Iwobi bringing a touch of Everton to Nigeria’s AFCON campaign, coming on to replace a player on a yellow card and getting a straight red four minutes later. Nigeria, Algeria and Ghana all out now.

Comoros have a defender in goal as all their keepers have COVID.

And down to ten men after five minutes.

these refs are absolutely fucking atrocious

var -> penalty -> var -> red card -> repeat ad nauseam
― imago, Monday, 24 January 2022 19:31 (two years ago) link
The red was harsh but I could see it being given elsewhere. The penalties and cheap yellows adding up to reds have been a huge problem, though. There were two really soft second yellows earlier.
Not sure Comoros going with the guy who’s 5’8” as their stand in keeper was wise.

it's like they don't take force of challenge into account at all. if the bottom of your foot contacts an opponent at any speed, accidentally or otherwise, yer off son

fucking ban slo-mo in var and all
Just rolling back to say come on Super Scorpions! (I've spent a fair bit of time in The Gambia; lovely to see them getting so far.)

Crazy to give a red card for that. Completely accidental.

Let’s see if Senegal can get a shot on target vs nine men, having failed against ten.

actually having seen, the second one's more a red than the first imo, first def fits the 'sole of foot makes contact yer off', second one is wild and reckless goalkeeping, had to go
― imago, Tuesday, 25 January 2022 17:41 (two years ago) link
It’s obviously reckless goalkeeping but isn’t really ‘dangerous play’ and was a genuine attempt to win the ball, imo.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 25 January 2022 17:48 (two years ago) link
it's less a red for the dangerous nature of the collision and more for the 'keeper charges out of box, gets man not ball' thing, which is almost universally a red unless it's out on the wing, which isn't so much the case here

Burkina Faso deservedly through to the semis. Tunisia were really poor.

Yeah, you could have put the mortgage on Moukoudi and N’Jie not scoring just from their run-ups.

It was written in the stars that Mo and Sadio would meet in the final. So why I put that pre-tournament tenner on Morocco I'll never know

If Egypt win this, having scored three goals in six matches, excluding the one in extra time, I will be extremely mad. Greece managed six in 2004.
