African Cup Of Nations

[Sandafc]

Terrible pen miss from drogba during the 90..

into Injury time in ET.

 

Is Chris Katongo the Zambian captain the guy we were supposed to be signing years ago??

 

Now for pens...

[Liam]

Zambia win 8-7 on pens.

 

Gervinhos pen in the shoot-out was horrible!

[Sandafc]

Wow that was tense 8 - 7 Zambia..

[Dynamo]

That will have cost a lot of people a lot of money!

 

Don't really care about African Cup but pleased Zambia won it, was reading about their 1993 plane crash earlier.

[OddJob]

Brilliant stuff

 

I remember the tragic crash when it happened too. That Zambian team almost qualified for the '94 World Cup.

Yes, he is.

[vanderark14]

that was a very dramatic shoot out. all 5 pens scored then both teams missing, the keeper saves but a retake is ordered.............. on top of that the Zambians were all on the knees singing or praying.

[Bluto10]

i quite like the a.c.n.

 

the football can be good to watch but often there is a distinct lack of organisation and professionalism from the teams.

 

and the keepers/defending. always good for a laugh.

The standard of football is atrocious but it's always a good laugh watching it as they perform black magic rituals and stuff before the game.

 

Half of them dinna even ken the rules but they get wired in anyway.

That's fair enough, but keep the Wick Academy chat to the Highland League thread, cheers.

Aye, Always seem to get a keeper doing Langfieldesque fuck ups.

 

At least this year, they standard of stadia will be good in South Africa.

They run up and boot the ball at free-kicks before the ref blows his whistle!

 

Like, duh!

 

They dinna bother with offside and stuff, they've enough trouble with the basics.

Saying that,

 

The likes of Cape Verde, LIbya, Central African Republic, Gabon, Tunisia, Zambia, Egypt, Ghana. Mali, Algeria and Ivory Coast are all currently ranked higher than Scotland in the FIFA rankings.

That's because they've tanned each other and played rakes of friendlies and stuff, not because they're better than us.

 

Forget tactics with these lads, the best you can hope for is organised chaos once they cross the white line.
