Can anybody who lives by Pistonbroke call at his house to make sure he isn't hanging from the bannister.

 

I honestly feel ripped off. 4-0 up and i was planning my winnings. 4-4 end result and my jaw was on the ground. Fucking gutted mate. Stinks of some betting scandal to me, the odds on a draw at 4-0 must of been pretty damn good.

Bloody hell, at 4-2 I thought it was all over because Angola weren't exactly under the cosh despite their keeper looking ropey. Switched over to flick between the Serie A and La Liga matches. Just goes to show, you turn away for 6 minutes and shit happens!

 

Up to then, the game amplicated exactly what is good and bad about the African game. The good is that you get strangely entertaining games full of poor football, with occasional flashes of brilliance, which is great for the neutral.

 

The bad is that it seems every sub-Saharan African country (bar perhaps South Africa) seems to produce midfielders and defenders who would be more at home in the NBA. They're all 7ft athletes it appears! Ghana and Ivory Coast are guilty of this as well, but they have a little more imagination and creativity about their approach. To get a better idea of what I mean, imagine a series of matches degenerating into midfield stalemates because every midfielder on the pitch is a carbon copy of Momo Sissoko.
