He is a good player even in Liverpool but it is Salah who taking more glory than him, he deserves to leave go get a fresh air and get recognition for his labour. At home, mane is very well appreciated among those youths and people

I expect that soon Sadio Mane will have offers from bigger clubs after his victorious outing at the AFCON. I expect that to happen. He has to leave Liverpool FC to become bigger in fame. Back home in Senegal, he is well loved because of the way he sympathises with the lack and poverty of his people. He plans to make life better for them at the risk of living a more luxurious lifestyle like other footballers. That makes his people love him even more.

When it comes to the premier league, Mo Salah will still be better than him at Liverpool, I feel Mane should leave to some other clubs so he can get more recognition. He's a good player but when there's more than one superstar at a particular club usually one gets outplayed and if they try getting into some competitive, the club surfers as the chemistry fails between them for selfish reasons.

He is a good player even in Liverpool but it is Salah who taking more glory than him, he deserves to leave go get a fresh air and get recognition for his labour. At home, mane is very well appreciated among those youths and people but there is a good effort he is doing with Liverpool but yet not have that recognition so if he leaves he can take himself to the top career

@ropyu1978 I agree with your analysis that Egypt would want to extract revenge, and the only way to do it is to dump Senegal from the play off round.

That will be an expected thing to do but we have to know that it is not something that can be done by mere wishing. I also will like Egypt to pull their revenge on Senegal too for denying them the trophy but Egypt has to step up their A-game to be able to do so. After all I tipped them to win the just concluded AFCON. If they do not step up their game, Senegal will again punish them. It is going to be a trilogy sort of. Senegal has won the first round. Let us see what comes out of the second and third rounds now. That is the home and away matches.

Furthermore as I had said before and I’ll repeat again that Salah will have to rise up and make sure Egypt win, because if he doesn’t perform well then it’ll be very difficult for Egypt to win against Senegal.

That means Egypt aren't winning because I don't think he can turn up against Senegal unless he has some personal agenda to avenge their defeat in the AFCON finals. Looking at how Mo Salah played on all the AFCON matches, I think think he can do well in the world cup qualifiers. The keeper of Egypt in the AFCON until the finals was the goal keeper, the rest players including mo Salah were just flat and didn't play as we expected.

Senagal are always the favorite for me in this game, they have more strength and well experienced players than the Egyptian teams. An indepth look at the Senegal team and you'll see players from top clubs in Europe but the Egyptian are full of local talents. Although senagal are favorite, the matches won't be a one sided game as both nation will be playing in their best to get the first advantage as that'll help them in the second leg.

Senegal and Egypt again, that means this time Senegal will go home because Egypt is not suppose to allow Senegal to defeat again from world cup qualifiers, mane and Salah. Over Nigerian and Ghana, both teams are strong enough, but at looking from Africa world performance, Nigeria tried and Nigeria was expectations of people to win the cup, but i can't guarantee Nigeria over Ghana because i believe that Ghana will use the same method Tunisia apply to defeat Nigeria and defeat them for this world qualifiers cup

Two teams who are equally favorites to both walk into the world cup as representatives of Africa must beat each other in the play-off round, according to my prediction this time Egypt has a great chance to advance to the world cup, because Egypt must have learned from yesterday's defeat and will overhauling their pattern of play, with a meeting between the two countries it is certain that one of them will be absent from this year's Qatar world cup.

Nigeria is really in big distress because I don't even see any reason they should be kicked out in round of 16 after playing all those number if matches unbeaten; it's a shame to them and I was thinking they were gonna claim this cup for once but it failed!
Mane has made great impact on the senegalise and even if he's gonna be named after football itself, he deserves it Grin

. Although he lost a penalty that would have ended the game ever since between them, but he also scored a penalty that ended the competition and had them with the cup as the champions, bug congrats

If you really check your records well I believe Nigeria already wins African cup of nation multiple times already so this is not the first time which Nigeria is trying to win. From what happen in this African cup of nation Nigeria real tried because Nigeria was the only country which qualified from the group stage with 9 points, even as they where disqualified from the knock out stage i believe they will do better in the next African cup of nation and also congratulations to Senegal.

Nigeria did a fine play in their matches in the AFCON game . The match which they played with Tunisia which Nigeria loosed maybe the chance of luck for Tunisia to win, that's football which things happens that you don't expect or think how it comes to happen.
Nigeria can always do better even if they were not able to meet up during the tournament.

The game Nigeria played against Tunisia which Nigeria lost, if am asked I think Nigeria players choose to loose in that game on purpose, and their reason I think is politically motivated or related rather.
A day before the match, it was said that the president of the country spoke with the team on phone, what was discussed is unknown to me but after the conversation, it was said that a government official asked why there are no hausa boys among the team, that I believed angered the team and it's part of that motivated their loss against Tunisia.

I might be wrong though.

I don't think the president speaking with the players is the reason why they lose the match, I don't think the president will ask them to lose, but from what I noticed from the match, Nigerians player under estimated the Tunisia players they believed they will definitely win them if you notice it was after Tunisia first scored that was after they where serious and even after collecting red card they still played well but they didn't have the opportunity to score, because Tunisia really blocked thier defense and they wanted to protect thier one goal.

Egypt was lucky to have ended the AFCON in a penalty shoot out and still lost after all. Senegal would defeat Egypt with a clear margin because Egypt lack the squad to hold down senegal not even for a draw Mane would do what didn't have the chance to do against Egypt. Its only Salah i am seeing in Egypt and him alone can't move the team

this is a very strange football rule from the African continent where after completing the qualifying round they have to fight in the play offs with a 2 leg system where each will kill each other to fight for a ticket to the Qatar world cup this year, as shown we know that African star players can't strengthen in the world cup because they have to beat each other first like the match that happened between Senegal vs Egypt, they don't follow the European football rule system anymore where the top of the group can qualify directly without having to go through the play-off round. off first

I don't agree with you please, why will they decide to throw away their chance in history? it doesn't make sense to me, there is no political motivation of any sort.

Not might, you are wrong. "It was said", who said?, anyone can just start a fallacious statement at the comfort of their homes without getting their facts right. Do you remember Sadiq Umar, the Nigerian forward in the AFCON? He is Hausa from Kaduna. Even Ahmed Musa was on the team, so there is no truth to that statement.

Well Senegal and Egypt can't both go to the world cup, one nation will be dropped since they'll be playing against themselves which is very sad as either Mo Salah or Mane won't be playing at the world cup stage. Egypt will be wanting their revenge so this isn't going to be an easy one and probably the most heated match if this qualifiers

Egypt wanting to have their revenge on Senegal will not be enough, they will have to play better and play to win because if it is in their plan again to drag the games to penalty, i don't think it is a good plan, I still think Senegal if they play with same squad that played in the finals should win this.

Nigeria and Ghana game is quite tricky to predict, we all know ghana didn't have a good run in the AFCON and have coaching/technical challenges, they just appointed Otto Addo as interim for the games against Nigeria, he may want to impress. However i still wish the super eagles well.

I predict Cameroon to qualify as well, i would love to see Aboubakar and Ekambi at the world cup battling for top scorers.

" Might change my opinion later in of injury" this one the factors that usually one success when playing gambling particularly sports bet. Injury can change the direction of the entire game that one so much make a good prediction and that has happened to me some time last year I must confess that the effects is so dierstating.

Unfortunately this factor is so important especially in Africa where the attack line is based on 1 player. Salah in Egypt, Mane in Senegal...etc I still remember Cameroon game where it was humiliated by Burkina Faso with 3 goals until Aboubakar entered the game and changed the game completely. In case he was absent, Cameroon participation will be a joke in their home.
Well, this is also available in most nations and local teams. CR7 in Portugal, Lewandowski in Poland and so on. Even if there is good players within the team, the absence of the best one will have an impact.

I'd love to see Tunisia truimp over Mali, they have a good game management and studies opponents very good, I'm looking forward to see them in the world Cup coming up June.
Now I can't just decide who should win between Egypt and Senegal, they have come this far and I think and see Egypt coming fir a revenge, they can still loss at the end of the day, back to back loss it happens in football.

Nigeria should be my favorite off course, yes my country ain't doing that great, but when it comes to qualifications like this, I'm sure certain they'll give it a hundred percent performance.

I have to say they qualification for the World Cup for African teams is a bit weird with their small groups of 4 teams and then they have a K.O. round. Like this it is almost guaranteed that some good teams won't qualify? (as they have to eliminate each other in the K.O. round or lose there because of a bad luck game)
They should convert to the European style with slightly larger groups with a direct qualification of the 1st in the group

Quote from: CryptopreneurBrainboss on February 13, 2022, 02:27:03 AM

Another match to pay attention to is Cameroon vs Algeria. With Cameroon recent form, I think they should be able to defeat Algeria bit they shouldn't underate them as they're the previous AFCON champion for a reason. All the matches are looking intense, maybe African nations can prove something this time around.

Algeria showed a very weak performance at the Africa Cup. I don't think they will stand a chance against Cameroon.

2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)
Tournament

The world cup qualification for African nations will not be an easy one for each of the nations. What happened in AFCON can happen again, leaving everyone speechless of the results gotten.
All the same, am expecting Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon, Tunisia and Egypt to come out strong to represent Africa in the world cup in Qatar 2022

Well Senegal and Egypt can't both go to the world cup, one nation will be dropped since they'll be playing against themselves which is very sad as either Mo Salah or Mane won't be playing at the world cup stage. Egypt will be wanting their revenge so this isn't going to be an easy one and probably the most heated match if this qualifiers than you have the match between Nigeria and Ghana. Both countries are rivals and would be putting in all man power ti win this. Although on paper, Nigerian looks favorite but I won't be surprised if Ghana come out the better team.

Sadio mane is well deserving of any treatment he receives. Bringing the AFCON trophy to Senegal for the first time since the history of AFCON is worth it after losing to Cameroon in 2002. And here they are lifting the trophy after defeating Egypt. Mane is an icon to recon both in the local and international leagues. I just need to see him do some more magic in as he returns to Liverpool

Really mane put smiles to the faces of Senegal, the trophy alone is memorable and remarkable in the history of Senegal, i doubt that the eagles in mane in AFCON will not allow mane to participate well in Liverpool, i bet if he will he do well because of pride of wining African world cup. I think he has return, let us see if the pride will let do ok

Sadio Mane is a great soccer player and more than this he is one of the best human on earth special for his own country men because he is doing some good charities and other things for helping his countrymen in different fields which is really great from this great person. Now authorities have named stadium with his name, it's very small from them because peoples like Sadio Mane is having more impact on their communities.

I am also big fan of this great fan even I mostly never watch his matches but still read some good and great works by this person for this humanity we need sports stars like him for having good impact on all communities without any issue. Senegal this win is also really amazing as they deserve this win after having very good run in this AFCON cup from start to end.

No this is not correct because Nigeria has won the Afcon cup three times, the last one won as the most recent of them is 2013. The highest winners so far is Egypt and 7days. Senegal is now winning the cup for the first time. Congrats to them and mane .

In fact for the sake of information, 14 countries have won the Afcon trophy so far with Senegal as the current champion.
