How do you figure they should of had a red card for the goalie touching the ball outside the box. Its always a yellow.

RubberKettle · 01-24-13, 11:08 AM

I think if it was an outfield player it would be red, but goalies get yellow for that when the balls not in control of another player.

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-24-13, 11:25 AM

Nope. If you're an outfield player and you touch the ball with your hands on purpose you'll be yellow carded, unless you're stopping the ball on the goal line (red card).
If you're a goalie you could touch it with your hands everywhere in your box but if you do it outside of it you'll get a yellow card. It is red only if you stop a clear scoring chance touching the ball with your hand.

Congo has had the better play vs. Niger and still 0-0.

TCU · 01-24-13, 02:45 PM

Starting to wish I'd just played under on every single game...

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-24-13, 06:51 PM

This is the worst CAF Nations Cup ever seen.

Glada Tartan · 01-24-13, 07:37 PM

Agree.. rugby like joke...

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-25-13, 06:09 AM

If Nigeria won't crush Zambia (which wasn't able to win against Ethiopia, I mean Ethiopia!!! 11v10 for more than an entire half) I think there's something wrong on this tournament.
I won't go big for obvious reasons but @2.29/+129 I can't resist.

yeah and didnt Ethiopia miss a penalty and have 10 men for more than half the game! Anything can happen in these African Nations games, especially when they are 0-0 for so long, all it takes is one error and a team can snatch a winner, but surely Nigera aren't going to lose! Gonna play the -183 A.H.

RubberKettle · 01-25-13, 09:43 AM

Taking a shot at over 2 goals. Thinking Zambia could score first here forcing Nigeria to press.

Metanoia · 01-25-13, 10:02 AM

I'm risking the over 2.5 at 2.62

Vaughany · 01-25-13, 10:12 AM

Nigeria lose the ball everytime they get in to final third

Vaughany · 01-25-13, 10:16 AM

Zambia look a lot more likely to score at momoment

RubberKettle · 01-25-13, 10:19 AM

These games are so frustrating there's little organization everyone just runs.

nyyanks773 · 01-25-13, 10:23 AM

Moral of the AFCON - booting the ball up field 60 yards up field is not an effective way to create scoring chances

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-25-13, 10:25 AM

Yeah. Penalty.

RubberKettle · 01-25-13, 10:26 AM

Jon Obi Mikel useless fuk

nyyanks773 · 01-25-13, 10:26 AM

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-25-13, 10:26 AM

Is this a joke?

An earthquake some km from my house (the fifth above 5.0 in the last 12 months) and these stupid guys fail a penalty???COMEON!

Vaughany · 01-25-13, 10:27 AM

wtf why is Obi Mikel taking penalties! You could tell he was gonna miss, I just said to my workmate he looked shit-scared and was gonna blast it over or wide! Moses should be taking them.

RubberKettle · 01-25-13, 10:28 AM

Musa or Emenike even christ

Vaughany · 01-25-13, 10:31 AM

jeeesssus did u just see tht Musa run off the pitch with it! I know the pitch isnt good but these Nigerian players can control the ball to save their lives!

RubberKettle · 01-25-13, 10:32 AM

I can't keep watching this its too frustrating.

Need a beer or something to drink for every chance these bozo's waste. Could get drunk in 15 minutes.

I remember when on World Cup 2002 they said: African football will be the future of this sport.

Yeah, of course.

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-25-13, 10:41 AM

I'm so frustrated I'm gonna thinking to go all in on correct score 1-1 @7.50

Wait.

Max bet on Bet365 is around 500€.

Vaughany · 01-25-13, 10:47 AM

Nigeria need a kick up the ass at half-time

atofsu32111 · 01-25-13, 10:55 AM

I got under

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-25-13, 11:01 AM

If they don't win this game they seriously risk to not qualify to playoff despite the weakest group of the comp.

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-25-13, 11:09 AM

Did some research.
2012: 3.13 goals/game - 43.75% O 2.5 - 1 match ended 0-0
2010: 2.76 goals/game - 41.38% O 2.5 - 4 matches ended 0-0
2008: 3.09 goals/game - 59.38% O 2.5 - 2 matches ended 0-0
2006: 3.53 goals/game - 40.63% O 2.5 - 5 matches ended 0-0

You're wondering 2013 stats?

1.5 goals/game (!!!)
16.67% Over 2.5 (!!!)
3 matches ended 0-0 with 60% of the tournament still to run!!!

nyyanks773 · 01-25-13, 11:11 AM

Maybe they are just trying to feed their continent with +200 odds

TheSportsAnalyst · 01-25-13, 11:13 AM

Vaughany · 01-25-13, 11:40 AM
