Finally got around NOPE.
What a disappointment. 2/10.

Both teams are running on 5% gasoline right now.

Adiwana:
At least they’re back sha. Make Eto’o go find wetin him go give them make them win this match

Told ya that they are still very much in it.

But it is still anyone's game.

@Adiwana
Told you it's not just Africans. This is football, this is why we love it.
We see this every weekend in different leagues and competitions. It's the human factor. It's the beautiful game of football.

hahahaha.
Goal or not?

It's all happening here.

He's only just came on.
Experience in full display.


hmm....that's close. Point for discussion I guess.

But hey it just makes it even more interesting.

Adiwana:
I talk am. 3 shots on target, 3 goals in a World Cup. It’s so frustrating watching African teams make the same mistake all the time

Maybe if their president promise them the latest RR (like the Saudis) it will jinja them.

popizaino:
@FBS

My three points ooo

No lele. All noted.
Table update after MD2

But why is this coach just bringing their highest goal scorer in? Which kind beef be that?

Adiwana:
That has been our biggest problem as a continent. Reason Afcon is filled with a lot of 0-0 and 1-0 games. Nobody takes risks and as soon as you concede, it feels like there’s no way back.


For Cameroon, They’re not utilizing their wingers enough as that’s where they could cause problems. The players are not closing down the Serbian players giving them enough time on the ball. Need to put the ball more wide and close down more balls.

Mbuemo is seeing the ball but that other guy on the other side ain't doing nothing plus Chupo not really in the game.
imo, they need to move the ball quicker and be decisive.


And Mitrovic gets his goal.
Real team goal.

MorataFC:
Yeah, in the spirit of fairness nobody should have more than 2 players.
How can someone have like 4 players, if 3 of those players score or have assists that will him an edge over someone who got only one.

Most is 3 players, no more than that.

airmark:
MOTM.

@Fbs note.

Noted boss.

oliverano:
FBS if a player wins an award at the end of the tournament like golden boot, young player, golden ball, what will be the assigned point?

Also, if a player makes the team of the tournament, will any point be assigned?

Finally, I think the points assigned for the MOTM is quite small. I know it's polling booth but that's the only way those who chose DMs and players who play a bit deeper can gain more points. You know the game is for attackers so there's that. For the last paragraph, I'm not suggesting you make any changes though just saying!

The MOTM is for that reason and its a bonus.
For team of the tournament. Good idea, didn't think of that but might incorporate it.
Let's see how the 2nd round of matches go.

Adiwana:
Cameroon just perfectly summarizes what’s wrong with African football. Be in total control, concede a goal, then mentally collapse.

You can say that again bro but not sure if its applicable to only African football.
That said, Cameroon have to lift their game, they are still very much in it at this stage.

airmark:
Fbs, please deduct 9 points from Donstan's points for this sacrilege.

hahahahahaha.

Mcslize:
Australia was just too weak for France. They defeated my Dear country 4:1. That's so painful.

But it is what it is. France is a strong team right from time immemorial. Brazil is their mate.

lol/
Painful? From now until winter, France suppose beat Australia every day of the week and then some more.
That was kinda expected really.

Their next game is against Tunisia and it's likely going to be physical and aggressive. Both teams must be ready to do battle cos if they lose, then its straight to the airport.

iamoyindamola:
Ebukacute with a sigh of relief
Saying that mofo got nothing on me now

Hopefully this is a better reflection of the points.
No more than 3 players
No deduction for yellow cards (Just no get energy to go through for each player ) but there will be for Red cards. (-2 points)
But if anyone can supply the stats for the cards (yellow or red) then we might include that as well.

For now, lets just keep it simple and enjoy the fun.

Let's see who can spot a star in the making or one who is long overdue to blow on the big stage.
Oliverano still da boss after MD1 with 10 points.

G.A.M.E OVER!

For Qatar obviously

iamoyindamola:
Them just they collect left and right
Netherlands go spell QATAR

hahahahaha.
They did try and got a goal for their efforts.

Ain't no coming back from this one for Qatar I suppose.

Qatar! Finally.
First ever World Cup finals goal!

Wonderful.

What a save! Mendy!!!!

This is actually much better from Qatar. Lacking the accuracy though.

iamoyindamola:
