Well.... this now its really shocking , how a team like Algeria can be the last in a easy group. A lot of stars for this competittion, really unbelive, sorry for all they put his money with they.

Mahrez.... no words.
As defending champions of the african cup, Algeria have really played quite badly this year, and even they were not able to put up any meaningful resistance against weak teams like Sierra Leone who forced Algeria to draw in their first match in the group stage and even they had to losing to a team like Equatorial Guinea, the one point gain by Algeria forced them to go home early this time.

Yes it means they have performed really poor against team way below their level if we compare the individual players.The big surprise of this group surely is Equatorial Guinea as they are second and already in the direct elimination stages of the tournament.Now things are getting interesting,I would never rate Senegal as the big favorite judging by the odds here,they have two draws and one minimal win against not so strong teams,for me this is a red flag but anyway they got Mane and that is enough for difficult situations.The best team so far for me is Nigeria and then Ivory Coast but Cameroon,Egypt and Senegal are all there.I would bet on Nigeria to win the tournament if I were to bet at this stage of the tournament but I will wait the first elimination stage and see what happens,then I will have a clearer idea on whom to choose as a winner.

Too bad a whole AFCON defending champion couldn't qualify for atleast a round of 16 in this tournament shows how disastrous their performance was in this competition despite playing against some minnows like Equitorial-Guinea and Sierra lone just managed to secure one point and came last on the table, it's understandable losing against Ivory Coast who had a strong squad however struggling against the the two other countries in their group is absolutely unacceptable as a defending champion.

Sierra Leone 0 - 1 Equatorial Guinea is no surprise tho. Eq.Guinea is expected to win and they did it. Sierra Leone were able to get 1 goal from a penalty at the end of the game but they missed it.
Now when it comes to Ivory Coast 3 - 1 Algeria, just wow, how bad Algeria could be in this version of AFCON! The Champions got kicked in the most humiliating way from the Cup! They were out in that game and they deserved to be kicked imo.

You are right. Nigeria has won all their group stage matches. There is no other team that has qualified for the next round by winning all the matches on the group stage. In addition, Nigeria has scored 6 goals in 3 matches and conceded only 1 goal. They are undoubtedly one of the strongest teams in the Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria has a chance to win the title if they can maintain this continuity. Although the African teams are not very strong. They are very weak compared to the European teams.

Thanks to these successful games, Senegal was able to become the favorite, before that Cameroon was the favorite. Egypt, which was the favorite before the start of the tournament, fell back very far:

Senegal 5.30
Cameroon 5.50
Nigeria 5.75
Morocco 6.30
Ivory Coast 8.45
Egypt 11.10

But it will be funny if they win this tournament, personally I won't be surprised as there are a lot of random results.

Guinea-Bissau 0 - 1 Nigeria
nigeria is winning as expected, but as they only scored 1 goal, this competition is being marked by the sad part of not having many goals

Egypt 1 - 0 Sudan
egypt is also winning as expected and unfortunately they are not managing to score more than 1 goal


as teams only need one goal to win the game and we see more cautious football in cup games. Teams have less tolerance for simple mistakes.
Nigeria was my favorite in this tournament and they started well, two wins in group stage. These are easier matches though, the real competition will start after quarter finals.
Algeria is the biggest disappointment in this tournament so far. They couldn't even beat Equatorial Guinea and lost their chance to advance to next round. I don't know why they left Ghezzal out, he was simply faultless and assist leader in Super League last season.

games = 32

goals = 67

I may have made a mistake in the numbers, but it shouldn't be too far from reality

well, in my opinion this situation of few goals (there have been one and another game that has 4 goals and I'm happy with that) is not a good thing, they have failed a lot, the quality of the game is low.

Honestly,  nigeria is the best team since have been watch this AFCON , what interest me about the game is that they play so professional and it has been working for them. What makes feel excited about the match was my prediction that finally ended  with 2-0 and nigeria is now the winner of the group with 9 points.

Nigeria team is qualify to semi finals, even though they would have lose the match between them Guinea-Bissau, they point they hard is already satisfied to next level of the match, but I'm thinking that with the pressure they are using they will win this AFCON, because other countries pattern of ball is difference other teams

If I'm not mistaking, we're the only team that have won our 3 group stages comfortably and has 9 point.
That is true, I was thinking Cameroon would play 3 non lost match also, but drew with Cape Verde, it was Cameroon that was leading by 1 goal in the first half but Garry Rodrigues later scored for Cape Verde in the second half assisted by Kenny Santos which makes the match to end draw.

Suggestion: Is it possible for Cameroon to be on the poll? Their team have played good also.

Yea congrats to Nigeria, however they will have to prove that they are worthy in the final round (where few mistakes can ruin the best run)

Egypt won, but so far is a disappointment for me. I hope they can get better in the next games.

Today we'll see the last games of the group stage:
Group E
Ivory Coast vs Algeria
Sierra Leone vs Equatorial Guinea
For me the most exciting group, mainly because Algeria pretty much messed up so far. Algeria needs a win, so for them it is already an end game. However Ivory Coast is also the strongest opponent in the group, so this task won't be east. Ivory Coast is already qualified though, they might not give 100%
The second game is also interesting. At least one of those two weaker teams will make it to the next round for sure! Sierra Leone is a slight outsider here with 1 point less. They need a win to qualify to the next round. Guinea is safely through with a draw.

Group F
Gambia vs Tunisia
Mali vs Mauretania
Tunisia needs at least a draw and 1 point to make it to the next round. Gambia and Mali are already qualified. Mauretania has practically no chance anymore (unless the win like 4-0)

Nigeria haven't lost any of that matches so far, and are currently unbeaten.

If I'm not mistaking, we're the only team that have won our 3 group stages comfortably and has 9 point. We're also one of the team (if not the best) playing a beautiful and interesting football. So far we have scored an average of two goals making it a total of 6 goals and they're coming from different individuals and not having just one man to depend on. When I think about it, I'm glad our top strikers didn't make it to the tournament.

Eight changes was made to the starting team and yet we came out with the same results. Nobody should play down on the teams Nigerian has played so far. Don't forget there's no same team when it comes to AFCON, you can see the likes of Algeria getting defeated by a team you'll cal small and other underdogs are getting results. Well today is the last day of the group stages, can't wait for the knock out stage to start already.

Egypt 1 - 0 Sudan

egypt is also winning as expected and unfortunately they are not managing to score more than 1 goal
It ended 2 - 0 for Nigeria, W. Troost-Ekong scored the second goal. Egypt ended 1 - 0.



We hope for best as the match continues. Cameroon and Nigeria did good.


Nigeria haven't lost any of that matches so far, and are currently unbeaten. They won Guinea-Bissau with clean sheet despite playing away. Guinea-Bissau tried in resisting Nigeria in the first half, but Sadiq and Trophy-Ekong scored a goal each in the second half, while their host had just 2 shot on target, and couldn't secure any goal. We indeed knew Nigeria was going to win because is obvious that Guinea-Bissau have difficulties in winning their matches.
Egypt ended against Sudan match with a goal. Although, I expected Egypt to score more goals.

A well deserve win for Nigerian team took control of the game from the start to finish against Guinea-Bissua,
-snip-
Egypt also qualified as the runner up in that group, I hope both teams are ready for the round 16 knockout stages.
So far we can tell that the first team in group A, C and D might have a good chance to play finals comparing to Egypt, Senegal and the others.
Waiting for the remaining games to see which teams will advance and in which rank but seeing Algeria getting knocked will be a surprise, they will play tomorrow vs Ivory Coast which will try to remain first to avoid tier 1 teams tho!

Guinea-Bissau    VS    Nigeria
It is easy to guess that Nigeria is the favorite in this match. Because Nigeria is the strongest team in the group D. After winning the previous two matches, they have secured the round of 16. So this match is not important for them. The Guinea-Bissau team doesn't seem weak to me. So my guess is the match is going to be a draw.
Guinea-Bissau is certainly not a push over and seeing that Nigeria has already qualified then this is a good time to try and rest most of its senior players which means a weaker team might be fielded which will give these guys a winning chance.

Egypt    VS    Sudan
Egypt scored 3 points in two matches. If they can draw in today's match, they will be able to ensure round 16. However, the opponent Sudan is a very weak team. My guess is that Egypt will ensure Round 16 by winning this match and Salah will score a goal today.
Easy opponents for sure and they should win comfortably...

A well deserve win for Nigerian team took control of the game from the start to finish against Guinea-Bissua, Moses Simon came on to put up a very good performance by creating the second goal for their captain Ekong to score thus earned 9 points after today's match the first team so far in the competition to win all their 3 matches in a row, I believe this team will go far in this tournament, Egypt also qualified as the runner up in that group, I hope both teams are ready for the round 16 knockout stages.

It seems what you said here got to Umar Sadiq and now,
Umar Sadiq was lucky to get a goal just before he was subbed off, the goal should be enough to vindicate him for an almost disappointing performance from him. Simon is a walking tank for the Super eagles, he is a super talented and hardworking player,  he deserved to get a goal from this game, that second goal perhaps, but he will definitely be one of the tournament's most valuable players and even of more value to the Nigerian side. Three wins in three games, great result for the our coach, Austin Eguavoen and the team.
