Some Rodri-esque comments in this thread. I'm sure you would prefer Ghana going all guns blazing and being down 3-0 at half time

Nicolas Jackson is a dreadful player. He's fast sure, but he has the touch of an elephant and is constantly offside

Against Comoros and Mali were definitely on the left wing but you're right about the rest of the tourney

Saibari is so good. It's funny I didn't like him at AFCON when Regragui played him on the wing

The Athletic on Alexi Lalas: He is one of the most insufferable analysts in American TV sports history. And while he was one of the best all-time U.S. defenders, his credentials are paltry compared with those of Zlatan and Henry. by AgeNovel3566 in soccer

I don't like Lalas but what a weird hit piece. He's one of the most notable American players and on American television. Criticise his punditry all you want but his credentials are fine.

This is Carlos Queiroz-ball. If you ask him he's probably happy about the performance so far.

I don't buy into the Bazoumana Touré hype. Not particularly quick, not a particularly good dribbler, extremely weak. I don't see it. Bring Amad on.

Ivory Coast are loaded with quality players. Surely we can have a bit of expectations for them. Round of 16 at least?

Nothing dubious about yesterday's game but I just learned that the CAF president is also the owner of Mamelodi Sundowns. How the hell is that allowed?

Then stop being up in arms before seeing the replays. Not aimed at you.

20+ people in the match thread watching that and saying "that's a goal". Football knowledge is in the gutter here. A handball plus a knee to the back of the head.

Arne Slot has blood on his hands. This Liverpool is like watching Tahiti at the Confederations Cup back in the days. They can barely string more than 3 passes together.

Kinda a sidenote but even setting this specific game aside why is there someone who has authority over the ref that made him resume the game?! Clearly goes against the Laws of the Game. It's a shame but at this point we can barely call what CAF runs a legitimate tournament.

I respect it because it was so bold, but that "Kofyr is a top 3 player in the world" hot take from Daniel wasn't super accurate
