Leicester City players in the AFCON

[Blaarev]

Once I saw Boc's post I realised there was no chance of him featuring on Weds

What you should have said

 

[City Fan]

Yes, I was going to remark on the fact he played last night (I pathetically and optimistically looked for a stream! You never know...)

Once I saw he'd played a full 90 I realised there was next to no chance of him featuring on Weds. I reckon it'll be Morgan and Huth against Derby then.

Surely he'll give Benny an opportunity? Surreeelllyy

Jeff asserted the fact some days ago now. I merely provided the reason.

AFCON news. Of the good sort.

"The Africa Cup of Nations finals are set to be expanded to 24 teams and moved to dates in June and July but will continue to be held every two years after recommendations on the tournament at a symposium in Morocco on Wednesday."

If only FIFA was as sensible

What's sensible about running around for 90 minutes in the African summer?

Aren't they all played in air-conditioned stadia, like they will be in Qatar?

They already play WC qualifiers and AFCON qualifiers during the summer.

In parts of Africa June/July is winter.

And in a good half of it, it ain't. I dread to think what temperatures get to in Egypt, Burkina Faso, Morroco (all recent hosts) around that time of year

You ought to get out more.

There are many places in Morroco where temperatures are only mid 20's in June, July and August.

It's actually a very pleasant place to live year round.

Not many stadiums in the Atlas Mountains

Most major cities in Morocco are on the coast. You ought to get out more too. There are prettier town centres than Leicester City.

Travel (for the sake of it) has been an utterly pointless concept for decades. We can see anything from the comfort of our own internet connection. It's nothing more than an attempt to assert superiority over others and create some sense of self worth ('I've been there', 'I've seen this')

Only complete bores go on about travel and experiencing other cultures and all that shite.

I say save yourself a load of money and aggravation and don't travel and experience other places and cultures because other people have already done it and you can see/read about it far cheaper and quicker.

Now I understand your comments about "experiencing football matches".

 

[pork pie fox]

Sorry, BN, but I'm with Blaarev on this one.

The interwebz and streams, TV and Radio cannot convey the senses that are stimulated by visiting somewhere such as India and so on.

When you're visiting a culture in person you can only look at one thing at a time and you may have your view blocked. When you watch it on TV you can see it replayed from lots of different angles

Agreed, but until distant media can replicate senses other than your eyes and ears, the 'sound' is muffled.
