AFCON 23 - After 2nd Round
Sup y'all-
AFCON is still a wild tournament so far, but the upsets have cooled a bit. Ghana have managed to right the ship a bit, salvaging a point against Egypt and setting themselves up with a 2/3 shot at the knockout round. Algeria has underperformed, with only 2 draws to show for their efforts, but sit at a 90% chance to advance due to their remaining matchup against Mauritania.
Surprisingly, after 2 rounds we only have 2 teams (Cabo Verde and Senegal) guaranteed qualified for the knockout, and only 1 nation (Guinea-Bissau) eliminated. That means we have 21 teams still alive fighting for 14 remaining spots, so essentially every 3rd round game has tournament life-or-death implications for (mostly) both teams involved.
