Weak shot from Kalaba.

What a miss from Yaya.

Good football though.

Interesting. What's the rationale behind that?

Interesting. What's the rationale behind that?

The Africa Cup of Nations happens every two years. However, with the current schedule of the tournament happening in the same year as the World Cup every time there is a World Cup, they decided that it would be better to move the tournament to odd-numbered years. So, rather than pushing back the next tournament and requiring us to wait three years, they pushed it forward so we'll only be waiting one year.

0-0 HT.

Stupid commentary.

"Brilliant half of true African football. We might not have goals or have seen the football ability that we're used to, but nobody can question the flair and spirit of these courageous young men. My favourite film is Cool Runnings." - Drury.

Or something like that.
