Mad one this 

For those unaware the Ref blew the Final whistle in the 88th minute , talk Ref was suffering from heat stroke and got confused, other reports stating he just really needed to go and was suffering from stomach cramps and didn't want to do a Gary Lineker.

Does seem a bit dodgy though as Ref had previously been linked to match fixing issues.

Algeria embarrassed. 

I couldn't believe how bad Algeria were particularly near the end they were clueless.

The standard (as usual) is absolutely horrific. Ive watched 3/4 games.

Time to scrap it.

Top 4 African teams should play in the Euros.

Waste of time.

The tournament is to find champions of Africa  - It's standard should not be tied to questions about is existence.

Agreed, 

What games have you watched btw, because I think some of the games have been great. I'd also argue that some of the games during the Euro's last year were horrendously bad Austria v Ukraine and Spain v Sweden for example.

As Double Maxim pointed out the way Algeria have played so far has been a surprise , Ivory Coast dropping points to Sierra Leone too was a shock result but also a pretty decent game.

It tends to be a bit warm in most parts of Africa in June.

Plus it's the Rainy Season for majority of Central/Western Africa.

Well start with CIV v SLE, horrific game.

Fair enough, I thought it was a decent game. Yes there was the clanger from the Ivorian keeper but again there was similar keeper mistakes during the Euros too. 

I would actually like to know who you'd classify too as the top 4 African teams. 

Because at the moment by Fifa rankings it's 
Senegal 
Morocco 
Algeria 
Tunisia 

Of those 4 only Morocco have picked up maximum points.

I doubt most African nations would want the tournament held in SA every time!

There's loads of countries that could host it.  

Just stay away from the equator!

What do rankings mean ?

Look at Belgium over the past 5/6 years, won nothing.

England over the years ranked in top 3, won nothing.

OK well then let me re ask my question as you never really answered it, how would you determine who are the Top 4 African teams??

The semi finalists of the previous AFCON, Algeria (champions), Senegal (runner up) , Nigeria (3rd Place) Tunisia (4th place)

Again of those 4 Nigeria are the only one's not to drop points so far this tournament.
