Yaani Mali have been sent to the departure lounge by coin flip?

Why cant CAF just call a penalty shootout? This is a time when AFCON is struggling for relevance as most Africans flock to the EPL. Kweli CAF hawajui marketing.

thay is how tie breaks are decided a guy, nothing new in that, if you want to watch EPL over AFCON , don't use the toss of a coin as an excuse. enda tu u watch. either way, you are promoting football.

Hata sijui nini inakuwasha. Yes I know how things are always done. But I made a suggestion for improvement even though I know Sepp Blatter does not read this bored. Why? Because this is an open forum and people can give suggestions to improve a tournament whose relevance is fading. CAF and its affiliates has some leeway to bend FIFA rules if they can get agreement from all affiliates.

There is always room to improve a sport. So do not be uptight if a person makes a suggestion for improvement even if Blatter does not read wazua.

And no I generally do not watch EPL. I would sooner watch Kakamega high take on Kisumu Day.

@Mcreggae

FIFA rules for tie breakers can be bent if there is agreement by all teams.

For example, in the community shield, at one point the FA decided to skip extra time and go straight to penalties

And when the MLS first started in 1996, instead of one shot penalties, they used to have penalties where you can dribble towards the goal. They used this as a marketing ploy since it is used in ice hockey.

And in the English FA cup, starting around 1972, a replay is ordered instead of a penalty shootout. This was still true when I used to watch and I think it still applies now.

All I am saying is that CAF has some leeway to be creative in case they want to enhance the tournament. AFCON is a CAF tournament which means CAF and its affiliates are the arbiter. If they agree to a tournament rule change, FIFA will not intervene.

And once again Yes I know how things have always worked.

Heck there was a time when the EPL unilaterally decided to award 3 points for a win instead of 2 points. Some people howled. FIFA regulations called for two points. But eventually FIFA adopted it.

A journalist at sports news also thinks CAF should have put a better system in place by now since this scenario has been happening since 1972

On another note, 1972 was Kenya's best performance ever in this tournament. Zama za kina Jonathan Niva ,Peter Ouma Pele,Allan Thigo, Nicodemus Arudhi and Livinsgtone Madegwa
