Ivory Coast 1 Algeria 0

Maxwel on the bench

Looks like he might be away a while longer, good for IC, not so good for Burnley.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 4:35 pm

He’s benched a lot. I wonder if he might be wishing he was facing Arsenal on Sunday?

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 4:37 pm

At least on the bench the worst injury he can pick up is a splinter in his gluteus maximus

2-0 Cote D'Ivoire

IC look an impressive team.

Champions going out in the group stage by the looks of it

With all their PL stars I should think they do, definitely one of the main contenders to lift the trophy, the only problem with that from BFC'S POV is that mean Max is more likely to miss further games, however at least he'll be missing games that we weren't likely to win anyway even with him available, as long as he comes back injury free and firing that's all we can ask for, and if IC should happen to go all the way hopefully his confidence will start rubbing off on the rest of the squad.

I'm sure that most of you know that it's live on BBC i player? No need for a streaming site.
Now 3-0

this guy is one of the worst refs I've ever seen

You see some penalty decisions and it makes you want to pack it all in.

Algeria won't be the Champions of Africa but they could win the World title for play acting.

He has a bit of a reputation that he wants to be centre of attention, that's for sure.

Never a penalty and justice was served.

I've genuinely no idea who he is, i'm guessing he's a postman who wandered into the stadium and they thought they'd give him a job for the afternoon

Nah, there's a few teams in the PL that could beat them, notably Arsenal. Just watch on Saturday.

Three subs on for I. C. but no Cornet.

Kessie is an absolute beast in midfield, no wonder Spurs are after him

4-1

4-1 but surely miles offside?

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 5:54 pm

That's different. Goal struck off after final whistle.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 5:55 pm

They can keep Cornet on the bench for me. Safer that way. Just let him on in the final to score the winner...perfect result.

Has Cornet seen any game time in the competition, not been following until today.

I thought it was offside before he even scored. No idea what the lino was being paid for.

Wonder who decided to strike it off? It can't have been the ref, as he restarted the game as though a goal had been scored.

Liverpool keeper wearing a referees outfit?

Funny team Arsenal. Looked good for first 10 mins. but have looked clueless ever since.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 9:23 pm

What a signing Jota was for Liverpool.

chekhov · Post by **chekhov** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 9:23 pm

0-2. Arsenal - inept.

Alexander Arnold is a joke. Unreal.

They’ve been excellent lately to be fair. Were very good against City, unlucky to lose.

Watched the two Spanish cup ties.
RM won at Elche AET, with 10 men, coming from behind to win 1-2.
Athletic Club and Barca just gone into ET after Barca equalised 2 mins into added time.
Two cracking games.

Do the Arsenal players get a bonus for red cards, it's crazy how many they collect. And to get a man sent off in both legs is some feat even by their standards.

Thanks Vagas and Gawthorpe for last nights info.
