Nah, that's not my point. We never seem to do well in "Subsharan Africa" which is why we drop points vs mediocre teams. That's a huge weakness we haven't addressed yet which is why I didn't think we'd win this anyway.

But I didn't expect it to be this bad either.

We did it in Egypt already with conditions on our favor (i.e. no potato pitches, similar weather) :mjlit:

Idk breh…y’all WCQ campaign was played all over SSA and you guys topped a group with B. Faso. They aren’t CIV, but still a very good side. Ball is ball at the end of the day.

Most of the CIV squad play abroad on better pitches as well but playing on worse pitches at AFCON didn’t seem to affect them.

Truth is Algeria just didn’t come to play / some GKs were in outstanding form.

We played them in Morocco since they couldn't play at home. We would probably be eliminated already otherwise :mjlol:

No excuses, we just shyt the bed :yeshrug:

I'm just focusing on the WCQ now and if it ends up in an elimination, might as well start a re-build.

Nah, some games were outside Morocco / South Africa. That I know as a fact, but it’s neither here or there…

Would be nice to see more new blood(I hate that Gambia and Mali are in teh same group, both up and comers)

Tired of seeing Tunisia, Algeria, Ghana, Nigeria

Not tired of Cote D'Ivoire and Senegal though.. or Cameroon even though they're always there

How does Valencia stay avoiding the big boys in the CDR draw?

Last round they missed drawing Bilbao, Betis, Barca, Atletico, Sociedad, Sevilla or Real Madrid and drew the lowest remaining team in the cup.

This round they get bottom dwellers Cadiz and avoid Bilbao, Madrid, Betis, Rayo and La Real.

Amut Los Che!! :blessed:

This is probably where we dip out. Bilbao away with half our starters out because of WCQ :francis:

Never rated copa anyways :hubie:
