Africa Cup of Nations 2019

[zodd]

Africa's cup will start tonight

Groups:

 

[Wobblz]

Lol, the flags in Group F very tidy indeed.

 

[Ziyad]

Lol, the flags in Group F very tidy indeed.

Looks like the multiple choice answers in an IQ test.

 

[InterFCAustin]

Too many teams, too many groups...wake me up when knockout stage begins.

 

[brehme1989]

such a nice flukey pass for Nigeria's goal just now

Keita's power/accuracy shots are world class. Wonder what his shot conversion rate is.

 

[zodd]

That solo with no-look pass by Amrabat before Morocco's goal :serious:

 

[rfU]

Would much rather keep Perishit than throw money at Pepe or Ziyech. First time watching Pepe with the NT but Ziyech has no excuse he's the main guy for Morocco like Messi for Argentina.

 

[wera]

Dude, Pepe is crazy talented. If there is a way to sell Perišić and maybe another player to bring Pepe in, that would be dope. But it also depends what kind of formation we will play. Pepe in a 343 would be crazy. Pepe as an SS in 352 not so much.

 

[rfU]

Meanwhile bennacer player of the tournament so far.

 

[zodd]

Round of 16, here we go. Nigeria - Cameroon will be a tough one.

Ziyach / Ziyech is not good enough for Inter. He's not even good enough for Roma. He's Udinese quality at this point.

 

[KevinB]

Yes, judge players on one game or their national team. See how that worked out for Messi. Ziyech is a class act and we'd be lucky to have him.

 

[Native]

LMAO. Ziyech would be our MVP in no time.

How many games are you judging him on? He's been terrible for a mediocre Morocco side for a long while not just one game. Just another Quaresma type, youtube player. Skillful, but IQ and maturity is lacking. He has no business at Inter.

 

[Native]

Just another player who's great at his club but mediocre for his NT. And unlike for example Messi, Ziyech actually has garbage around him in his NT, so that really doesn't say much.

Ziyech was probably the most important and biggest driving force behind a relatively small club like Ajax getting on the verge of the CL final. How can you even say such a player is not good enough for Inter. Our primadonnas didn't even make it out of the group because they failed against fuckin' PSV.

 

[wera]

I rate Ziyech higher than Martinez (but he is young) and Politano (just isn't as good). He would walk into our starting 11 and never leave.

 

[thatdude]

What position in a 3-5-2 would he play? CM? I honestly don’t think he would be better than Lautaro as a SS.

How bout multiple seasons? He's certainly not a Quaresma type. Quaresma is more of a flashy winger with a massive skillset. Ziyech is more of a playmaker on the wings or Attacking midfielder playmaker. He has a bigger football IQ than any of our attacking players

Just because one is mediocre with his national team doesn't mean they're shit all the time. There's many examples of players who are great, sucking with their NT and even reverse, see Perisic, James, ...

What position in a 3-5-2 would he play? CM? I honestly don’t think he would be better than Lautaro as a SS.

Unless Conte aims for a 3-4-1-2, Ziyech can play as the attacking midfielder. He'd pose a huge attacking threat for us.
