AFCON 2025

[Frogfish]

OK ET is beyond me. It's 05.30 here. Off to bed. Night all.

 

[Bradley]

It's getting good now. End to end.

 

[Bradley]

Senegalese dude just missed an open net.

Actually, keeper somehow got a hand too it.

 

[Modo]

My main man Mané

 

[Hansern]

Really happy for Sadio. What a guy! What a player!

 

[ibromurph]

Sadio is absolute legend. Saved AFCON tonight from being a farce.

Senegal were cheated out of a goal.

Pen came from an offside that should have been given (but they gave a corner).

 

[binomial]

Congrats Sadio for once again becoming the King of African football.

Got in there just in time to see the Mane shuffle.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Did he miss the pen on purpose??

 

[Modo]

Did he miss the pen on purpose??

Why would the keeper celebrate if that was the case.

 

[Beamrider]

To paraphrase Logan Roy, AFCON, we love you, but you are NOT a serious tournament.

Yep.

Tried to be too smart and got made to look a twat.

 

[Beamrider]

Yep.

Tried to be too smart and got made to look a twat.

Which is what should happen to every knobhead who tries to do a Panenka.

This will almost certainly be the last big moment of Sadio's career (let's face it, no-one will see anything he does in the Saudi Pro League).
Takes moral high ground, wins the trophy.
The man will be remembered as a King.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Why would the keeper celebrate if that was the case.

Because the keeper may not have known.

He didn’t look in any way upset with the mess and just ran back into position.

Props to Sadio
In a league with with etoo and Milla now I think.
What a player ... probably one of my favorite ever to wear red.

Their coach can fuck off. The only mature player on the pitch was Sadio. Apparently the only person who considered the potential consequences of abandoning the game.
Senegal are playing in the world cup in the summer. Why do something to jeopardize that.

 

[Hyena]

Sanctions aren't even the main thing. The penalty hadn't even been taken. The manager almost lost his team the AFCON. Gave it all up like a coward. He needs to be sacked.

 

[Brizzle]

You think Senegal are better than Morocco?

Just checkin’ in

 

[Modo]

Just checkin’ in

Morocco where missing some important players due to injuries. I also don't think Senegal were that much better.

 

[rubans]

Sadio being Sadio, congrats to Senegal.

 

[Hansern]

Senegal were really up against it to be fair.

Saw that they won the fair play award? Lol...

Morocco should be banned for that. Stealing towels and bottles is shithousery. But that crossed a line when they are attacking the back up goal keeper.

I didn't watch, but the AFCON x SCM gods did me a favour here 🤣

Mane doing the Hendo shuffle during the trophy lift.

Legend.
