Africa Cup 2012

Post by PeteC »

Just a quick mention of congratulations to Zambia. Penalty shootout is never a good way to win anything, but it's a win. A happy nation, and a happy result in the memory of the 1993 team that died in the plane crash. Pete :cheers:

Yep, not a great game to be honest but i was glad Zambia won & i think overall, they deserved it.

They were a team of unknowns compared to Ivory Coast & massive underdogs.
Highlights for me was Drogba missing a penalty in normal time :mrgreen: & correctly predicting our own Gervinho would be the villain in the sudden death phase of the shoot out, he looked a bag of nerves :laugh:

One person that should be proud of his performance was the referee, i don't think he got a decision wrong all game. :cheers:

I know what you're saying, but to be fair he did score a good goal in the 1-0 semi final win v Mali.
