[Gerard00]

Plenty of time to source a Mozambique and Cape Verde kit for the watchalongs and hope both teams do the business against Egypt!

[Samie]

We have sent 2 of our scouts to Ivory Coast for this. 

[JRed]

Anyone else hoping Egypt get knocked out at the earliest opportunity so we get Mo back?

[boots]

I'm hoping they win. Up the Egyptians!

[Knight]

Why, why, why is AFCON a 24 team tournament? No continental competition should be more than 16 and no World Cup more than 32.

[elsewhere]

Anyone else hoping Egypt get knocked out at the earliest opportunity so we get Mo back?

absolutely

[Qston]

Anyone else hoping Egypt get knocked out at the earliest opportunity so we get Mo back?

I am not going to pretend that I am any different. Yeah, will be pleased for Mo if they win it, but can`t pretend I wouldn`t like him back at the earliest possible opportunity - preferably not injured ! All I am really interested in is Liverpool and what's best for us as a club.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Anyone else hoping Egypt get knocked out at the earliest opportunity so we get Mo back?

I'd be worried if anyone wasn't.

[TheShanklyGates]

Anyone else hoping Egypt get knocked out at the earliest opportunity so we get Mo back?

Ideal scenario is of course that they get knocked out in the groups and we get Mo back as soon as possible. Failing that though I want Egypt to go and win the whole thing - none of this bollocks where they get to the semi finals and Mo comes home exhausted and deflated.

[rawcusk8]

Looking at the OP safe to say Mo will miss the game at Arse in early Feb.. Bollocks.

[Vegeta]

I remember the tournament two years ago every game pretty much ended 0-0 so this should be thrilling stuff 

[LuverlyRita]

Why, why, why is AFCON a 24 team tournament? No continental competition should be more than 16 and no World Cup more than 32.

And why is it every 2 years? In general I don't give a toss which international sides our players qualify for but the mid-season, two yearly AFCON leads me to prefer that we focus on signing South American and European players.

[Schmarn]

Presumably Endo’s schedule is similar and Japan will go deep in the competition.

[kop306]

who are the favourites for afcon ?

any players that liverpool should be scouting ?

[Samie]

Mali, Senegal and Algeria apprently have quality players coming through. 

[Hazell]

AFCON's always fun to watch so quite looking forward to this.

[Tonyh8su]

What happened to moving this to the summer like they were going to?

[MonsLibpool]

Anyone else hoping Egypt get knocked out at the earliest opportunity so we get Mo back?

Either that or he wins because he can use it for the Ballon d'Or.

[MonsLibpool]

What happened to moving this to the summer like they were going to?

The climate is not ideal for it.

[RJH]

Why, why, why is AFCON a 24 team tournament? No continental competition should be more than 16 and no World Cup more than 32.

Both this and the Asia Cup have a daft format where they have a 24 team group stage, with 16 going to the knock out stages.
(The Euros now have this format as well).


From a footballing/competition perspective, it seems completely unneccessary. But of course from a financial perspective, it's more games, so more money.


It does raise the possibility that with enough mis-matched groups,  a team could draw 1 and lose 2 in the group stages and still go through to the knock outs.

[rushyman]

Anyone else hoping Egypt get knocked out at the earliest opportunity so we get Mo back?

Ok I'll say it

Yes. I don't see the cardinal sin in that.


I'm a Liverpool supporter

[DangerScouse]

who are the favourites for afcon ?

any players that liverpool should be scouting ?

Morocco are 5/1 favs. Egypt are 9/1, 5th in the betting.

Endo and his pals are 9/4 favs for the Asian Cup.

[jillcwhomever]

There is a preview on 5Live now on the tournament for those interested.

[Rosario]

Having a Round of 16 for this a joke. Basically the best case scenario for Liverpool is Egypt get a tough QF and Mo is back to face Arsenal at the Emirates.

[rushyman]

Looking at the OP safe to say Mo will miss the game at Arse in early Feb.. Bollocks.

Egypt would literally have to finish bottom and he'd be home for Chelsea game on 31st. Thats not happening

To be home for Arsenal Egypt would have to go out in the r16. They could play the big boys but it's very unlikely, more likely looks like DR Congo

I don't make Egypt favourites personally. But they should be getting to the semis on 7th.

[rushyman]

Quarters are on 2/3rd

Arsenal is on 4th


Last time he missed 2 games before coming back into it. If he makes the final you'll not see him back in red until  late feb

[Number 7]

Anyone else hoping Egypt get knocked out at the earliest opportunity so we get Mo back?

Yes. I am. Sorry Egyptian fans.

I don't think they are that good this year. I can see them getting knocked out before the semis.

I'm sure Egyptian36 will tell me i'm deluded.

[Rosario]

Quarters are on 2/3rd

Arsenal is on 4th

Ah shit I got my dates mixed up thought it was 4/5 days between Quarters and Arsenal league game. Although I don't think Egypt are good enough to win, they do have the best player in the comp who could easily carry them to the semis. Not an ideal situation for Liverpool to be missing our best player for that long when trying to stay in title contention for the latter part of the season.

It's fucked. Should just break for 4 weeks if they insist on having it in January

Egypt 2-0 Tanzania - a pre-tournament friendly match today...

'Salah's assist in Egypt's friendly match today' for Trezeguet's opening goal on 32' - https://v.redd.it/vlz9evf8j2bc1


Salah played all 90 minutes.

Though he did 'miss' a penalty on 73' - https://twitter.com/LusbyJack/status/1744055957078843773 & https://twitter.com/oluwashina/status/1744076481293173118

^ it counts as an 'own goal'  by Manula, the Tanzania goalkeeper, apparently...

[Red Beret]

Thank Gawd Salah is away for a few weeks, so we can have someone else on penalties.

[elsewhere]

Yes. I am. Sorry Egyptian fans.

I don't think they are that good this year. I can see them getting knocked out before the semis.

I'm sure Egyptian36 will tell me i'm deluded.

Me too, i may even buy a Mozambique kit

[Boston always unofficial]

Just checked and this on bein sports in USA,not really paid them much attention since they lost LaLiga coverage gonna have to check if the bar has  the channel on Saturday.

[Samie]

BBC will broadcast 10 games live including both semis and the final.  Opening game on BBC Three and Iplayer.
