The Africa Cup of Nations

[ZENITH R]

This is due to end on 6 February when both the final and 3rd place match will take place.

If Morocco (chair), Senegal (Dieng) and Sierra Leone (Kakay) don't make it that far, I assume the players will return. So, theoretically, we could have all three available for the Peterborough game in the next round and maybe even earlier.

It'd be typical of our luck if those three teams made up three of the last four !
Unlikely though but I hope our lads put on a good showing.

I suspect Senegal and Morocco will make it out of their respective groups,
Sierra Leone on the other hand are a weak side.

They would be, Kakay plays for them.

Seny is playing

Seny is playing

I thought he was going as back-up. Very pleased for him.

I’m just watching Senegal v Zimbabwe. With Dieng in goal for Senegal. Not the best standard of football. Not the best standard of commentating either.

Obviously the B team has been sent out to cover the tournament.

Seny is playing because the first choice keeper (Mendy of Chelscum) has been ruled out with covid.

8 players in the squad currently have covid...

Better than the Sky commentators though ?

Chair only on the bench for Morocco….they must have a bloody good side.

Out of curiosity - does anyone know why Seny keeps getting called "Timothy" Dieng? I've seen it mentioned a few times - even by commentators and wondered if it was a nickname.

[StevenageRanger]

Poor research by commentators. He plays for Exeter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timoth%C3%A9e_Dieng

It is his name.

Now all you need is a big blanket and you have yourself an indoor tent.

Ossie Kakay did the full 90 for Sierra Leone and alongside him one Stephen Caulker. Blimey !
