Sako/Dicko ACON watch

[lemonjelly]

Following my annoyance about this yesterday, seems the bee now have a webpage for ACON:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/african/

I didn't want to clog up other threads regarding this, but at least we can monitor progress for our lads if we so desire?

Is it selfish to say 'come on Malawi'?

Tonights match postponed until tomorrow at 3pm (4pm uk time)...Heavy rain apparently.

Sako (or Sacko as the African twitter feed had it) was set to play. Dicko not in first XI....thankfully.

Not specifically related to Dicko and Sako, but in the upset of the day, Congo beat Nigeria 3-2. Huge loss for the Nigerians.

Seems the match is postponed again,to 5pm UK time.

Official stream live there for anyone interested. Sako seems to be doing alright.

Sako scores. I don't know how this has happened but he seems to have found a right foot from somewhere.

 

[andyc225]

Now Mali's goalkeeper has been sent off for handling outside the area.

 

[YoungWolf]

You mean that right foot he also found last Saturday against Blackburn...

That's what I'm saying. He seems to have improved in that department.

 

[YoungWolf]

I remember him scoring an absolute belter against Leicester two years ago with his right. I think it's more choice than ability

That was a fantastic finish but considering his right foot is/was like a dead weight I thought it was a fluke. Completely flat but bending away from Schmeichel right until it hit the net.

 

[andyc225]

2-0 and Sako claims an assist.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Good cross by Bakary, but awful defending!

Good cross by Bakary, but fuck awful defending!

Cheick Diabaté just seemed to have time to do whatever he wanted.

Sako comes off to thunderous applause from the crowd and isn't injured in any way. Well done.

 

[Parkins left foot]

A real difference to the half time break in the feed you posted Andy, but better than ITV have ever put together + their pundit/summariser was far more entertaining than Childs even if I understood little of what he was saying (then again I have the same problem with Childs anyway)

 

[Parkins left foot]

Have to assume that I wasn't paying attention properly and that was the match end not half time as no football has reappeared :icon_biggrin:

However Mali TV has been more entertaining than many things I have watched!

 

[andyc225]

I'd rather watch 15 minutes of adverts. Even a black screen with no sound would be better than watching Adrian Chiles and the other dull pundits.
