Seeing as - my favourite - Panutche "Pooch" Camara is in their squad. Thought I'd check out Guinea-Bissau at AFCON.
A nil-nil against Sudan cemented their reputation for not being able to score in matches that they should have won. Just take a look at what happened when they were awarded a late Penalty Kick...!
Really bizarre! Can’t think it could have been deliberate - how could he have imagined nobody would notice? Which would surely mean it could only be an error, either technical or incompetence.
The final was a poor game. I sat through 2 hours of it. Senegal were the deserved winners in the end as at least they tried to play football and attack. Very scrappy game with lots of fouls, very stop start towards the end. Egypt were very negative and intent on stopping Senegal getting in behind them. They have some decent players Senegal, I feel a better coach with a better style of football could make them competitive at a World Cup, although you have to credit their coach for getting the job done in the end. Hopefully they’ll make it to the World Cup at the expense of Egypt again in the qualifying rounds when they meet again. Weird atmosphere at the the game, like the South Africa World Cup in 2010 lots of whistling and humming, but not much chanting.
