Cape Verde looking good for the next round. Would have preferred them eliminated so Pico is fresh for the start of the  new domestic season. See he got MOTM against Cameroon yesterday. Can remember a LOI player ever getting such an award in a continental finals tournament.

They only officially joined Fifa and Caf in 2009 I believe, in terms of the country as a whole think they got their independence in the 70s though they spent the next 40 odd years in turmoil with several coups to take control.

This was their first qualification for the tournament overall so beat Ghana is massive. It might also be enough to qualify for the next round too, if results go their way over the next two days.

Shamrock Rovers Roberto Lopes's Cape Verde through to the last 16 after tonight's games.

If Sierra Leone and Algeria lose tomorrow then Comoros could also qualify for the last 16

Wonder if they'll be able to bounce back from this for the World Cup. 35 game unbeaten run before this disaster. Looked like the World Cup would be the last big chance for Slimani, Feghouli and Brahimi but it feels like it's come a couple of years too late. Wouldn't be surprised to see them be used exclusively from the bench.

Yeah they had some run, think a lot of it ran through Mahrez, draw for World Cup Playoffs happens tomorrow so will be interesting to see who they get, pots below, would say majority of Pot 1 would be looking to avoid Egypt and Cameroon, with DR Congo being most of their wishes

Pot 1
Senegal
Morocco
Tunisia
Algeria
Nigeria

Pot 2
Egypt
Cameroon
Ghana
Mali
DR Congo

Yeah Nigeria only team with 100% record so far, Cameroon being hosts look tough to beat, on opposite sides of the draw so I wouldn't rule out them meeting in the final.

Senegal still high up in most bookies odds, but they'll need to start scoring goals, though defensively they've done well, though maybe not really tested.

Ivory Coast looked decent against Algeria yesterday very dangerous in attack but a bit suspect defensively they'll play Egypt who haven't really hit their gear yet, that could be a cracker imo.

Looking like Comoros will have to play an outfield player in goal tonight after their 1st choice keeper got injured in the last group game and both 2nd and 3rd choice keepers have tested positive for Covid

One of the keepers tested negative on secondary test so looks like they'll be ok
