Anyone watching this?

18:00 games are on Eurosport

21:00 Games are on ITV 4.

I've been watching this Tournament since 2010 & enjoyed the games, but this years games so far have been mostly draws and few goals.

Opinions?
 
Any highlight programmes on Freeview? I'm sure BBC had them last year which helped me keep up to date, but can't find anything this year.
 
Pretty tasty so far, some really tough tackles going in and slack refereeing has made it pretty decent to watch. I like African football, it's quite fast and feisty but lacks the technical ability really.

It will get better (as most knock out comps do) as more rounds are played and the poorer teams are gone.
 
Ive watched about 4 games, all been poor, the football seems lazy, like they dont want to run, does look pretty hot mind :D

The referee's and linesmen pretty bad as well, yesterday goalie handballed it outside area, deliberate, got a yellow, should have been straight red.

Had this one at work in the evenings. It's been mostly abysmal in terms of quality - like watching 22 Gervinho's play against each other.

LOL pretty much what i was going to say as well, not a great tournament so far but hopefully will pick up when the useless teams are out.

No doubt Wenger is keeping an eye on the players there at ACON, Arsenal could do with a few more Gervinho's in the side:p:D
 
I hear Mikel missed a pen for Nigeria, he probably didn't know where he was so far up the pitch and passed it back to his own 'keeper to be safe.

I've seen better games in previous years but you can't knock some of the teams for effort and hard work this year. Anyway Gervinho did score a good goal for his country against Togo in Ivory Coasts opening game. Anyone think They'll win it this year?

ITV 4 has a full game at 5.30pm with highlights of the earlier game at the start and finish of the programme if this helps. :)
