Red_Pirate - super job, commitment to organising this tournament at a huge level. Cool that Kadirdey is adding his own.
Remember, even if there are no comments, people are reading it. And maybe with the way this tournament is going, even more users will be willing to bet on the training of young African players ?

Nigeria, go for it !

South African NT coach said misclicked the friendly acceptation, and accept the match against Singapore not against Kenya:/
Kenya won this game without match. So with this result South Africa lost his chances matematically. Nigeria now 100% qualify into the semi-final.

Now I am ready with the ROUND 5 DREAM TEAM. Well it wasn't easy again. The strikers didn't made a really brilliant performance, few many midfielders were really good, but as I saw the defense and the goalkeepers, there were some really good... Finally the choosed between the Egyptian and Cameroonian goolkeeper. It was really hard, because El Ghandour safed two penalties, but at he other side, where Cameroonian defense hasn't too much chance N'Jie safed his team from too many goals. At the defenders, Cook (South Africa) and Sulayman (Morocco), from the midfield El Arabi (Morocco) were on my radar, but finally they didn't get into the team.
I choosed a 5-4-1 formation at this round.
Too many players got "star" Assad, Shange, Thioub, El-Merghany had a top top performance in the defence. Matiku with his 3 goals were awesome, and Dialiba with his hard working performance got another star. Ibou Samba Ba got 3 assists, but too many dribbles weren't success and lost the ball, thats why he didn't got a star finally.

As I see in the picture. Amadou Tall's leg itches for the Golden Boot so much, he can't wait for it 3 weeks, he is planning to steal it, before the AFCON end:))

We can be happy with this 3 points. Very hard to break up this Nigerian defence. Only Ibou Samba Ba played well in the front. It was a hard match. Adepoju had two serious option for the goal.

Shortly I finish the 6th Round Dream Team.

Another interesting round. I choosed 3-5-2 formation in this round. N'Jie in the team again, yes. That true his team got goals, as the Cameroonian defence were so strong, as Alaoui could have got into the team If not N'Jie here that is 100%. On that match Morocco missed too many chances. Adepoju was on the top it wasn't a question he will be in the team. Beside him, Yaya Amadou Tall brought a highest rating performance in the attacking line. Against these Algerian defenders hadn't any chance at that round they all performed on a high level.

Star:

I gave a the stars, N'Jie, and the two strikers. Beside of them Ibou Samba Ba get another star with his massive game.
