Flip Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Sorry, TCD, I know the feeling very well. Another wild shootout involving Cote D'Ivoire. Barry's "injuries" the highlight. I am happy for them, though it is typical of the "golden generation" that they've backed into the title in a slightly ridiculous way. Ghana are the new Nigeria. They come close every single tournament and fail at the final (or semi-fnal) hurdle every single time. It is Ghana we are talking about, so I don't mind, but they surely deserve a trophy. Got to love that Bazza. Absolutely hilarious. He is. Still so typical of football in 2015 (or at least my experience of it) that the diving t*** keeper wins, and worse still, is the hero. Was he diving? What incentive does he have to dive? It made no sense. It was f***ing loony. When he hurt his hand after he saved the Razak penalty was best - presumably to pysche out the next penalty taker - him Was cramps in his legs though wasn't it? He was just holding his hands right?

Beren Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 He had a cramp first, then a hand injury the next time... which they treated with cramp treatment on his legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hurts a bit to see Dede crying like that. One of my favourite players in the world, and a real leader too. Carries his father's name with pride for club and country. Renard is a brilliant manager, btw. Despite getting relegated with Sochuax last year he did well in France and is a magician in Africa. It will never happen, but I would love to see him take over NUFC in the summer, or Nigeria, or both. Also, this is Sammy Kuffour having his hair shaved on South African television because of the loss: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Not much of a bet, it looks like he last had his head shaved about 3 weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atsu looks delighted with that POTT trophy It is a little annoying that the player of the tournament is yet again another one at Chelsea with no hope of making it there besides joining the loan brigade. Memorable finish to an eventful tourney. See you all in Host country TBA in 2017. Yeah, the Libya idea didn't work so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I always thought Atsu was useless but boy when he drives at defenders it is something. He'll never make it at Chelsea obviously but I hope he can become a very useful player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he moves from Chelsea before he gets wing-backed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Is Atsu still on loan at Everton? Didn't really get a game there, which is surprising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good pace, great dribbler, creative, very direct, but lacking consistent quality in the final ball and not particularly intelligent at all. Even their careers are similar as Atsu's miserable time at Everton mirrors Victor's failure at Liverpool. Both players are underachieving at club level, imo. Atsu left Porto too early and will now face a crossroads in his career during the close season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
