87m Gambia 2 Cameroon 2
91m Gambia 2 Cameroon 3
93m Gambia 3 Cameroon 3
94m Gambia 2 Cameroon 3 (Goal ruled out by VAR)

I don’t know how that player thought he’d get away with that handball for the ruled out goal 😆

Henry did. 😂

Someone punched one in from very close range against us as well late on in a game to either nick a point I think, or maybe even take all 3, memory is going as I can't remember who the player or team was. Feels like it was someone who always scores against us (I know there are plenty), and the team were a bit of a bogey team for us as well at that time.

PrestonHammer

That was Calum Wilson for Bournemouth. He not only hand balled it in, he was offside and the ref and linesman had a convo, knowing he was both offside and handled it and still decided to give it.

Cheers Preston, that's the one.

Bazshuayi

thornburyiron

As did our very own Geoff Hurst.

Bazshuayi

Yeah but thats ermmm different

thornburyiron

Yes he only did it with the first of 6 he scored that day.

Great news, after refusing to allow Kudos to play in West Ham’s game, I’ll shed no tears for him

IronHerb

Kudus wasn't fit enough to play anyway.

Doesn’t change what Houghton did

claretandbluesky

Quite right DJ, I agree. Let's hope he comes back fit and ready to go.

PrestonHammer

Have you thought that maybe Hughton knew Kudus was injured so knew he wasn't going to play anyway? Haven't seen anywhere that Hughton himself say Kudus couldn't play.

thornburyiron

I don’t think he said he couldn’t play per se but insisted he report for flying out.

Ivory Coast are sweating on the result of Morocco v Zambia this evening; anything other than a win for Morocco will see the hosts eliminated in the group stage.

ASLEFshrugged

Morocco delivered, Ivory Coast sneak through to the playoffs but they've got Senegal, the only team to win all three Group matches

Quite amusingly, they'd already sacked their coach after their last group game 😂🤣😂.

Morocco still 0-0 against South Africa into the second half; if there's another upset Aguerd could be heading back tomorrow.

South Africa take the lead.

Penalty for Morocco

buffybegood

He hits the crossbar, still 1-0 to South Africa, 5 minutes plus added time left.

Bazshuayi

Oh dear
