oldtype Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Disgusting in what way? Us going out after drawing 0-0 with Iraq, which we should have beaten, after they defended and time-wasted the fuck out of us for 120 minutes. Forgive me if I didn't find them that endearing. I hold national team grudges for 10 years minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Be class if Libya won the thing. What a boost to the nation that'd be. Yeah, Libya are the only country in the tournament with a destabilising political situation. Them winning would be a positive boost for all of Africa.

Guest MrSundlofer Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Interesting games today. Ivory Coast vs Sudan. Ivory Coast must win this. No doubt. And they will. Burkina Faso vs Angola. Two good teams. I predict a 2-2 draw. Our transfer target Alain Traoré, from Auxerre plays for Burkina Faso, so does Kaboré from Marseille and speedy Pitroipa from Rennes. And interesting that Burkina Faso has a player from the Chelsea academy, only 16 years old - Bertrand Traore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Nice of the son of the equatorial guinea president to give the team £1m. Good use of resources. with 70% of the population living under the United Nations Poverty Threshold of $2/day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The US and UK have probably spent about 0.5 trillion pounds between themselves blowing up an Asian country with little relevance to the world stage. This is hardly the most egregious waste of resources. Though it is quite shameful that they have a GDP per capita ten times that of a nation like Nigeria, but relatively similar lives for the citizens. Interesting games today. Ivory Coast vs Sudan. Ivory Coast must win this. No doubt. And they will. Burkina Faso vs Angola. Two good teams. I predict a 2-2 draw. Our transfer target Alain Traoré, from Auxerre plays for Burkina Faso, so does Kaboré from Marseille and speedy Pitroipa from Rennes. And interesting that Burkina Faso has a player from the Chelsea academy, only 16 years old - Bertrand Traore. There is always doubt in African football. Sudan are a serious team and they fought to a draw in Ghana during qualifying. There only loss was the reverse fixture. I cannot believe that someone born five years after me is an international footballer, btw. Depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Helicopters move, though. This is a disgrace. Drogba is the only player I can differentiate from the others despite knowing almost all of the Ivorian players. It's is like playing FM 2007 for God's sake.
