the african cup of nation is always disappoiningly boring, with team canceling each other out

 

I hope one of the arab nations win it this time again

[Stevie H]

I'm going

i heard. jammy get.

 

how about that match ball though? think it's f***ing hideous and will probably be camouflaged against the cameroon kit.

I'm looking forward to the tinly veiled racism from the commentators.

There's bought to be a drinking game in there somewhere.

 

Commentator mentions "naive defending" = 2 fingers

 

Etc...

I shall post as many "just back from the match" Big Wayne-style reports as I can...

If they are truly to be Big Wayne reports...

 

Just got back from the match and I've got to say Nigeria were s***. What the f*** is the manager doing playing Obi Mikel there? He needs to be at least 10 yards further forward. And where were the substitutions? Too f***ing late as usual.

 

I know I'll be slated for this but he's going to cost Nigeria the best chance we've had of winning the African Nations Cup for years, and it'll all be down to you Vogts

That example you used there would have you drinking about 18 pints a game

[nvdm]

I wouldn't go to Ghana if you paid me.

[D.Boon]

The defending is a bit s*** though isn't it?

[Stevie H]

'a lot of energy if little technique to their game' = 2 fingers.

eh? what's wrong with ghana??

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

"raw attributes"

"strength and speed"

"the sheer enjoyment of the game"

[Kahnee]

"Colourful characters" = a pint and a shot, downed in one

"they might look good now, but they wouldn't fancy a cold February night in Middlesboro"

The entire region is a basket case - "The armpit of Africa" as it's known.

 

To be fair, Ghana's probably the best out of a horrible collection of holiday destinations up there.
