Nice, nice, nice, thanks bro. I won’t miss out on those. Who you got for the AFCON final? I’m thinking Senegal should win but with Mo, Egypt always have a chance. That GK has been a real star for them too, saving penalties in both shootouts. Either way, we will have either Sadio or Mo coming back happy, full of confidence & ready for the business end of the season.
I've been betting on Senegal a lot in past years, so their last final loss was tough, and it's something of a misled nostalgia that keeps me betting on them but yes, on basis of performance, Mane's men are a bit better I'd say than the guys behind Salah but you get the sense that Egypt have been playing a solid tune this whole tournament: attrition towards the final.
Last night's pitch was so poor though, heavy and turf flying all over the place, Salah spent half the time being fouled, kicked, and slipping all over -- his team were totally drained playing 120 minutes... while Senegal also have the extra day to rest so are more capable of turning on the afterburners. Pharaoh goalie is a cool cat, yeah, probably has a career in theatre too (that's a professional compliment from me haha).
And YES! A lot of people and my kid were saying wouldn't I prefer them to lose and go home early? But no, these guys operate on a different level. A win would pump them up and they'll take that confidence back to the Prem man.
And you know me... yes City won this but we can't just lie down and let them have it easy can we?
