Ah the vuvuzelas are back. Good that SA are getting to use their stadiums again.

Verde are looking the better side in the first half hour!

Cape Verde just nick all of Portugals players anyway, they're pretty decent.

The stadium yesterday was Kaizer Chiefs home stadium. It was simply called a different name during the world cup.

I wasnt trying to imply that they were never used. I was actually saying its great their nice stadiums are getting a good use on an international stage. I doubt the chiefs are packing it to the rafters every week anyway!

Ha! What an ignorant comment. So they play Portugese players of Cape Verdan descent. What fúcking cheaters they are. Nani was born in Cape Verde. Are Portugal nicking him for their team.

So Ireland nick British players like Ciaran Clark, Kieran Westwoord, etc.

I had a look at the Cape Verdean squad and five of their players were born overseas, four in Portugal and one in the Netherlands.

The Irish 2012 squad had eight players born overseas and that would have been nine had James McCarthy been available.

Who's doing the nicking now?

dreamers75

Cape Verde players have some awesome names.

RandolphEsq

Such dire shooting, this is awful!

France are the same playing players from the Carribbean and the Pacific who really should be playing for their home nations and if you look at Surinams footballers who dont play fo Surinam its shocking

Professional Griefer

Thats awful from Gyan. Dear god.

Mars Bar

Absolutely shocking.

Mars Bar

Great goal for Ghana!

Oat23

Very good performance from the Congolese to claw their way back from 2 down.

FT looks like it will be 2-2

dfx-

The Niger keeper is very dodgy in the air..

ConorCBS

Just watching the Zambia vs. Ethiopia match and the pitch is absolutely terrible. The ball is bobbling all over the place.

Francie Barrett

Zambia match was comedy gold. In the first half, the Ethiopia 'keeper took down a Zambia player outside the box but stayed on the ground "injured" for a good 5 minutes. Zambia knowing that he was going to get sent off, tried to sub the player off before the ref could produce a red card. Ref produced the red as the 'keeper was then stretchered off. After play being stopped for 5 minutes, the fourth official put a board up with 3 minutes injury time!

markie29

Burkino Faso scored an equalising goal in the last seconds of the game against Nigeria...great result for them

RandolphEsq

Another suspicious draw.

So Derry is overseas now is it? You should just stop, seriously.

Caveman1

Its been very disappointing so far IMO, the pitches are terrible which isn't helping.

Hopefully we'll see a few goals in the Ivory Coast game.

Technically it is yes.

Can you name a single player from either region who has recently played for France rather another FIFA member country?

Caveman1

Kolo Toure & Adeboyer both carring their domestic form into this competition, both rubbish.

Adeboyer really should of put Togo ahead there.

markie29

Yaya Toure makes it 1-0 to ivory coast....Togo should be winning,Adebayor should have scored.

also has Zorkora got Maestro as his name on his shirt?

Mars Bar

African teams don't believe in counter attacking at pace.

ASOT

1-1 now togo just scored. Standard in this is terrible.

Caveman1

Gervinho with a great finish there, looks like the Ivory Coast have it won now

RandolphEsq

No one has anything to say for the first 90 minutes of the Tunisia/Algeria match. A nil all draw surprise surprise. I want those 90 minutes back.

EDIT: Commentator's curse! What a goal! lol!

Off the top of my head Thuram is from Ghana (yes i know its not from either region but he isnt French). There have been a good few players from Guadeloupe who play for France but not for their home nation like Thuram. Guadeloupe is wierd in the sense that it is a member of the North and Central American Confederation but he chooses not to turn out in their tournaments.
I suppose Karemembeu (Sp) is another?
And that was the point of the poster first world nations take and third world nations lose and its the same in Football.

We even see it here in the LOI.

Desailly, Vieira, Thuram, Mandanda, Evra, Yanga-Mbiwa, Rio Mavuba all off the top of my head.

These guys are mostly African in origin, which wasn't the question.

All of them were born in Africa or the Caribeen so would have had a passport.

They obviously then declined to play for that country and to play for France instead.

Then that's fair enough, I thought the question reffered to African players.

RandolphEsq

lol the post just became dislodged!

RandolphEsq

Hahaha the ref is obviously a genius; the post broke 3/4 minutes before the end of the game. 4 minutes after the play resumed the 4th official signalled for 13 injury time minutes!

Professional Griefer

Who are the favourites to win?

I got Niger and Ghana in a thing with my friends.

ArmaniJeanss

Lol, so if there had been a delay of an hour the referee would have signalled 60 minutes added time? What a genius.

Hammer Archer

Some drama today.
Each team in the group has been set to go through as the games have been going on. When it was 1-1 in each game, Cape Verde were actually set to go through by virtue of having less bookings than Morocco. Now, South Africa will go through as group winners with Cape Verde going through in second place.

ASOT

This is hilarious, Ethiopia sprayed new numbers onto their keepers jersey after their first choice keeper getting sent off.

Professional Griefer

Was that a bad passes stat?
