AFCON 2021

Absolute screamer. Morocco will have to deal with the winner of Ivory Coast vs. Egypt in the next round - a tough one for them.

We need our players back man :joy: This is more important.

Good to see YEN find the net though. Good for his confidence. I hope he stays fit and brings that back for us.

YEN just missed a great chance. Munir El Haddidi is coming on now.

I’m pulling for Morocco, yes we want them back, but we also want them back focused on Sevilla, not what might have happened in Africa.

It was a guided missile !

Some great kits on display Jim, I even like Morocco’s but the Cameroon colours always look good.

Equatorial Guinea through to the quarters as they’ll face Senegal.

Mali out but they’ve had a good campaign in overall and they have a golden chance to qualify to the 2022 WC - they were drawn to Tunisia which makes it a very even tie (to be played by the end of March).

Tough game for Morocco next.

Oh yeah Salah is always a danger but Egypt has some other solid players also. Hopefully Morocco are up for it.

Hakimi has been nasty in this tournament. Also Boufal is making up for Ziyech’s absence, and is one of the other bright spots on the team. After having played in two matches, En-Nesyri got his goal and I think is warmed up enough now to be a threat.

Ziyech is having a blast at Chelsea lately and that could be a response to not being called up for the Morocco NT for AFCON. Halilovic’s reason was that he tricked the NT by faking an injury when they faced Ghana and Burkina Faso (friendlies) in June 2021. Ziyech’s response was that he doesn’t care… lol.

Morocco are surely missing him as he could’ve helped them a lot up front.

The first two semi-finalists are Cameroon and Burkina Faso. Just watched the end of the match between Burkina Faso and Tunisia, the ref blew the whistle for FT 20 seconds before the 4th added minute was over. What’s the matter with refs and their watches in this AFCON?

They got the same watch as De Burgos.

If Morocco wins tomorrow, then they’re coming back the same date regardless of what happens after that.

I can hope for Egypt to win tomorrow so we can have our Moroccans back vs Osasuna, but if Morocco win that I hope they win it all

Munir starts for Morocco along with YEN and Bono. Wouldn’t mind watching this game but it’s not available on my Moviestar provider.

Morocco leading 0-1 with a penalty kick goal from Boufal.

Not the best clearance from Bono. Shoving it up into Salah’s feet. Unfortunate.

It was tactical so he won’t miss Osasuna :stuck_out_tongue:
