Citeh crushed Flumіnеnsе 4 nil (and did it with a depleted squad)

equals the largest ever FIFA Club World Cup final win (Pep with Barca 12 years ago, who beat Santos 4 nil in 2011)

Jackson on the bench for Senegal right now.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Senegal 1 up within 4 minutes. Mane crazy assist.

 

Hopefully they run the score up so we can see some Jackson.

I think it is Morocco year. Would be surprised if anyone else take it. They have not won it in almost 50 years.

They always tend to choke. It's hard to look past Senegal or them as it stands.

[Gundalf 804]

Drogbas boys are choking hard.

Not just them Cameroon too. So much so that Eto'o called them out and said none of them deserved to play for the national team because they play with no heart.

 

Also the team that just beat Ivory Coast is playing a RB(with club team in spain) as a striker. That is ridiculous.

Nsue has been leading the line for years (an extremely versatile player).

A team with no stars, as their captain put it and the tournament's leading scorer perfectly put it, humbled a side filled with names. That's why you have to love the AFCON.

Just look at what happened to Ghana.

Kudus was subbed off in the 89th minute up 2 goals and his team drew.....

Just look at how Ghana conceded the goal that saw them get knocked out. They're a mess from top to bottom.

Senegal is clearly the best team there IMHO

It's hard to look past them. They have so much depth (Jackson isn't even a starter).

That Striker they have ahead of him. Diallo. Absolutely insane. Even outplaying Mane. 

 

Already has scored against the hosts 10 minutes in.
