My goodness.... 4-4 Angola was leading 4-0 in the 73rd minute yes guys, with 15 mins to go, mali scored 4 goals I love this game....
4 goals in 10 minutes! Incredible collapse by the Angolans I only caught the last 10 by chance and I cannot believe what I just witnessed?? Were the 2 penalties deserved?
wow that is the greatest comeback I've ever witnessed in soccer. Poor defence by both teams it however has to be said. As for the PK's the first was deserved, I thought the second was way too soft. quite a bit of going to ground too easily by the Angolans.
I think both PKs were just, albeit Gilberto was looking for both penalties... On the other hand the Malian players did exactly what Gilberto wanted them to do. BTW: Angola was supposed to have one of the best defences in Africa... but they totally crumbled after being quite solid up until the goalie's mistake.
it was reported that under their coach in ten friendlies they allowed 5 goals, yet conceded 4 in 15 minutes. They were also known to struggle to score goals before today.
Definitely! I have met some nice women from there. Heres hoping Angola does well! I like their striking partnership, there is quality upfront with Manucho and young Djalma! Flavio looks like he has improved some as well. Not as clumsy. Djalma is actually playing for Maritimo, but is doing very well and has been linked with Porto, as well as Sporting. Disappointed Angola couldn't hang on for the 3 points. Boa Sorte Angola e Forca!!
I was braced for a big scoring opener but i never would have expected 4 goal comeback at the death! Easily the most entertaining cup in football right now, especially with the rise of conservative tactics and physical defending.
Djalma even won some player of the month award in Portugal this season. I was extremely surprised that he wasn't a starter.
When most teams are tactically inept, it does provide surreal scorelines. Not complaining, it does entertain.
an annoying term used by Euros to describe African teams considering Euro teams regularly commit the same tactical ineptitude. Anyway Algeria - Mali is on
