report - Adama Traoré was listed as coming on in both the 53rd, and 63rd minutes. Then realised there are in fact two Adama Traoré's in the Mali squad. Hilariously, neither are the Adama Traoré from Wolves, who does in fact also qualify to play for Mali.

We all dream of a team of Traoré's?

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-07-2019 9:32pm

Tunisia take the lead against Ghana with 15 minutes remaining.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-07-2019 9:50pm

Ghana grab an equaliser in stoppage time via an O.G. from the sub Bedoui.

Extra-Time on the way.

GLaDOS · 08-07-2019 9:55pm

Woeful og to concede. Poor header, poor goalkeeping.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-07-2019 10:26pm

Jordan Ayew blows a great chance to win it for Ghana. Wonder how costly that miss will be.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-07-2019 10:32pm

Tunisia changing their keeper right before the shootout starts. Keeper being replaced not happy but at least he hasn't done a Kepa.

jester77 · 08-07-2019 10:37pm

Don't blame him, I would be pretty pissed to play 120 mins, and then not be given the chance to be the hero

citytillidie · 08-07-2019 10:47pm

Quarter-Finals VAR starts from here
Wednesday 10th July
17:00 Senegal V Benin
20:00 Nigeria V South Africa

Thursday 11th July
17:00 Côte d'Ivoire V Algeria
20:00 Madagascar V Tunisia

What a last pen

jester77 · 08-07-2019 10:49pm

Cheeky last Len. Substitution worked in the end.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-07-2019 10:50pm

Shootouts have been cruel to Ghana.

ERG89 · 08-07-2019 11:01pm

Looking like a Senegal vs Algeria final if my layout is correct.

MR NINE · 09-07-2019 1:19pm

Is there any channel showing matches besides eurosport? Or any free legal streams or the likes at all?

~Rebel~ · 10-07-2019 5:42pm

Fairly teribly attendance for Senegal V Benin, vast majority of the stadium (at least of what appears on camera) is just empty.
The music is good enough craic at least though.

0-0

~Rebel~ · 10-07-2019 6:30pm

Great goal from Senegal, a proper burst of class from Idrissa Gueye, drove through Benin with a little one-two, and finished well.

Senegal in good shape for the semi final now I'd say. 1-0.

~Rebel~ · 10-07-2019 6:36pm

VAR rule out another goal, Mane this time, which was a great ball through and finish. Didn't get any proper replays so very hard to tell. From what little they showed of it, it looked like it was only his arm offside... serious lack of replays though. Weird.

Senegal should have ahd another just now too, burst through, and major goalmouth scramble to keep it out. Mane really causing problems now, driving through and getting picked out in space.

HalloweenJack · 10-07-2019 7:06pm

Benin remind me of that Greece team that won the Euros. Very hard to break down and looking to take any lucky chance that falls their way. Won't be sad to see the back of them.

HalloweenJack · 11-07-2019 5:23pm

Algeria 1-0 up against Ivory Coast.

Been a good open game so far. Ivory Coast look a lot better than the other day.

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-07-2019 6:24pm

1-1 now. Kodjia with the goal for Ivory Coast. Algeria with a missed pen to make it 2-0.

ERG89 · 11-07-2019 6:28pm

The outfield players have made move blocks for shots than the goalie for Ivory Coast

ERG89 · 11-07-2019 6:43pm

Selective vision by the ref there

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-07-2019 6:49pm

Thought they might have given that as a pen but pleased they didn't. Would have been soft.

1-1 after 90 minutes. Extra-Time on the way.

Cornet on for Zaha.

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-07-2019 7:38pm

Penalties on the way.

Delort had a chance to win it with a free-kick in the last second but put it wide.

I think Algeria deserve to go through on balance of play but who knows what will happen.

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-07-2019 7:48pm

Bony's pen saved. Advantage Algeria now.

Algeria miss the chance to win it, hitting the post! Ivory Coast with a chance to take it to sudden death.

HalloweenJack · 11-07-2019 7:50pm

That Bounedjah guy is going to give himself a heart attack if he keeps that up.

HalloweenJack · 11-07-2019 7:52pm

What was with that run-up?

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-07-2019 7:53pm

Algeria go through after captain Serey Die hits the post.

Think it's the right outcome.

ERG89 · 11-07-2019 7:55pm

Astonished Bony gets a call up, he looks like he's out of shape the past 3 years.

citytillidie · 11-07-2019 10:03pm

Semi-Finals
Sunday 14th July
18:00 Senegal V Tunisia
20:00 Algeria V Nigeria

ERG89 · 14-07-2019 8:48pm

Algeria 1-0 up through an own goal, this after Senegal got through Tunisia earlier with another own goal. A fitting way to reach the final given the standard of the tournament so far.

ERG89 · 14-07-2019 9:29pm

Penalty Nigeria. Harsh but I'd give it tbh. Arm was too far from his side.

1-1

martyos121 · 14-07-2019 9:53pm

Mahrez, absolutely unbelievable.

Knew he was scoring that as soon as it was given.

ollie1 · 14-07-2019 9:53pm

What a freekick from Mahrez

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-07-2019 9:53pm

Wow, what a moment from Mahrez!
