I've no interest in the tournament whatsoever but what I like about it is that it gets under the skin of the likes of Jurgen Klopp that African players he signed f*** off for a month to play in a tournament that he knew all about when he signed the African players that he also knew were African

I’ve just watched the highlights and I think both penalties and the red card are shocking decisions as well, never mind blowing for full time early TWICE! :LOL:

Where's me hammer?
This tournament has been shocking. 15 games, 10 1-0s, 3 0-0s.
It's always been gash..... even the world Cup on that continent was wank. Waste of time, just award the trophy to Egypt and be done with it

Wish we'd drawn Liverpool in the cup rather than Leicester.

Can't remember the last time we played the scousers and our matches always had an edge. They hated us for coming out of nowhere and knocking them off their perch in the late 70s and early 80s.

We were always a thorn in their side. Forest v Spurs, Arsenal, Leeds and Liverpool were always top games in the old 1st division.

Everton, Luton, Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday, Coventry, Ipswich, QPR. I'd love to be playing all these teams regularly in the Premier League.

Might be a huge upset on the cards here.

Algeria, the current holders, have just gone 1-0 down to Equatorial Guinea in the 72nd minute.

That after drawing 0-0 with Sierra Leone in their opening game.

It is a shame there isn't proper crowds in these games.

They are only allowing fully vaccinated people in and only 3% of the population is fully vaccinated.

After watching empty stadiums for a year and a half I just have zero interest watching empty games nowadays. So glad England has held firm in keeping stadiums open.

Ghana crashing out of the tournament as it stands, losing 3-2 to Comoros.

Bachirou having a very tidy game in midfield so far.

Guinea vs the Gambia coming up shortly, featuring a couple of Forest legends no less. Saidy Janko and Modou Barrow, two loanees in recent years, both start for the Gambia.

In other Forest legend related AFCON news, Fouad Bachirou's Comoros are being forced to play against Cameroon tonight despite the squad not having a recognised goalkeeper available for selection.

Bloody hell Modou Barrow, I'd completely forgotten about him

AFCON is very entertaining if you're looking out for obscure/rare Forest players - Ryan Mendes (Cape Verde), Alfa Semedo (Guinea-Bissau), Mohamed Drager (Tunisia), Pele (Guinea-Bissau again).

There could well have been more at the tournament too. Sadly for Tendayi Darikwa, he missed out on tournament football with Zimbabwe, likewise Mustapha Carayol with the Gambia. They did however have the pleasure of playing each other this weekend in League One - Wigan overcoming Gillingham in a five-goal thriller.

Then there's two-time Forest U23s goalkeeper Abdoulaye Diallo of Senegal. In a couple of years, he's gone from keeping FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year Edouard Mendy out of the national team, to breaking in a Forest reserve game, to now being without a club or place in the Senegal squad. Devastating.

The superfans of Soudani and Guedioura on LTLF are no doubt already aware, but sadly both of them failed to get a place in the Algeria squad ahead of Riyad Mahrez or Said Benrahma. Not that they'll be too disappointed, given how defending champions Algeria got smashed in pretty much every game they played at this year's tournament.

Comeros started their match against Cameroon this evening with no recognised goalkeeper in the first 11. Already huge underdogs at 28-1 to win, they then got a player sent off after 6 mins. However, with nearly half an hour on the clock, its still 0-0 :D

Just saw their left back by trade goalie head clear rather than catch the ball.... comedy football
