MARK MY WORDS

Marked!!!

Don't expect the repeat of 4-3 in the qualifiers as DR Congo will like to play defensively and tactically.


Verdict; DR Congo will not make it easy for the Elephants but the Elephants should Edge this one, and lets see whether they can win something in their fading Golden age generation.

The referee for Tunisia's Africa Cup of Nations last- eight tie has been banned by the Confederation of African Football.

Equatorial Guinea were awarded a controversial penalty in stoppage time and they went on to beat Tunisia 2-1.

Tunisia staff confronted the official, Rajindraparsand Seechurn, after the match and their Football federation has been fined $50,000 (£33,000)

Caf also wants an apology from Tunisia for accusations and bias.
Tunisia have also been ordered to pay for damages for a door and refrigerator in the team's dressing room at Bata stadium.


Mauritian referee Seechurn awarded the penalty in stppoage time after Ali Maaloul was harshly ruled to have fouled Ivan Bolado when Tunisia were leading 1-0 and, after equalising from the spot through Javier Balboa, the host Equatorial Guinea went on to win 2-1 in extra time.
Seechurn has also been removed from Caf's list of elite referees.

''The referees committee noted with regret the poor performance of the referee during the match, including an unacceptable failure to maintain calm and endure proper control of the players during the match'', said a Caf statement.



According to Caf, it was sent two letters by the Tunisian FA following the match, with the second asking for an investigation and suggesting that Caf and its officials ''were questionable and biased against Tunisia in general''.


Unless Tunisia's football federation can provide ''irrefutable evidence to substantiate the accusations'' they need to send a letter of apology by midnight on 5 febuary or face expulsion from the 2017 Africa cup of Nations......

#team use your chances well in other to progress in the tourney!

westham, another difficult away fixture for experimental Van gaal's side.

Yes of course! Because they are not meant to, even when a goal is scored. They watch over the fans to pick troublesome fans or troublemakers, that is why in some advanced countries and leagues it is easy for them to pick whoever threw a coin or bottle.

obongtunji:
This referee has definitely been paid, this is not a penalty in anyway, African Football is just a mess

is it ''acclaimed'' handball or tackle?

uzolexis:

uzolexis:
Tunisia is just missing so many chances. God is on EQG's side

ehen! So them think say this one na group stage where dem go cook draw soup??

This is the first fixture that Chelsea will drop points at home.

So far, this is the only fixture of the week that produced a draw.

Mukina2 no brief analysis?? Like corner, mtn and sergio raamossss!!!

Might be a close game!

Op the time is 6:30pm!

Alright! Two teams undefeated goes head to head, lets see what the knockout stage of the Afcon has.


Verdict;This is the knock out phase of the competition, you must utilize your chances to stay in the competition. Tunisia should edge this one.

Solupeace:
I think it should be Cote D' Ivoire v Ghana

how??

Cote D' Ivoire tops group D with 5 points, mali and guinea second with three points each ( needing a tie breaker)

while Ghana tops group C with 6 points on head to head record over Algeria.


So how??

Cote D'Ivoire v Algeria

Repeat of 2010 intriguing quarter final!
