I watched the fist match on CAF TV on YouTube last night and I was surprised to see quality and an alert pace of the game. Somehow Morocco proved the better team even if winning only by 1-0 but Burkina Faso did not surrender at all.

So, yesterday was the only day of this tournament with 3 matches. Luckily the 4 p.m. match between Senegal and Uganda didn't have to play in hot conditions as the temperature was listed by timeanddate.com to be on 24 Celsius. However it was a dull match in my opinion, with Senegal scoring it's second in the 50th minute and protecting a 2-0 victory to the end, even with spells of players on the ground needing medical attention, as far as they claimed.

 

Group B started with Zambia and Cameroon playing a goalless draw. To my shame I forgot about Banda, Zambia's star in Tokyo. She was neither in the lineup nor on the bench and later I learned she was not available for the championships.

 

Tunisia was a nice surprise to me but I think they are not a surprise for someone who follows closely women football in Northern Africa as they had some impressive results lately. After a 19th second opening and a 2-1 half time advantage, Tunisia won convincingly 4-1 having in Sabrine Ellouzi and Meriem Houij the top scorers of the tournament so far with 2 goals each.

 

Tonight: early shock in Group C: Nigeria vs South Africa, while heavy underdogs Burundi entertain Botswana. I say heavy because they lost this year to every side qualified here which they met in friendlies. :d

South Africa scored twice in a 3 minutes second half interval to upset Nigeria in a 2-1 win and Botswana are early leaders of Group 3 after defeating the other debutants from this group, Burundi 4-2.

 

Today in the early 2nd group A matchday Senegal were lucky enough to convert a late given penalty against a more agressive Burkina Faso who is now at the hands of also other teams (mostly next opponents Uganda and forementioned Botswana) in their attempt to qualify further.

Morocco managed to win 3-1 over Uganda after a 1-1 kind of leveled first half. Uganda now faces the same Burkina Faso's problems.

 

Theoretically in Group B all teams except Togo should get the quarter finals spots but we shall wait and see.

Well, 48 hours after the end of the competition I can say I was impressed with this tournament, I've seen good matches, good positioning in the field, great shots on target, determination, fair play, individual skills, even though not all matches looked like this.

Overall, women football in Africa is on the rise. :)

    • Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.
    • So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country. 
    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
