Kicks off today with the clash between Ivory Coast v Guinea Bissua after a 6 month delay because of weather fears in the Ivory Coast. (sound familiar)
Early Tournament Favs are Morocco, Senegal, Ivory Coast & Algeria
Dark Horses are Tunisia & Ghana
Previously this has been a cash cow for under 2.5 goals & and 0-0 traders plus spread betting card buyers, however, most have now caught on and prices reflect the trends.
Is anyone going to bother with this one or is it just a waste of time?
Pele stated an African Nation would win the World Cup before 2000, however, they have regressed since that comment was made and can't see that happening before 2100.
For me, I will do 0-0 in every game but not watch as it's mostly dire stuff.
Good luck to all who tolerate it and put themself through hours of torture in order to get the odd good game.

I will have the odd dabble on o3.5 goals in some matches. They’re usually a decent price at this tournament. Won’t be interested in watching many games though.

Corners for me in this tourney ... and in Asia cup. First match Aussies 14 corners - India 0 corners
|

By:
0-0 a fair bet.

By:
Yeah looked forward to this
 It was a good laugh last time  |

As for Peles comment it might have happened had they not had their best talent stolen by Europe

I quite enjoy the slow nature of it, can get a lot of unders consecutively |

Is there any chance Bissau score ?
|
|
By:
I have watched 4 or 5 games from this over the years, and have yet to see a goal that wasn't a penalty.

how many clubs will spend £millions on players who show up well in the first few weeks of this tournament?
This has recently been a bad guide for assessing potential, too many bang-average players making average players look good. Opening games are usually drab affairs and at over evens, U2.5 appears ok, along with the customary 0-0 @ 16. |

Late kick Off, first 1.01 landed

Probably trying to find the ref who likes to blow up on 80 minutes

so many brown envelopes flying around, took them a while to gather them in.

|
By:
There you go ... 2 minutes in and the defender just boots it out for a corner
|

good finish

The great Pele said that an African team would win the World Cup before the turn of the Century.
He must have meant the end of the 21st Century. |

4 minutes added for about 20 minutes of rolling about the floor.

Intriguing first half
 |
|
By:
Bissau scoring looks like a thousand
|
|
By:
Some p!ss poor stuff I.e. corner at the end of the half but decent goal and good save onto the crossbar.
|
|
By:
BBC are showing 10 games altogether, I think. This one is on BBC 3.
|
|
By:
The refs can be very clownish in these games esp if theres a brown envelope involved
|
|
By:
Thanks SS and Des. Never knew it was on Council telly.
|
|
By:
there have been so many clashes of heads, if it was an EPL game they would still be playing
|
|
By:
How`s your luck these days SS? Good to see your team playing well since getting Nuno. Hope you stay up!
|
|
By:
Watching the Inter game.
|
|
By:
All good mighty cheers
And yes Nuno is a great appointment after Cooper, hes better suited to our scatter gun approach in my opinion |
|
By:
Will make for grim watching as usual ,and about 80% of teams will still be in after the groups which leads to even more negative play .Top 2 and 4 best third places I think go through.
|
|
By:
Yeah the format is awful same with the Euros sadly
|
|
By:
3-0 INTER!
I know they are playing a lesser team but they are playing good football now. |
|
By:
I think they should scrap the Nations League, and the Euros and make World Cups once every 6 or 8 years. Internationals aren't special any more, haven't been for a long time.
|
|
By:
Theyll now expamd the nations league, the Euros and make the World Cup a yearly event then des
 |
|
By:
no doubt and add in more friendlies as well.
 |
|
By:
Absolutely
