Yeah, I've watched a couple of games and they've both been a bore fest.It’s a shambolic tournament it always is the few minutes I watched the football was dreadful.
Tournament is an embarrassment. Not sure why there have been so many people trying to make a fuss about it in recent weeks in the media.
Shambolic as it may be, it's a huge deal to the fans of the countries who are playing. The fact that teams like Watford think it should be treated like an afterthought is pretty disrespectful. A better standard of tournament in Africa will ultimately improve the standard of the game that we get to watch week in week out as well.

It's pretty disrespectful to write it off as a meaningless tournament. It may be to us, but it's plenty important enough to the people of Africa.
Teams complaining about losing players should take it into consideration when signing players... not sign them and try to guilt them into missing the tournament.
And having been told he'd messed up managed to then mess it up again.We are talking about referees that can't tell the time,
What did Watford do wrong?
i don’t understand why it will improve the domestic game
I think between not releasing Sarr to Senegal (who supposedly wanted to go) and allegedly "baring fangs" over Emmanuel Dennis and Nigeria, it's clear they don't see any obligation to let players go and are willing to play hardball with these African associations. Yes, there are extenuating circumstances etc etc, but I'm not sure they'd do the same if the European Championships or World Cup were held at the same time. I think that's what people have been pointing out recently.
The twenty in the ground today would definitely agree with that.
If they want people to take it seriously then they need to sort themselves out. Every time it's on it is a bit of an embarrassment sadly.
We aren't talking massive logistical issues here. We are talking about referees that can't tell the time, and organisers that can't get national anthems correct.
This is the same guy who had to respond by mocking Roy Keane’s accent on live television; he’s an utter moron.Noticed Ian Wright saying it was racist to have an issue with players going off to feature in this tournament. Guess he missed the complaining at every single international break
Every time someone complains about women being given jobs as pundits you should just point out that Ian Wright has made a career out of it and he can't string a sentence together.
I'm kind of looking forward to the game at seven, in a kind of rubbernecking way...
Comoros now down to 10 men after 5 minutes...this should be interesting.
