not for me
 
Does anyone know of any pubs in the Brixton/Herne Hill area which will be showing the semi-finals tomorrow?
 
It's ok. Have found out they're being shown on Freeview.

Ghana - Nigeria is on the red button at 4pm and Algeria - Egypt is on BBC3 at 7.30.
 
so Egypt won and not a comment?

I've a question... why is that Egypt have won 7 ACNs including the last 3, but haven't managed to quality for a world cup since 1990, and have never got out of the Opening stages?

I mean Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal and Ivory Coast have all made it out of the group stages in living memory, and none of them can touch Egypt ACN record.
 
Strange isn't it? I was going to suggest they play best in very hot climes, but then they would it most of their qualifiers too.

They took a while to get going in a really quite crap match, but they deserved it, and it was a brilliant goal.
 
Hmmm, there's at least some method to their madness.

Still a very harsh and unnecessary decision.
 
Aye, it's not quite the mental decision the headlines suggest, but you do still wonder if it could have been handled a little more delicately. It's the letter of the law I suppose, but still...

What a boring final, and frustrating seeing Ghana play so badly. Was a good goal. I think Gedo is the leading scorer in the tournament, but he hasn't started a game.
 
Well aside from the Togo incident, CAN seemed to go quite well. But nobody came! I really don't think any tourists came. Many of the hotels were not finished in time and those that were were not full. The stadiums were empty. Egypt and Algeria even flew their fans in for their match in Benguela. So it was rather a waste of a billion dollars. No one benefited from te construction as the Chinese built the stadiums with no Angolan labour and using Chinese building materials as part of the deal for their oil backed loans.
