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.)

BBC reporting 6 people killed in crush at game tonight.

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.

gonna have to start invoking the c-word soon

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

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

great malawi goal

Hakimi with the stunning free kick he has been threatening.

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

COME ON MOROCCO

Reader, I buried him (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 30 January 2022 12:57 (two years ago) link

C’mon Onana. I’m not watching Egypt do this again in the final.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 3 February 2022 21:34 (two years ago) link

Aaagh.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 3 February 2022 21:43 (two years ago) link

Horrendous pens

crisp, Thursday, 3 February 2022 21:46 (two years ago) link

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

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 3 February 2022 21:53 (two years ago) link

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

ignore the blue line (or something), Thursday, 3 February 2022 22:12 (two years ago) link

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.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 6 February 2022 20:56 (two years ago) link

Get in sadio lad!!!!

ignore the blue line (or something), Sunday, 6 February 2022 21:46 (two years ago) link

I don’t think anyone fucked about with their run-ups - take note Cameroon!

crisp, Sunday, 6 February 2022 21:53 (two years ago) link
