My last round picture was bad as I saw, but I corrected. Now here is the new with goal and assist lists. The 6 pictures have a better situation then the last ones. There will be a big fights for the playoffs. Egypt didn't missed points. But another interesting round will be, where the first 2 team will fight with each other Egypt-Algeria. Some of them will can lose points or with a draw the other teams can reduce their difference.

At the goal table 5 players are in big fight for the top scoring. On the assist list Ibou Samba Ba haven't a got any top challenger rival yet.

good job Red_Pirate!!

Tomorrow, will be ready the dream team from the 1st round.

There wil be rules on the first page about the dream team. In the last AFCON were really hard to decide about the best player. The players god star points.
If someone get into the Dream team that is one point. If someone get star(*) that will be 0.33 point. It can be good at the final stage when I need calculate who will be the best. There will be a Team of The Tournament after the tournament what will be calculated from the round of the Dream Teams, there will be best player of the tournament. Who didn't followed the last AFCON, can check the last tournament's Awards.

Here is the Dream team from the 1 round. 4 players got stars(*). As Senegal beat Ghana with high scores thats why 3 players got the stars. But Roskruge defensive work really impressed me, so not only 3 players got stars in this round, rather then 4.

Round 1

Onyango Korir(Kenya)
DEFENDERS:
Simba Roskruge (South Africa)*
Jimiyu Kanana (Kenya)

I'm so sorry and disapointed for you and for the AFCON that the others managers don't react more on this thread...

Maybe not everybody have so much fanatism like us.

I hope so many people see this and like this. It would be the best if some managers or NT Coaches vote for the Dream Team players, but I know maybe not everybody would see all the matces or don't have any time for this.

I haven't got too much time nowadays, because of IRL things. So maybe this will be my last organisation ,because so much enregy to analyse and choose the players for the Dream Team.

No need to be so fanatic as we are , just interested by what you are doing as national manager... playing is sharing, it's a social experience... "No share, No play"!

You can give your react after or before a match, you can talk about your team, your players, your hopes, your deceptions, your surprises ...you can make alive your experience !

For exemple, Last week i would to talk about Tunisia which realy surprised me by 2 or 3 players and the way that they played, but i stopped thinking to, why? Is the Tunisian manager would react and share with me? Share with us ? I don't think...

I would like to say, "guys,make your experience alive"! You're not on Football
Manager 24" ! And.... "Where are the Africans managers?"

That's all for me.

Yes, I see. It would be really good there would be a more communication here.
In club level we have a good forum generally active.

I would write about our last match against Misr, but I was ill, after I didn't, and havn't chance to analyse and creat a new tactic against Egypt, because I had low energy.
It was an interesting match where we dominated, but lost. Egypt shot 2 long range shot what our top formed level 18 goalkeeper didn't saved and we only tried follow the result, but didn't stealed points. Our domination weren't enough.
Another way congratulation for Egypt!

it was so close to a draw... red card and goals in the 88th and 90th minute of the match :(

And my goalkeeper did what he could. he did wonders but there was no luck at the end :P We will fight in the next match. Congratulations to Marocco

Kadirdey, I think you're reacting a bit. Everyone speaks as much as they can and when they can, or if someone wants to. Not every forum is live. We must be happy that there is communication at all here. and that Red_Pirate took on the mission of creating this tournament and runs it so well ;)

I'm reacting as some one who know that by the past, without making this tournament alive, it disappeared for seasons... that's all my friend. African communities are slowly dying and soon, by the road this game is taking for years, they'll disappeared.
Greetings !

Not easy. I was NT in Nigeria, and Ghana. I tried communicate,but the users didn't communicated with me so much. But they participate so much to take the NT-s into the top. I see only future now at only 3 African Nation.

I am really happy Senegal one of them. Here I am organised the plans and some active Senegal manager help to train players and some of my friend too. I feel this is the only chance to build a team who can qualify for the WC. I feel Algeria and Egypt have a future now.

Hohhoo, my today's match was really funny again. In the WCQ series were 2 matches where Senegal get goal from the first attacking stuations. Well, the story continued against Egypt with the 2.minutes goal at last week, and this week, when South Africa got a goal with his first attacking situations.

We had lot of one and one situations against the South African goalkeeperes, but missed them mostly.
We have 2 correct striker now and another 3 who need a little pace shortly good. All of them trained by Mouhamed.

It was another interesting round. Algeria demonstrated his first place on the table with a big match against Egypt. Senegal got an important win against South Africa to step away from his rivals. Kenya started to pop up the ladder. Nigeria showed they can get the surprising team as I supposed.
Far from the end of the group matches.

3 Senegal striker, El Atrash, and Chaouchi have the best chance to get the Golden Boot.

A good result for us today,in spite in failing in two penalties kicks ... the victory should be larger but Misr is a tought and beautifull opponant.
