 Welcome back to the breakfast on plus TV Africa. We head straight to our second conversation where we look at the African Cup of Nation game so far With the quarterfinals Well as the boys have been separated from the men game Of course You also witnessed the fact that Niger is out the ongoing African Cup of Nation the game of the Cup of Nation quarterfinals fixtures will begin on Saturday, January the 29th with Gambia and Cameroon and you also have Burkina Faso and Tunisia and on Sunday He would also witness the game Egypt and Morocco and Senegal and Equatorial Guinea would also come up But what should we expect with the upcoming quarterfinals tournament and to make sense of all of this? We do have a guest joining the conversation this morning. He is a sports journalist and Mighty George is good to have you join us this morning via phone Thank you very much Alright, so well, I'd like to start the conversation generally Let's get your thoughts on the the game so far that's been played I mean the beginning of the Cup of Nations and the officiating some people have made serious arguments against the officiating saying that it is never really felt very good for us But we'd like to show your thoughts on your overall performance of the entire game Yeah, well The tournament started finally getting to those this tournament for the first of 2019 and then 20-20 won Yeah, and now it's holding. I'm sure that Cameroon now has no time to prepare. They started back out on fire And eventually start to win some sports. There's no surprise they're also skilled too Yes, many have talked about the officiating as well in Tunisia and Mali Where the reference team twice one in the later on Suffice is saying that they're not sure has The game anymore and so far we've seen, you know, close to 10 red card One of them going tonight Why Come out for a man down Because they are all Which another issue They had to play Cameroon Supplies in their magic That also Eventually we found ourselves I'm still In But to be sure of that you know to this stage and playing a very lovely game shows that I think that they do have something to offer and they are not a push of my feet. I do a lot of more I Know It's going to be a tricky one. Cameroon and I don't play in that home. So then they say, you know, maybe because of that campaign in this camp, where we saw eight people die, camp, and they looked a lot better to prove that the Cameroon would be playing away from home. Common is not a concern after making any one use for Gambia, which they say, but at most, they have fun. Let's see down in a minute, the tough one is the best Cameroon to be out. OK, so I think we seem to not have, you know, a clear sound from your side. I'm hoping that we're able, you know, to sort that audio issue out. Then we're able to connect with you, Mighty George. Oh, you have a problem with the sound? OK, so it sounds it sounds better now. I think it sounds better. So go ahead with your thoughts. So I would say Gambia, Cameroon, for me, and the one I've seen so far with the 50-50 game, even though the Cameroonians have been so above the top, we know who scored the sixth goal. This is going to be the pilot's man for them. But Gambia, their collective game, they have to walk out for them. They also know how to score goals. Well, it's a Cameroon win for me, but it's not going to come easy. You know, Gambia is going to put them to the limit. I'm not also really out of that. So I don't have a definite position for that one. It's going to be a very, very tough game. Malaysia, Bokina Faso, I'm thinking Malaysia, because they look very popular. I know how they qualify from the, you know, good days and spend their leaders and going on to eliminate Nigeria to a more like condo favorite. I think that was bad. I think they held on strong, even after that goal they scored because they would have still cracked, so they didn't. I'm thinking then, you know, Bokina Faso, Bokina Faso. Egypt and Morocco, unfortunately, one of the powerhouse in the capital, where it comes to better be a four. Egypt got the biggest side, happened once seven times. So I'm thinking Egypt. Muhammad's style of practice. But the fact that, you know, cooking was from Egypt up to the federal state and Morocco, you know, overcame Malawi in 90 minutes. It shows that, well, Egypt will be more experienced, it will be dragged to the federal state. Morocco, I'm not sure they'll be prepared for penalty. But if their coach is, you know, is really in the tournament so far, we should know that penalty 2,000 might survive in this thing. Because in the last 16 alone, we saw about four penalty 2,000, so that is, I'm thinking Egypt will pass Morocco. It's gonna be a tough one to go into penalties as well. Then, there you go, that's the federal meeting. Those things, we hear the study of my name which is that very well against the federal team. So it's looking like another exciting game and then it goes to win that one. But one thing we must know, going into the last 16, we had eight wet abs with MCs. And now in the quarterfinals, we have only three wet abs with MCs. So it looks like, you know, the, our house, if you say we're wet abs with, I'm looking like that, because they're not actually going all the way. For either of peanut pastels or tentacles, to make it through. But the strongest wet abs in the city is tentacles. So let's see how it goes with it for a while. If you don't know, there's been quite a question. And I think that the wet wing errors are being checked as we go along the way. And my hat goes out to those families that love you, love you, want you on a wet path. Not being a bad boy on a wet field. Interesting. You've actually covered every, every blade of grass, no pun intended that we intended to take you through this morning. And of course, no surprises as you are a communications expert. So your picks for, for this every five hours, Mighty George came around to beat Gambia, you said. Tunisia to fly past, that is the Bokenha Faso team. Maybe the Amais might be occupied with the coup in that country. We just don't know. Egypt, Morocco, who did you say you were picking? I said Egypt. Egypt, fine, fine. And of course- And you said Singapore. Yeah, and you said Senegal to fly past the Koteiragini. Some will say Koteiragini haven't played that badly. You know, especially when they played against Algeria, they defended African champions. Yeah, Algeria, as you can see, was very smart in this tournament. They were beaten by Poteiragini, you know, humbled by a tutorial game. So, you know that Algeria weren't themselves, just like Anna, you know, was as well. They came in here, not prepared, and it's really no surprise because back in 1990, so a champion that they came back in 1992, they were eliminated at the first round. So maybe they have that, that team, you know, that champion team when it comes to another tournament. So Algeria were not really in that, you know, because they were beaten by everyone. Interesting. Mighty Georgia, I want to thank you very much for your time. It's some fantastic analysis that you've brought our way and that we cannot wait for the weekend to be upon us so that we can be serenaded with the best of African football. And of course, see who emerges in the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations. Maybe then we'll have you all to tell us who you think will win the tournament. For now, let's take your predictions and wait for the outcome of the four quarter-final games. Thank you very much. Mighty Georgia, appreciate your time. Thank you very much. All right. Very, very interesting analysis and you can't fault his analysis as a sports fan and as an Arsenal fan. I'm rooting for you, Nene. I don't know if Liverpool has any. You're Liverpool fan, right? Yes, I'm a Liverpool fan. OK, I don't think you guys have anybody in this tournament. No. Oh, you have Sala. OK, yeah, you have Sala, yeah. Sala did Sala and Mane. Well, I think Mane has some kind of injuries and I'm not mistaken or something. I'm not too sure. But one would actually, you know, I would always remember the words of Wallace Court saying, maybe Nigeria actually decided to play, you know, Egypt because of Sala. And we could see the whole energy, the zest that was put out, it was really strong. And now Sala is still in the game. It's football for you. I suspect, I mean, which will be the African combination if there's no upset, you know, there's no upset. I've been looking at this and looking at where the upset can come from. I've not been too convinced with the play of the Senegalese, you know, I've not been too convinced with their play. So let's see how it pans out. But I love an upset. I'd like to see a small team. And I also think that the Cameroonians have actually not failed and disappointed as well. We always know that, you know, with the Afqon, one strong team you should look out for. They haven't really disappointed but unfortunately we saw Ghana, you know, leaving the scene just as Niger. But fingers are actually crossed. You know, before you start hitting what you should think about, but it's all good. It's all good. No, I think it doesn't. I think it's fine. It's fine. So let's see. I think Egotura Guinea may be able to upset Senegal, maybe through penalties because the Senegalese have not been scoring. We have seen several games where, you know, even in the World Cup, we see strong teams that you should look out for getting kicked out of the game. And you never can tell what happens because everything is always going there to win until made the best team win. Made the best team win. Well, that's the much we can take at this point in time. It has been a great conversation. I mean, seven o'clock up until this time, we do appreciate all that you have been able to stay with us from that time. Till this moment, we will definitely return on Monday with the breakfast on Plos TV Africa. I am Massé Bopo.
