Re: Probable route for Nigeria
Haba no vex. I found the thread funny. Me too was scratching my head on the combinations and permutations.
And for the record me too would struggle with calculus today.
Enjoy the forum.

Cafonline fixtures shows SE meeting Cameroon in the semis but every other site lists Cameroon on the opposite end. We can only meet them in the finals.
So who is right? Could BBC,Supersports and all reputable others be wrong?

Bros, abeg don't start o. That's how in France 1998 some of us were planning our trip to watch the SE play Brazil, forgetting that we had Denmark in front of us.

Re: Probable route for Nigeria
I noticed this as well.
I even have a CAF attatchment from when the draw was made and it contradicts CAF's current website.
I think CAF has their own tournament wrong. Disgrace.

Re: Probable route for Nigeria
The draw is set. We play the team that loses in the Gambia v. Tunisia match.
If Tunisia win, we play Gambia. If they tie, we play Tunisia.
The scenario we have, per CAF AFCON regulations 75.4 (page 33) is 3rd place teams from groups A,B, C & F will make it to the playoff round.
So, the matchups will be 1A vs. 3C, 1B vs. 3A, 1C vs. 3B and 1D vs. 3F or (Cameroon vs. Comoros, Senegal vs. Cape Verde, Morocco vs. Malawi and Nigeria vs. Tunisia/Gambia).

Re: Probable route for Nigeria
To be clear there is a small chance it might be Mauretania or Mali, if Mali lose their game vs Mauretania. Not likely to happen, but still...Otitokoro wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:50 pm The draw is set. We play the team that loses in the Gambia v. Tunisia match.

If wikipedia has it right, Nigeria has the much easier half: We have Senegal and probably Mali, while the other half has Egypt, Morocco, Cameroon and Cote d'Ivoire.

Re: Probable route for Nigeria
How can we play Tunisia or Gambia on Sunday btw with them having only two days rest? That doesn't seem fair!

Re: Probable route for Nigeria
Watching Gambia v Tunisia and it's not an exciting game
You never realize what you have till you lose it.
Re: Probable route for Nigeria
They should have finished 1st or 2nd in their group if they didn’t want 2 days rest.Undertaker wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 8:16 pm How can we play Tunisia or Gambia on Sunday btw with them having only two days rest? That doesn't seem fair!
Re: Probable route for Nigeria
What is wrong in pointing out mistakes in Cafonline brackets?
I guess I could have worded it differently.

Re: Probable route for Nigeria
Tunisia look dreadful..If we play them like we did Egypt they’ll be blown off the park.
Are you saying that things you do not know, do not exist, just because you do not know that they exist?
