Before this thread gets locked, let's take some time out to reflect and evaluate the successes and flaws of this years AFCON hosted by Cameroon. Do you see the just concluded AFCON as a huge improvement from the others we have seen? in what ways to you think the tournament can be made better before it is hosted again for the second time by Ivory Coast in June 2023?
Honestly, this year tournament is this best ever of all . Their is an improvement that is why many people followed it up. The performance of some teams like Nigeria, Egypt, Cameron, Senegal was interesting and it impressive. This drew the attentions of fans to follow up the AFCON tournament to see who the winner will be. |

Ryan is good and young fighter, the last time I watched his fight was the time he fought against Campbell which was very interesting. Ryan's punches is so powerful despite he looks young. Tagoe is an experienced fighter but I doubt if it will be easy for him to defeat Ryan.

I think this first championship Senegal have won. The match was so fun to watch, the both team showed their quality skill in the game. The match was goalless for over 120 minutes, until Senegal scored a goal through a penalty. The chances for Egypt to score was slim in the first half, in the second half there was chances for both teams to win. Nice one to Senegal winning the AFCON.

Real Madrid performance was notvbad during the second half, they performed well, the team have 3 point right now. Marco ascension was the man of the match. He has scored lot of goals in this season. I think he is giving the club the best, so reliable and defensive with good playing strategies.

Cameroon gave a nice surprise to score 3 goals before defeating burkina faso with a penalty. I'm impressed with aboukars performance, he was brought to the game during the second half of the match and he was able to score 2 goals within 3 minutes. When burkina faso were leading with 3 goals I thought that was the end of the game.

Xavi is planning to sign a new deal with Ronald araujo, his contract with Barcelona will be expiring by next year. This is a nice one if Ronald to continue after this contract with Barcelona gets expired.
I think Xavi is Impressed about Ronald performance because he is a good player performing well in Barcelona.

If the allegations are true, it is unfortunate and reported that Greenwood is currently being held for questioning and an investigation is being carried out by Manchester Police to find out the true cause, and will uncover the truth of the case as soon as possible.
and Greenwood will temporarily not return to training or play until further notice and Manchester United does not tolerate violence of any kind.
A lot of news was circulating, but if you look at the video it looks like the woman was seriously injured. If true really cruel Grendwod maybe his ball career could die after this. Is grendwod frustrated that the game at Man United is not maximal? Seeing match a couple of chances in front of goal Grendwod looked selfish, whereas maybe if he passed on a friend then it could have been a goal but he didn't. Grendwood's suspension from the Man United squad is a good move, I think he has to solve his problems. But in some cases it seems like money plays a big role in resolving the deal peacefully. This is a very serious case, matter like this can not easily die off, Manchester United is a club that wouldn't want to hear an issue like this from their players because they don't accept anything violent. This may really affect greenwood because no one knows how long this matter will be settled and when he will be coming back to the club. |

Egypt isn't evolving, they are kind stable and struggling to show their maximum performance while Cameroon gameplay is improving from a game to another without fluctuations.
It will shock you that Egypt will play in the finals and also take the trophy. You may not like their pattern of play and you think they are a struggling side but you have to know that they are playing to instruction to conserve energy. That is what matters. Not what the Nigerian team did by winning all their three group matches and then lost miserably to Tunisia. It can be possible for Egypt to win the trophy, they have what it takes to win a trophy, so it won't be a surprise to me. With the performance of their last match I think Egypt is doing better that when the tournament started. |

Cameroon vs Egypt
Considering the team gameplay of Cameroon and Egypt, there is no doubt that the Cameroon team can be kept ahead. The Cameroon is much more stable and regular than the Egyptians as a team. However, the Egyptian team often shows surprise. Their victory or defeat depends largely on Salah's performance.
Cameroon have been doing well in all their games, but I don't think if it will be easy for them to defeat Egypt. I don't expect Egypt to be easy with Cameroon, they will try all best to see they win against Cameroon. |

Khan is my favourite mam, I would like him to win but the both fighters are though men and it will be very hard for me to predict who the winner will be. The two fighters have good fighting experience, I think this fight will be so entertaining.

I never thought of Equatorial Guinea win against Senegal. Normally Senegal has always have good players that are good and understand football very well, that is why their performances are always outstanding. I see Senegal going far in this AFCON tournament. I am happy Senegal won the match with good scores.

I didn't expect Egypt to beat Morocco today either! But Sallah did his job well!  Without him, of course, Egypt would never have won... The problem Morocco had was using a particular tactics to play the game that was why Egyptėans were able to defeat them. Egypt quickly understood on how to handle the Morocco team and it worked for them. If not Morocco would have won the match. |

Today's Games  Gambia - Cameroon
Burkina Faso - Tunisia First game - The indomitable lions are most likely to win Gambia, but the Cameronian side should not underrate the Gambian side, they've won three of their four games in the tournament, three of which they conceded no goals which shows that their defence can be quite competent. Best bet for this game is "Over 1.5". Second game - Tunisia won Nigeria, Nigeria won Burkina Faso, who will most likely win? difficult to say, but Burkina Faso is my bet for today's game. Cameroon is one of the most favored countries in this tournament Vincent Aboubakar will be the mainstay to destroy the defense supported by Ekambi on the right side Gambia is not a worthy opponent I predict Cameroon can win more than one goal while Gambia is doubtful to score. Cameroon are really good I never thought they will be the leading team in this tournament, I'm very surprised seeing the team doing well in all games. I'm very sure Cameroon will surely defeat Gambia in the game, no need to think about it twice. |

Elche were like they had their revenge on Real Madrid in the La Liga. They were the side to get ahead once again and this time they got a 2-0 advantage. This was even more troubling for Real Madrid but they still managed to turn the game around. However they couldn't score the winning goal and it finished by 2-2. Real Madrid made a simple point loss and this helped Sevilla maintain the point gap with them too. There is still a great rivalry between them for the title but I think that Real Madrid deserve it more for now.
I think elche tried to score 2 goals and to get a draw with real madrid I never thought of it to be like this. Elche performance was not bad , they performed well to have draw the game with real madrid which I thought real madrid will win. |

the problem of Nigeria team is that they feel so relaxed ....
I don't think they were too relaxed, they didn't take advantage of their chances yes, but not that they were too relaxed.This is just football, and even the strongest of teams loose games still. IMO, the Super played the best they could even with the red card in the second half, they were just the unlucky side of the game. Tunisia on the other hand were able to keep their cool throughout the game, and that's good too... but other than that, i am not convinced that they can win this AFCON. Exactly, Nigeria were not just lucky in the game, not that they were loose, Nigeria is a good team that plays very well, their are time when good teams do perform low and it makes them strong and to be well prepare for the next game. |

Chelsea keep showing the world why they are among the top teams in the premier league by showcasing their defensive and offensive approach which is a big confidence booster going forward... It might be too late but this puts pressure on the league leaders to keep winning to keep top spot.
Yes finally Chelsea got the win after 4 games without a win at least this win can motivate Chelsea players to keep competing this win is special because it ends Tottenham's dominance, Tottenham have been playing well lately. Tottenham's defeat also opened up competition in the top 5-7 we know 5th place will get one ticket in UEFA competition Arsenal and West Ham are the rivals. I think since the season Tottenham has being playing well defeating also, the encounter between Tottenham with Chelsea is that i notice that Chelsea have derived another means to deemed it feat to defeat Tottenham by implementing another strategies, their counterpart played very well but Chelsea still defeat with 2:0, that does not mean that Tottenham don't know ball but their drawing board was not authentic like Chelsea that is why Chelsea defeated Normally, Chelsea is a team that have a higher chance of defeating Tottenham so it is not surprising or something you could think is of much luck. Though Tottenham did well in their defense but they didn't score a goal I still appreciate their little effort. |

I'm still surprised what has really happened to Manchester City not to win against Southampton , well that's football for you, winning can not always be on your side. They still did their best in the game.
Seeing Man City 1 goal behind Southampton most of the game was disturbing. They managed to score at the second half and I was expecting another goal honestly but this doesn't happen and 1 point is better than nothing. Their good record was stopped by Southampton today, and they are 6 goals in front of Liverpool assuming they will win their 2 missed games. Yea, you are right the game was tough for Manchester city, Southampton was really prepared for Manchester city that's why it was hard for Manchester city expecially in the first half . Am happy they managed to equalize the score. |

Norwich have been doing really awesome lately. They won their second consecutive game in the Premier League. Last week, they defeated Everton home and today they defeated Watford 3-0 away. These have been really critical wins for Norwich to save themselves from the relegation field. But they have played at least two more games than the three teams below them in the standings. So they shouldn't be very happy for now. But as long as they keep a good form, it is not impossible for them to stay in the league.
Norwich did well in their performance , those 3 goals were so impressive. I like the strategy of their players so coordinated, very good defence both in the first half and the second half, ride on. |

When one can live lost a huge amount of money or give bigger amounts of money with having an effect in his account I think that is enough. Living in a very comfortable life that demands expenses that's enough.

You are very right and I can even observe it right now, January is the toughest month of the year. Money don't flow very well because of lots of budget people need to meet up with. In a case one spent all money in the festival season meeting up January de.ands becomes a serious problem, planning for January is very is very important.
