| Egypt | - | Nigeria |
This seems to be a good one, this man from Mauritius. A little nervous perhaps and he seems a bit slow, striding over the field with those long legs of his, but he had no problem keeping up with the players and he was quick with his decisions.
drugged
Mind you: this was an easy match, just minor fouls, in fact the Nigerians looked drugged, showed no aggression at all, no will to win. Nigeria was pathetic: good players, even a couple of famous ones, but not playing together.
once
The only possile difficulty he had was when an Egyptian player fouled in his own area. It just wasn't bad enough for a penalty so Seechurn gave the free kick to the Egyptians. These are the decisions that have to be taken quickly and without a doubt. An that was what Seechurn did.
match
The Egyptians know how to play this, how to stall for time, how to pretend to have been slapped in the face, how to knock into a player with knees high, stealing minutes every time. The Nigerians played like amateurs.
