chire:
Mozambique played the way they played against tunisia because they knew a victory would qualify them for the nations cup.
they were not after doing us a favour,they played their hearts out so they can win and qualify for the nations cup,just like we played our hearts out in order to have the chance of going to the world cup.

& thats all there needs to be said!

Oh my word. . . . only 2mins and egypt have scored - Amr Zaki. wahala dey!

And the CIV have laid down the marker for the rest of Africa - its 3-0 and its a classic 3^rd from a free-kick for the CIV.

The indomitable lions are thru courtesy of a convincing 2-0 win over Morocco in Fes; gabon, poor on the road losing to Togo who qualify for the AFCON in Angola.

cameroon ease into SA'10 as we warm up for the big 1. . . . africa hold your breathe, we're about to be treated with North African passion at its hottest!

burkina faso 1-0 malawi

Oagadougou is rocking!

gabon are surely out of it now. . . . its 1-0 Togo lead - 5mins to go!

the CIV are hell-bent on taking maximum points in their group: its CIV 2-0 Guinea

Cameroon double their lead 2-0: Samuel Eto'o pounces again. . . still 0-0 in Lome.

Surely the Lions are in SA' 10. . . . or no!?

1/2 time

. . . . and the indomitable lions have one foot in SA'10 - the onus is now on the gabonese; with a bit of help from morocco and togo!

still wondering why almost 10mins was played as extra time in the mozambique vs tunisia game; and the kenya vs nigeria game started 5mins later than the other game. . . . . shades of hanky-panky

Things are not looking good for the gabonese. . . . forced change shortly before 1/2 time. Daniel Cousin is substituted.

past 30mins now

its scoreless in Lome - while Cameroon still lead by a lone goal. . . . guess gabon's away from will be their undoing in this one; except something sensational happens - cameroon have not lost in their last 8 games with morocco and its unlikely that run will end here cuz they are swarming all over the north africans.

mukina2:
why is Ruudie talking to himself



My team already qualified tay tay

thats what good football is all about

maybe ur team played against p******sies!

20mins

Cameroon score - Achille Webo. . . . the lions want to insure their qualification without fuss!

15 mins in & no drama yet in Lome or Fes. . . .

the tunisians have only themselves to blame. . . . they came and sat back and only began to attack when they heard nigeria was leading. . . . ironically, it was a sucker punch that did them in; the same tactic they'd wanted to adopt against the mozambique now turned against them - pity!

astonishing scenes in Nairobi / Maputo. . . . . Tunisia sorry, you fought gamely, but its not over until its over!

after the game in abuja, they thought they'd wrapped it up but see how it turns out now. . . . once again, the big winner is african football and kudos to caf - the excitement and tension is a joy to all football fans anywhere!

seems to be a problem with the timing. . . . . the naija game is lagging about 5mins behind the tunisian game - enuf room 4 foul play

it could yet go naija's way.

how are u guys getting the channels?

yousouph:
Is NEPA supplying electricity for the Americans . There is power failure everywhere

yes there is power failure everywhere. . . but the report says flood lights failed and not electricity supply failed.

our own na to drag other people follow we for ground, instead make we dey try improve!

Sauron does have a point. . . . personally, i'm beginning to hate that Nani guy - but CR7 was here, there were times we could'a shot the fella, same with Fletcher and even Ando till he was moved to CM.

Nani just has to take the weight of all the "CR7-comaprisons" off his shoulder and play with the rest of the "team."
Just keep it simple - Simple passes and touches; get involved, use the fancy tricks only where required and grow from there.

i think 1 is gonna drop for 1. . . . if the eagles snatch this WC ticket, then they berra save the fireworks money

larimo:
Well, I guess this power outage can happen anywhere, not only in Nigerian football

"International Football - Beckham's Galaxy reach MLS final

The Los Angeles Galaxy and David Beckham reached the MLS Cup final after a 2-0 extra-time victory over the Houston Dynamo in a game halted twice for floodlight failure."

Flood light failure oh. . . . they didn't say NEPA oh!

All eyes on Cairo. . . . but i sense something quite sensational is going to happen in Maputo, Lome and Fes.

clock is slowly but surely trickling down to the succession of crackers which i'm very sure will be a massive advertisement for football on the continent!

The incentive of an AFCON ticket for the third place teams is probably the best thing to happen to WCQ in africa. . . . its made the race much intensive, testy and challenging. Kudos to CAF and her affiliates for dreaming up such a laudable scheme!

The key games: (*All naija time)

14/11/09 16:30 Lome Togo V Gabon
14/11/09 16:30 Fes Morocco V Cameroon
14/11/09 14:00 Maputo Mozambique V Tunisia
14/11/09 14:00 Nairobi Kenya V Nigeria
14/11/09 14:30 Kigali Rwanda V Zambia
14/11/09 18:30 Cairo Egypt V Algeria

This last game is particularly riveting in that a two-goal margin victory by the pharaohs will ensure that for the first time in African WCQs, there is a play-off match between the two leading contenders. The only people on the world who don't want this, are probably Algerians - African tv sure would need it!

The big game
Egypt-Algeria
Cairo International Stadium, Cairo, Saturday

Algeria have failed to qualify for the last two African Cup of Nations tournaments, which were both won by Egypt, but the tables have turned over this past year. The Desert Foxes lead Group C by three points from their arch-rivals, and have a plus-seven goal difference compared to the Pharaohs’ plus-three.

This means the latter can afford a single-goal defeat and still qualify. However, a two-goal victory for Egypt would result in the teams being tied on goal difference and goals scored, and would duly force a play-off in Sudan on 18 November.

Both sides have injury doubts, with the biggest-name potential absentee Egypt midfielder Hosni Abd Rabou, who picked up a knock to his ankle at the weekend. It was Abd Rabou who was the player of the tournament when Egypt retained their African crown in Ghana last year, and it was his goal away to Zambia last month that maintained their hopes of pipping Algeria to top spot in Group C.

Elsewhere
Tunisia have a two-point lead over Nigeria in Group B and will qualify for a fourth successive FIFA World Cup if they beat Mozambique in Maputo. However, if they slip up, the Super Eagles will finish top if they beat Kenya in Nairobi.

Cameroon have made a remarkable recovery in Group A, flying from bottom to top, and they will qualify for an African-record sixth world finals if they win in Morocco. Gabon, one point back in second, will have to overcome Togo in Lome and hope the Indomitable Lions stumble in Fes.

Group E winners Côte d'Ivoire finish their campaign at home to Guinea, while Group D conquerors Ghana will use Sunday's game at home to Mali to experiment with several players from their recent FIFA U-20 World Cup-winning side.

Twenty-five months after African qualifying for the 19th edition of the FIFA World Cup™ began, its three remaining places alongside Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana will be seized this weekend.

One will go to Cameroon or Gabon, with Tunisia or Nigeria clinching another.
However, the biggest attraction on the concluding matchday will unfold in Cairo, where fierce rivals Egypt and Algeria will collide for a ticket to South Africa 2010. The final ten African preliminaries will also sort out the final field for the forthcoming CAF African Cup of Nations, due to kick off in Angola in January.
