AFRICAN CUP OF UNDERS

this game has really gripped the nation! Forum has given up!

I think Egypt maybe have better pen takers, although the keeper looks a bit over-excitable. So, who knows?

terrible pen

On Sunday,they should just turn up for the penalty shootout

another bad one, Cameroon are too nervous

shocking pens by Cameroon.

Pathetic penalties

Egypt are sh!te as well but will probably win it because the rest are even worse

even the pens were unders....what a cash cow this tournament is

final tonight ,and tournament end,was looking back at previous finals ,9 out of previous 10 finals there was 1 goal or less ...you have been warned if planning to watch it

On Senegal here and the utter useless penalties continue ffs

Takes a massive run up and then tires to finesse it down the middle... ffs

poor pen, keeper almost dived past it. I got away with one there, 0-0 still on.

has 0 0 written all over it as Senegal look hopeless in front of goal and Egypt look knackered. The penalty was shocking

nil nil written all over Senegal look hopeless in front of goal and Egypt look knackered

I think Senegal might nick it. maybe a goal or two 2nd half.

They need to improve drastically on what they have shown so far mate

I hope they don't, 0-0 suits me down to the ground.

this is a final England could win lol

never going to score collect your money lol

laid off now, could be a 1-0 either way, Senegal a bit more likely than Egypt, I think.

i would have held on, senegal look hopeless in front of goal and egypt look to be paying for penalties

nah, better safe than sorry, been stung too many times in the past with late goals.

Egypt would take pens right now, sure enough.

a bird in the hand as they say.

yes.

that was a chance,

Salah's balance is unreal. it's asking a lot for him to do it all on his own, though.

not even on the red button

showing ski jumping from last night instead

what is the point of showing some matches but not the final?

don't you get BBC 3?

can't get that in ireland

that's online only isn't it?

freeview ch 26 here, need to retune it, I think

i understand them not putting not on BBC 2, but surely the red button would be better with this than recorded ski jumping highlights

ch 23, sorry

i thought BBC3 had been scrapped

i can tune it in manually

now watching

HD too

they relaunched BBC three this week on Freeview, so it's like a new channel. Retune your Freeview, you might get it. This is probably the only thing I'll ever watch on it, tbh. Shyte game, but the opportunity to lump on with real-time pics is too good to resist.

shame you missed all the goalmouth action.

i have sky

not on the planner in ireland, but i can tune it in manually

cant face another 45 mins of this bilge

You would go along away to see a worse quality of football than that .....truly, truly terrible ...... and to think a TV pundit believes the tournament dies not get the respect it deserves.....it does , it truly does.

why isn't Queroz on the pitch talking to the players like the Senegal coach?

i put a bet on teh winner market and now might not be able to lay it off

been suspended for about 5 minutes

yep, the standard is woeful. A lot of time wasted as well, on top of the glacial pace and refs not adding nearly enough time to make up for the many interminable stoppages, means you get well under 80 minutes of actual play (sometimes less than that). but, it's great if you're on unders or 0-0.

They look all the same to me
Is Klopp praying?

what odds it will stay suspended for the whole of extra time?

he was sent off the other day, so, probably banned.

not suspended here, you have to come out of the market and go back in again to get ET

yeah unsuspended now

was suspended for awhile

the outright winner  market

I have this recollection of the old days and blokes in factories hoofing the ball around the car park at dinner time....not sure why this memory has returned at this time ............

one for the cameras.

Tedious

The missed penalty in the 5th minute capped it off, you needed that to go in for it to make it a more open game, he strikes it down the middle at quarter pace and the rest of the game is that sadly

Finals you expect it to be cagey and unders

But when you get an early penalty you pray it goes in because of that alone

So when it’s such a pathetic penalty attempt it winds me up

If your going down the middle at least put the boot laces through it ffs

Egypt have ridden their luck at times in this comp, doing well with penalties. I wonder if their luck will hold again.

I was praying for the keeper to save it, tbh, and he didn't let me down.

reckon Senegal could nick it before pens

I don't mind the poor games, if I'm on the right side of the betting. They could pass it back and fore in the centre circle for 120 minutes, for all I care.

keeper gets there, a bit lucky

120 minutes 0-0, shock

Haven't read any of this thread but congratulations to snowymoon on a very impressive thread header!

no final with more than 1 goal in ten or eleven years.

I'm going with Senegal for the pens. I think the Egypt keeper has been a bit lucky up till now, tbh.

The 6th AFCON final in a row to end 0-0

Egypt keeper has notes on his water bottle.

Yeh Evian

6 0-0s in a row is suspicious ffs

You’d stick a pin in and two would have goals

a bit unlucky there.

keeper saves it, poor pen by Mane

wasn't mane

or whoever that was.

Mane to win it??

another poor one

Mane hasn't been great, but he's got the chance to win it

Sarr

buried it, tbf.

Sure did

that's how to take a pen!

Well done Senegal

Some good pens from Senegal

The last Egypt one is is typical of telegraphing it though, I hate it when they shimmy and stutter the run up like that

Esp with the goalkeeper moving around on his line

can't wait for the next one, which will be played during monsoon season

Thanks Hall green ,but despite the thread heading ,i didnt make any money on the thing my own stupidity .Thanks to everyone for keeping the thread going through all the crap games we had to endure ,roll on Ivory Coast in 2 years time ,bet you all cant wait

Lots of cringeworthy comments coming from the blokes in the bbc 3 studio

Shame Mane couldn't do that after a few minutes.

What price was unders?

I was thinking what price for a dodgy rolex watch from the lucky lucky men in spain tonight..... They'll all be blind drunk

yeah i thought of them too

lots seem to be from Senegal

Yep... and they do like a drink

Yep

Awful penalty after 5 yet buries in that manner to win the shootout

Awful football tournament - on a par with Johnstones paint trophy (or whatever it's called now).

The good news is, it's actually next year - June 2023

Something to look forward to, eh?

And will feature power houses like Eswatini! If they qualify.

yes, june - in the middle of the rainy season

I can remember a cricket World Cup being played in the Caribbean back in 2007 or 2003 can’t remember which... was their rainy season as well ffs

Think a lot of matches were decided on DL it was ridiculous

I’m sure one match had like 12 overs and 7 odd overs played it was comical

Not in the middle of ours. That's more important.

No but we get rain all year round save for one week in June

It’s not good rain either it’s horrible drizzle

As far as I know this ended yesterday but I still have absolutely no idea who won the tournament.

Senegal won sofa.

After a classic final, end to end stuff and plants of goals...

Cheers folks. I finally heard during the week that Senegal won it on penalties after an extremely drab 90 minutes. They spoke about it on some Premier league game I was watching on Tuesday or Wednesday.
