Cameroon did well in their performance, their defence was not bad thought. But I was expecting like 2 goals from them I never believed it will end up in a draws. Nice play from Aboubakar he is a good striker indeed, playing a good role in the team.
In the last match of Group A Africa Cup, Cameroon surprisingly drew with Cape Verde with a score of 1-1, although Cameroon drew, Cameroon still sits in first place in the standings, and Cape Verde is ranked 3rd, in other matches Burkina Fano was also held to a draw. by ethiopia with the same strong score, but the draw obtained by burkina faso was enough to take them to the round of 16, accompanying Cameroon to represent Grub A.

Algeria suffered a surprising loss yesterday against Equatorial Guinea. They will now face Ivory Coast in their last game of the group stage and need to win, otherwise they'll go home. I am surprised by the whole Group E, I expected Algeria and Ivory Coast dominating here, but after 2 supposedly easy games they are only at 4 and 1 points out of 6! But this doesn't need to mean much for the final round. Both can still qualify and can come very far.
After a 35 game unbeaten streak record, Guinea ranked the 144 country by FIFA has finally won Algeria yesterday.
No hope further for them, deserves to go back home for putting up a poor start to the Afcon tournament.
Ivory Coast should end up winning them again.

Today games were supposed to be easy wins for Cameroon and Burkina Faso as both were playing against weaker opponents.Well Cameroon being already qualified maybe didn't play full focus in this game and thus a draw was the result,the problem was for the bettors and most probably a lot of tickets are ruined because of this.Burkina Faso also was supposed to beat what they call the weakest team of the tournament in terms of player quality but they didn't manage to,I think today was a day of surprise results in the African Cup of Nations.
The fact that Cameroon would not play at full strength and that it was dangerous to bet on them was clear even after the second round. Even the odds that the bookmakers offered for this match testified to this. The result of the second match is really amazing - Burkina Faso risked letting Cape Verde go ahead because they could not achieve a victory over an obviously weaker opponent.

I was about to place bets on these games, but then I thought: there can be a lot of draws and surprises, so I gave up placing bets.
result of some games (games are not over yet):
Burkina Faso 1 - 1 Ethiopia
bookmakers were giving Burkina Faso an advantage, this result is really a surprise, but there is still time for Burkina Faso to win the game
Cape Verde 1 - 1 Cameroon
Cape Verde really plays well and is giving Cameroon headaches with this draw, but Cameroon still has time to win the game
It's only 10 minutes left now, it's looking like 2 draws. All the teams (except Ethopia as they will be out) can live with this result. 4 points should be enough to qualify for a 3rd rank team, which would be Cape Verde if it stays as it is.result of some games (games are not over yet):

The big filter for the small teams will then come in the final round. I doubt Cape Verde and Burkina Faso will survive the next round.
The game is over:
Cape Verde 1 - 1 Cameroon

cape verde has a chance of being in second position, I think cape verde can survive in other phases

Cape Verde vs Cameroon
Cameroon looks strong in this year's Africa Cup of Nations. They have won both the matches and they have scored 6 goals. Their forward players are in the form now.

Cape Verde vs Cameroon
Cameroon looks strong in this year's Africa Cup of Nations. They have won both the matches and they have scored 6 goals. Their forward players are in the form now. And maybe in today's match they will be able to continue the winning streak.
The quotes are in favor of Cameroon (1.62 for them to win). I think Cameroon is very motivated to win as they do not want to give up their top position which would probably give them an easy first game in the final round (Even though the 2nd place isn't so bad either as it would place them against the 2nd of Group C, so likely Gabon. Cape Verde will likely not make it with a loss (but this depends on the other groups)Cameroon looks strong in this year's Africa Cup of Nations. They have won both the matches and they have scored 6 goals. Their forward players are in the form now. And maybe in today's match they will be able to continue the winning streak.
If it was an important match for Cameroon then the odds would be much less attractive - I think Cameroon is much stronger than the opponent and should be quoted as 1.3-1.4. The problem is that they have already scored 6 points and it is not known whether they have the motivation to continue to strain in the group stage.

Burkina Faso vs Ethiopis
Burkina Faso may win against Ethiopia. The Ethiopian team performed very poorly. They did not win any of the two matches. And conceded 4 goals against Cameroon in the previous match. Although the Burkina team is not strong, their gameplay is stable. They have a chance to win 1-0.
The quotes are in favor of Burkina Faso (1.55 to win). Ethopia might try to not go out without a fight however. They don't have anything to lose at this point. Burkina Faso will likely go through to the next round even if they don't win today however.Burkina Faso may win against Ethiopia. The Ethiopian team performed very poorly.

If Algeria wins against Ivory Coast then Ivory Coast which for me was one of the big favorites to win the tournament is at high risk of being ranked third,well most likely they will go through as the best third team in case Equatorial Guinea wins the last game against Sierra Leone.Algeria is at high risk also coming from an unexpected loss and a draw against Ivory Coast sends them directly at home and one of the other favorites of the tournament goes away.Really difficult game this last one in this group E.

Senegal on the other hand have looked pretty good collectively. Think they have the best chance of winning the tournament out of the three as long as they can keep Mane performing well.
You must be a Liverpool fans because so far Nigeria has been the most dominant team and well compose in the tournament. While others aren't following and only criticizing the tournament based on online reviews, I am and it has been an interesting one so far. Although the quality isn't as peak as the Euros but there has been some interesting and funny movement that you can look back at and understanding there's room ahead for growth.
The competition and continent as a whole just need support and funding and who knows, football there might be as good as that of the world stage level soon. When I see countries that aren't that passionate of football having the opportunity to host a tournaments that brings football lovers together it gets me wondering of the idea behind that, if it is just money orientated or passion orientated.
If Africa can get more support through hosting tournaments as the world cup and help in building standard stadium then 50% of the problems will be solved as currently that's one of the issue this current competition is facing.
January 16, 2022, 06:21:20 PM
Nigeria has actually impressed me already, they have a good chance to go further than this.
They're going to win there next game, they should work on converting everything, every little chance they have.
Anticipating for the nine points in advance, happy to see the giants of Africa playing this good... But then what's the secret ?
Why are they playing this good ?

They didn't play half the game they played with Egypt against Sudan else, the goals would have come in there numbers. Nigeria 3-1 Sudan is okay but, it could have been morehouse Nigeria have applied more pressure.
It was a fantastic match, though it was what we were expecting before. This is still group stage, the main matches will be towards round of 8 to final but I am expecting Nigeria to continue doing better.Cameroon is really trying, definitely Cameroon is having the highest chance to qualify for the next in their group stage, even some people are making comments that Cameroon can win AFCON.
Cameroon and Nigeria have already qualified for the quarterfinals; Cameroon has shown more commitment and teamwork than any other team, so I won't be astonished if they win the trophy; nevertheless, I will only discuss their chances in the next phase. So far, they haven't faced a top team.If I were you, I wouldn't be so excited about Cameroon, they are not that strong to win the African Nations Championship, I say that because even my country managed to beat Cameroon a few times. so I know that shrimps won't be champions
I was also very surprised. Because I knew the Ivory Coast team as strong. Sierra Leone is a weaker opponent compared t them. Ivory coast drew the match today but they did not play badly. Fortunately for Sierra Leone able to draw this match. Because their second goal was in extra time of the match.
Tunisia won against Mauritania. Tunisia has scored 4 goals in this match. They won 4-0. They could not score even after getting a penalty opportunity in the 90th minute. They had a chance to win 5-0.
Sierra Leone games ended with surprising results twice in fact! They got a draw vs Algeria and now vs Ivory Coast! They will play next against Equatorial Guinea while Ivory Coast will face Algeria, imagine seeing them picking one of the two spots Tunisia won against Mauritania. Tunisia has scored 4 goals in this match. They won 4-0. They could not score even after getting a penalty opportunity in the 90th minute. They had a chance to win 5-0.
Tunisia seems to be pissed of what happened in their first game and took a revenge on Mauritania lol.
ivory coast is also weak for this tournament
