⚽ CAF AFCON CAMEROON 2022 PREDICTIONS, ODDS, NEWS. ( Group stage) ⚽

[Vishnu.Reang]

I don't want to deviate from the topic, but the fact that South Africa failed to qualify for the main tournament is very disturbing. They used to be one of the strongest sides in Africa (at one time they had a world ranking of 16 as per FIFA). Is this a sign of South Africa losing significance in global sports? Because in cricket also they are going down. They won the 2019 Rugby world cup, so don't want to comment about it.

<snip> Is this a sign of South Africa losing significance in global sports? Because in cricket also they are going down. They won the 2019 Rugby world cup, so don't want to comment about it.

I can't see this reducing the South Africa team, this can happen to anyone on the tournament, the last African Cup was not as good to our team Nigeria as the 2021 has done to SA side. Even those who made it into the tournament aren't good as the SA side sincerely but the god of soccer helped some. So, let cheers the SA side up for what they are good at currently.

Angola 2 vs 0 Gabon
Burkina Faso 1 vs 0 South Sudan
D.R. Congo 1 vs 0 Gambia
Egypt 4 vs 0 Comoros
Togo 1 vs 2 Kenya

The results above are from Group B, D and G and so far it means that Egypt and ofcourse Comoros have qualified from the group stage; and they are joined by Burkina Faso, Gambia and Gabon.

Today's result looks good. I'm particularly glad to see Egypt win so strongly. Liverpool's Mo Salah even got a brace from the game.

Zambia's game has already ended. They won 2-0 against Zimbabwe so they should be up in second place with 6 points, next to group leaders, Algeria.  I think all games have ended for today. Algeria demolished Botswana by 5 goals to nil. Botswana on the other hand was just unfortunate against  dominant team like Algeria.


I'm not an Afcon fan of the year but I'd try to stay updated for as much as possible. Thanks for putting this one together, igehhh.

Completed Groups SoFar......

[Sithara007]

These are chances for teams who are yet to qualify:

Group E: Morocco already qualified. Fight between Mauritania and Burundi for the second slot
Group F: Cameroon already qualified. Fight between Cape Verde and Rwanda for the second slot
Group I: Senegal already qualified. Fight between Guinea-Bissau and Congo for the second slot
Group K: Ivory Coast already qualified. Fight between Ethiopia and Madagascar for the second slot
Group L: Nigeria already qualified. Fight between Benin and Sierra Leone for the second slot

[Igebotz]

Group L: Nigeria already qualified. Fight between Benin and Sierra Leone for the second slot

This is the only match I want to watch it's going to be a die-hard match for the both nations, Sierra Leone President is not messing around this time he promised  $20k for each players if they win against Benin Republic today. Sadly but I think Benin deserve to qualify and I'm backing them to.

[Slow death]

Mozambique - Cabo Verde

 

definitely that moment in life when we stopped to look in the sky and realized a great emptiness, my country's team (Mozambique) Is a great emptiness. we have already changed many coaches, a lot has changed, but there is one thing that has never been able to change: take away the crap from the politicians of the government party managing football, today I will watch one more defeat, it will be years just watching defeats.

interestingly the odds are very balanced, I wonder if these odds-maker are aware that my country's team is a team without hope, is a team that has failed and has no chance of winning today

I will take this chance to earn money by betting on Cabo Verde

This is really sad mate! do you feel the government are responsible for the failure of your national team to make it on the international/local level? Don't you think the grassroots isn't good enough? There are bad governments all over African soil but that has nothing to do with the performance of the national team in my own opinion. Take a look at Cameroon a country almost in civil war, take a look at Nigeria battling with corrupt politicians I think your country should focus more on the grassroots.

Good pick but your country still have a chance

I think the benin team will quallify they are the strongest side they lost only to nigeria that we know are strong and plus lesotho need a 2 0 win to pass to the next round because of the head to head matches and it will be difficult for them to not conceid goals in this game.

Its sad actually to see these kind of things in african football a lot of corruption and not only on mozimbique but also on other countries as well football has became politic and it is a waste we posses a lot of players with potential as we've seen a lot of legendry players were from africa.

[gabbie2010]

Super eagle of Nigeria confortably won their match 3-0 against Lesotho, a good game by our darling team dominating and taking possessions throughout the match and Iam happy to watch the fans adding glamour with their melodious music in the stadium,  although the pitch was bad disallowing free flowing passes of our players, Onuacho goal was a masterclass  this guy is a good striker, while the midfield trio of ndidi, etebo and Nwobi did well, I also enjoyed the sparking form of this No 10 shirt enyimba player anayo Iwuala when he came for chukwueze, I believe the super eagle are back on track waiting for the commencement of Qatar 2022 qualifier.

Edit: The biggest upset in today's matches was averted in the match between Senegal and lowly rated Eswatini with Senegalese equalizing in 96 minutes extra time.

Group E: Morocco already qualified. Fight between Mauritania and Burundi for the second slot
Group F: Cameroon already qualified. Fight between Cape Verde and Rwanda for the second slot
Group I: Senegal already qualified. Fight between Guinea-Bissau and Congo for the second slot
Group K: Ivory Coast already qualified. Fight between Ethiopia and Madagascar for the second slot
Group L: Nigeria already qualified. Fight between Benin and Sierra Leone for the second slot

I just want to give a proper result to the details above

Group F: Cape Verde with a win away at Mozambique has earned their position in the cup of African Nations too
Group I: Guinea-Bissau with a 3 nil over Congo also qualify
Group K: Ethiopia got the second position from the group thanks to a Madagascar draw and proceed to the cup of African Nations
Group L: Benin tie has been postponed until a later date.

Sierra Leon vs Benin

There was a covid19 test results controversy between the two countries, the covid19 results presented to the Benin republic on their arrival claimed that 5 players of Benin republic tested positive to covid19 including their Captain. A result declared as false by the Benin republic FA.
According to their coach

We did our own tests 72 hours before the match—as planned,” he added. “After the time of the trip, we were tested again in Sierra Leone, and five positive results…the captain, and players from Ligue 1 and Ligue 2.”

This is disgusting it's show the incompetent of CAF and how backward the African football is. I thought general test was conducted on these players by CAF before the round 5 and 6 of the qualifiers. I think the Sierra leon were trying to manipulate their way through, it's unrealistic how 5 key players from Benin suddenly developed Covid19.

Frankly speaking this is a big disgrace to CAF becasue they should have put all necessary machines in place before they embark on this journey. In my second thought: nothing is impossible when financial rewards are involve in Africa, maybe the script was written and played as usual in Africa politics; what a shame to my face. Why not allow them play and later award penalty to the Benin to win as the script was drafted to frustrate the Sierra Leone...our shame dey shame me!.

According to their coach 

This incompetence by CAF is very disgraceful to say the bare minimum; CAF was supposed to spearhead the covid test and results by spreading out teams to monitor this in every country; such that only approved results by CAF Covid officials would allowed the tie to be played. Well the deed is done; and a CAF Statement addressing the issue and punishing the offenders would be appropriate.
