This is harsh. Bailey was one of the best performers on the pitch today. Pks go to those who are confident of taking it under pressure and there are no guarantees.

Well if any of them win the tournament, it will accentuate the argument that North African teams are simply better when it comes to tournaments in Africa... that's why I'm praying Senegal get their acts together and win this tournament.Odas wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 7:58 pmSo it goes sometimes.

They are generating new talent at a better rate, although same could be said for CIV to an extent.
Egypt have the stability in built in the resource that is their league and the top pro clubs like Ahl Ahly, Zamalek...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Brilliant throughout the war and absolute brainless in the final battle. Eric Bailey. One wonders what intracranial event precipitates such decision making. Credit to the Sandmen, penalties dispatched with aplomb.

Which 'four best teams' do you mean, bro? Two (Algeria and Nigeria) are already gone.

Egypt and Cote d'Ivoire were dead even. But in the PK's it comes down to the GK and simply put... Cote d'Ivoire's keeper is lacking.Odas wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 7:58 pmSo it goes sometimes.

Best teams are Morocco, Cameroon, Senegal (as painful to watch as they are) and Cote d'Ivoire. They also had to fight with Nigeria in the group stage.

Re: [AFCON 2021] Cote d'Ivoire 4 Egypt 5 on PKs. Egypt advances
@Tx, was debating this yesterday. The opposition were adamant the comparative strength of the Egyptian league was not a contributing factor. Couldn’t agree less with this assertion. System. Structure. Identity. While the “others” may be equipped with a collection of superior individuals, as far as synergy be concerned, ‘tis a non-contest. Stability and infrastructure cannot be overlooked in this regard.

After we were sent home, I became a supporter of the 'underdog' teams.

Re: [AFCON 2021] Cote d'Ivoire 4 Egypt 5 on PKs. Egypt advances
One has to commend Carlos Queiroz here, having rightly criticized him earlier.
His adjustments have Egypt playing better with each game.
Like that Zamalek midfielder he has coming from the bench Zizo

I think the Ivorians would have won had Kessie played the full 90. But the Egyptians did have good chances to score too. Overall an excellent football match.

They lost control of the midfield after he was subbed. His replacement was poor and has been poor in every game he has played in this tournament. It just shows how one player can make such a difference.
