AFCON 2021 (2021 is for administrative purpose as it was supposed to be held last year, same as with the EURO 2020 case) starts tonight and the first match is already on, 77th minute so far between Cameroon and Burkina Faso, Cameroon leading 2:1. Next match is between Ethiopa and Cape Verde at 8 PM CET.
My 3 favorites in this tournament are: Morocco (because of our Moroccans), Mali (because of our ex-players Kanoute and Keita) and Senegal (old love from the 2002 World Cup).
I’ll be following the Moroccan team, but I’m not planning on watching any of the games. BeIN is the North American broadcast partner, and they’re coverage/access is terrible.
I read yesterday that Yen tested pos for covid when he joined the group so won’t be playing for the 1st couple of games, also suffering some knee discomfort. Maybe a blessing in disguise
Man it’s good for Morocco but I really wish this competition wasn’t on. It could be responsible for wrecking our title hopes mainly due to Bono. We are at crisis point in the goalkeeping position. Valencia must be licking their lips.
