Baba Yaga Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 43 minutes ago, PHILINFRANCE said: Reports coming through that there has been a military coup in Burkina Faso. I wonder how that will affect their team's morale. Looking at their history seems like they have had a few of these over the years so I would expect them to be relatively calm at this stage (might be completely wrong). From a selfish point of view it would be good to see Bertrand Traore really fired up for their next game, looked quality when Villa beat us in the league cup last season.

Northern Red Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The goal he scored was an illustration of what he's good at, playing on the shoulder of the defence and slotting the finish. Actually not dissimilar to the two that we scored yesterday. As opposed to the way we mostly used him which was to launch it in the air in his general direction and expect him to do something with it. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Senegal rightly won in the end but Equatorial Guinea did themselves proud, especially for a predominantly young team. Saul Coco the 22 year old CB stood out in their defence, while the 23 year old Josete Miranda, who currently pays for Greek Super League 2 side Niki Volos on loan from Getafe, pulled the strings in midfield.

If you hit it as hard as you can and it gets saved, you feel awful but at least it was a decent effort, two step and stutter run ups never make sense for me.
