I’m just stunned…speechless, how disappointing.

Nigeria scored again. Sorry, Brad. :-(

Goal Cote d’Ivoire, goal Nigeria….this sucks bad. What a horrible day.

You are right Daryl. if things end as they are now then Nigeria will go through on goal difference. The fair play is pretty much out of it now.

20 minutes for a benin or Mali goal…as far as I can tell at this point, Benin seem the more likely to score, as much as it pains me to say it.

That’s similar to the Benin coach explaining why his team lost 4-1 to Cote d’Ivoire:

“You can not compare a Mercedes Benz to a bike.”

Oh, Brad, I’m sorry. Now Mali need to score.

You’re right Daryl, at this point a Benin goal to level the game against Nigeria, or a Mali goal would send Mali through.

I hate to say this, because I like Mali, but this is kind of like watchign thoroughbreds vs. cart ponies.

Everything is falling apart…it’s all up to Benin now, they hold Mali’s hopes.
