It was during the #TeamAlgeria    vs #TeamSierraLeone    match I commented about the heat.

Just watching on my TV screen, I felt very sorry for the players out there. In that game, they did not even have a cooling break.

Even JJ Okocha remarked in the SS Studios...
....that the players who are mostly Europe based will suffer in the heat.

I felt it was only going to be a matter of time for us to have a medical emergency.

You watch Sikazwe yesterday and feel that something was medically wrong with him.

CAF should do something about...
The early kick-offs. They should provide a lot of water around the pitch and insist on specific times for cooling breaks. We are fortunate that Sikazwe did not collapse or come to more harm.

I felt so sorry for him in those last 5mins. He was not himself.
For those who are throwing corruption and whatnot at the ref, who did he favour yesterday?

Nothing he did while the match was on swung disproportionately in the way of any side.

Unfortunately for him, this is what will be noted on his career forever.

What I am reading. (Apologies @DoubleEph)
Absolutely fascinating book on tactics and what the managers that employed them said was their reasons. Hopefully one day I will have a sit down with @Zonal_Marking and discuss some of the stuff in there
@dwinnera's book Brilliant Orange gets a good plug.
Still on #ZonalMarking
"I was a defender who wasn't really a defender" - Ronald Koeman.
Fella scored 239 goals in his career. That is ridiculous. More than Patrick Kluivert!

"We think we can finish 4th" says your "Serial Winner" manager who has spent £75m, £89m, £55m on some players. His target is to "win 4th place trophy".

1st season he finished 25pts behind the champions. 2nd ssn 19pts behind. Now in DEC, 19pts behind the leaders. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
His Worshippers: "he won 3 titles in his first season".
But he finished 6th and 25pts behind champions
"He has won the PL 3 times. He won the CL with Porto. He finished 2nd last season
But he was closer to 4th than to 1st
"He won the Treble with Inter.
Jose Mourinho is now a scam. He is using history to scam his way through his United career.

He is fortunate that one of his Worshippers is in the United Boardroom.
