Senegal v Guinea decent so far. I've seen some actual pressing and some actual attacking intent - all in the opening 10 minutes.

Mané has really fallen off a cliff the last year or so. He looks like his boots are made of lead.
He looks like he's thinking about what to do every time now, whereas before it was natural.
He's always been one of those players where time to think is not a positive, although I think he's often been like that for Senegal where he obviously carries a bigger burden of expectation.
How did Morocco not score there?
The commentator on the second Morocco goal, so sure of himself when it looked (and ended up being) onside.
Yeah I wanted it to be offside but it was clear as day.
Ben Boina didn't deserve it.
Too many goals, disgusting.
Arsenal using fake tests to back out of the derby?
To be the best you gotta copy the best. So funny/pathetic that a Granit Xhaka red card and Saka having the shits is getting a game postponed.
You probably need to at least fake some covid tests to pull that, otherwise the league will probably just say lol you had more cases in August so get on with it.
What were these "weather conditions" that meant they had to stay in Liverpool?
The first leg was shit enough, don't let the 2nd be even worse.
It's all a bit small time. Aren't they meant to be the big time club?
Eze, Edouard and Olise front three for Palace
Good old VAR, 100% wrong with both decisions. Never a penalty [bit of the old Ronaldo burrowing there] and then I don't see how it is a foul by Maupay just because the 'keeper has two hands on the ball. His momentum takes him into Maupay [who is trying to pull out], the game doesn't stop just because two hands are on the ball.
You can’t hit the ball out the keepers hand. He clearly has two on it, not his fault Maupay knees it out.
Aye, but the contact is because they are coming together. Maupay pulls his leg/knee back if anything. I know 'keepers are superprotected, but getting two hands on the ball [whilst in the air] doesn't stop the game and if they lose it subsequently I don't see why it is automatically a foul. Really not the same as having the ball kicked out of your hands but whatever.
Was it Schmeichel who had the ball with one hand on top, while it was on the ground? That was deemed in the keepers control, so if it ever was in his two hands you've no chance on that one.
Ghana SEETHING at failing to beat Gabon.
Sounds like Aubemeyang will be retiring on that Arsenal contract of his.
Although, reading the story, it seems the headline is perhaps a bit misleading.
He's back training so his ticker must be fine.
So Benjamin Tetteh came on in the 91st minute at the full time whistle he punched a Gabon player then ran down the tunnel.
The ref then waited on the pitch demanding that he come out but he would not so ended up holding his red card up and shouting "for number 25" a couple of times.

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed Gabon's Africa Cup of Nations draw with Ghana on Friday after scans revealed 'heart lesions' following a bout of Covid.
His saivd him from the angles. <3
DID HE HAVE THE VACCINE.1

Must've been the vulnerable shade of black.
Utterly pointless playing Lukaku against a decent team
Sounds like our keepers are all out again.
We really need to get a left back in, even a shit one on loan.
Worst pass of the season there from Ziyech.
Grealish and Foden have a weirdly massive seethe on in this game. We've done a good job given that one of our centre backs is on work experience and our left back is on a yellow card and cannot defend at all.
Play the kid from the academy then. I just can't watch this cretin every week. Right down to Kepa's goal kicks aiming for his head and sailing out of play, like we're Egil Olsen's Norway.
At least Kepa has turned into prime Yashin ever since Tuchel came in. He’s brilliant every time he plays these days
Wish there was a 1pm kick off in AFCON today, no one wants all this quality, pressing and tactical discpline.
Such bitter tears. When is that Asia Cup again said no one.
Lukaku couldn’t have made that anymore obvious where he was going
If you're missing the Afcon just do a player cam on Hakim Ziyech.
Sterling has been good, but putting him against Alonso is making him look superhuman.
I don't know when this happened or if his bumbling style just speaks to me, but I learn more about the game from Glenn Hoddle's co-comms than just about any other source.
That free kick given on Grealish. No wonder he wins the ‘most fouled’ award.
Not a lot you can do about that other than try to end his career with a two footer.
That was good stuff from Chelsea. Lukaku starved thanks to attempting to rely on shite like Ziyech, Pulisic, CHO and Werner to create but defensively very sound. Klopp to train attacking moves and Tuchel to train defensive shape would be some scenes.
Arsenal - Spurs game is off. What a joke this has become.
It will come back to bite them later on. Managers are just so short-termist and always desperate for rest right now. Totally transparent what they, Liverpool and other clubs have been up to.
