villaajax Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I thought it was every two years? Normally it is but it looks it's also happening this year, then its back to 2 years again in 2015 and 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 theyve decided to go from even numbers to odd so its 2 in 2 years not a great start, 2 average games, one in front of a 30% full stadium hard to judge tournament seeing as most of us say its great if cape verde do well purely on the basis that we dont know where the **** that is...

Ponky Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have a soft spot for Ethiopia and it was great to see them come back from a goal down with ten men against Zambia, especially being at the cup finals for the first time in three decades.

Jimzk5 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Ivory coast v Togo on eurosport atm, its Like watching Sunday league football. Also ruined by mark brights commentery Edited January 22, 2013 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yes the commentary on Eurosport is pretty awful, made worse by the fact that they seem to have turned down the volume of the crowd atmosphere and it sounds like they are commentating from a studio halfway across the world. Which they possibly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Seen a bit the other day on Eurosport and the stadium was empty. I don't know whether this was down to the prices or apathy. I don't think the average African football fan can afford cable television let alone tickets, plane and hotel fare.Come on Cape Verde! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The problem they are going to have is that TV wants full stadiums. You can't hype a tournament played in empty grounds and you will struggle to sell something you can't hype. In the medium term pricing the locals out will affect the value of the TV rights, certainly the overseas rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) What I caught of the Morocco/Cape Verde game between nipping in and out of the room was really good yesterday. Surprisingly entertaining, in fact, end-to-end stuff at times and some half-decent football being played.

hogso Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Crazy scenes in the semi between Burkina Faso and Ghana. BK have just had their best player of the tournament sent off. Second yellow, this one for a dive in the box, during the last couple of mins of extra time. Except it wasn't a dive. It was the most clear foul of a player in the box you will ever see. Gone to pens now. Nigeria won the other semi earlier And yes I am flicking between about 5 matches at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 was possibly the worst shootout ive seen except Bance penalty but hopefully Bukina Faso can win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well done to Burkina Faso, but so gutted for them and Pitroipa in particular. If that ref wasn't on the take......... I dont know. He was SOOO blatantly biased towards Ghana. Blatant penalty for Burkina Faso after about 5 mins not given, Ghana's goal was a really soft penalty. Burkina Faso also had a perfectly good goal disallowed for what?? and then get their best player sent off for being blatantly fouled in the box so he misses the final. Much like Blanc for France someone else's wrongdoing robs him of the chance to appear in the biggest match in the nation's history. No way they'll overturn the red card coz no governing body ever does. The ref shouldn't be allowed near another professional match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 always happy to prove myself wrong................ well about the ban anyway Pitroipa gets to play in ref admits making mistake shocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
