AFCON 2024

[Silly Hat]

Is there no VAR ? That was a bit naughty assuming we're talking about the elbow off the ball as he ran past

There is VAR. Kessie should have been off for that - he freakin’ elbowed Sanusi on the chops ? And he did it deliberately.

Horrible.

Shambles.

Bit of dire final though.

Very cagey - and the Ivoriens are petrified of losing in front of their President, who spunked $1,000,000,000 of the Treasury’s money on this AFCON!

 

[Silly Hat]

Amazed the Mauritanian ref didn’t give that as a penalty! (given how dodgy he is!!!!).

 

[Silly Hat]

Aurier needs knocking out for being a gobby little ***** and having a stupid beard*

*Thats actually two yellow cards, so he should be off.

Aurier’s beard is infuriating

And so - obviously - he nets the equaliser.

 

[Silly Hat]

?

BTW. Kessie would like you to believe that he is aged 27, not 37 ??

 

[coconino]

1-1

 

[alikat]

And so - obviously - he nets the equaliser.

On balance of play, though, a fully deserved equaliser.

 

[Silly Hat]

Great scenes in the crowd. That’s why African football is so special! Not a coked up piss head giving it w***er hand gestures whilst dressed in a snide Stone Island coat in sight ?

 

[bexleybee]

Flekken’s fault

 

[stevil]

On balance of play, though, a fully deserved equaliser.

Yeah - can't argue with that. Nigeria need to start playing now...

 

[JANORAK]

Nigeria could only get away with poor defending for so long…

 

[JANORAK]

Flekken’s fault

Wrong team. He’d be at the back of the ones in orange….

 

[N5022N122]

what channel is this on?

 

[JANORAK]

BBC3.

[coconino]

Nigeria 1-2 Ivory Coast

 

[Silly Hat]

All over.

2-1, Haller.

A proud moment for all who have been touched by cancer, however in their lives. Haller was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2022 and was cured last year.

 

[coconino]

Frank subbed off

 

[Silly Hat]

Frank off, replaced by Aribo.

 

[SC]

They have totally exposed Nigeria's right hand side for most of the game where Aina has been missing in action.

 

[Super_horns]

Are Ivory Coast going to win after sacking their manager in the group stages!?

 

[Silly Hat]

Are Ivory Coast going to win after sacking their manager in the group stages!?

Or losing 4-0 to mighty Equatorial Guinea in the group stage!

 

[stevil]

?

 

[JANORAK]

Are Ivory Coast going to win after sacking their manager in the group stages!?

Yes!
Nigeria lose a final for a 5th time….

 

[cromerbee]

Awful game tbh. Nigeria looked clueless!

 

[Lozza]

That has to be the worst performance by a team in a final since the Yeovil play off.

 

[bexleybee]

Did you see the size of the moths on the post… Jeez

 

[80s Bee]

Will Gasset get a medal?

 

[Silly Hat]

Great tournament, hopefully a few more real football fans have now been converted to African football. Congratulations Les Elephants and the people of Ivory Coast. ?? So many great games and world class goals in AFCON ‘23. Really enjoyed the whole tournament!

This is the first time I've really paid attention, and I've loved it. Such a wild ride. It was written in the stars for Les Elephants...

Yep - very entertaining! Just think back to how unfavoured teams like Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Namibia and Cape Verde have entertained us over the last month - and consider the abysmal failure of Egypt, Morocco, Ghana, Algeria and Senegal ? I went to AFCON in South Africa in 2013 and I hope some fellow Bees fans are now planning on going to AFCON 2025 in Morocco. I am!!!! ???

 

[80s Bee]

Really enjoyed the tournament. Fantastic to see 2 bees getting so far. And wonderful scenes at the end for the host nation. Next Afcon is next summer, they come around fast!
