Whats the odds he comes back injured? I would have thought Morocco must have a decent amount of players and dont need a guy who has played 20 mins in the last month.

I just hope the wee man disnae come back "injured" - we don't want Zouma turning into another Benji - ie playing the occasional game for us when he feels like it.

Scotland played McManus, who has yet to play for Celtic this season, yesterday.

:top marks And yet while he was playing for his country, we had wee chris boyd in the huff sitting at home, not speaking to anyone. It just goes to show who wants it and who does not.

Benji on the bench.

Adebayor is playing for Togo.

Fair enough McManus is a regular though, just assumed a large country like Morocco would have had more of a squad.

I don't think so, not now anyway. From what I have seen so far (:wink:), Zemmama is one of their better players.

all the goalies play in Morocco
only one experienced defender playing in France (Ouaddou, with Nancy)
midfield and forwards are a bit better, but no real stars apart from Chamakh.

[Hibby Bairn]

Good game. Morroco playing well. Zouma doing OK.

Technique is miles and miles ahead of Hampden yesterday. It is like watching Brazil from 40 years ago.

Is it on TV - or one of these "illegal" channels which I can never get to work?

It is, and its a good quality picture, although the commentary is brutal.

[Part/Time Supporter]

The Togo goal was an absolute bona fide shambles defensively for Morocco.

Benji on for last 15

[Part/Time Supporter]

Being cynical about it, might not be such a bad result... if Morocco finish last in this group they won't qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations either.

1-1 after 93'

#11 scored (Taarabt, of QPR)

1-1.... 2 mins of injury time to go,,,

Equaliser in injury time!

[Part/Time Supporter]

finished 1-1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%28CAF%29#Group_ A

doesn't help them much for the World Cup, although they would almost have been donald ducked even for the African Cup if they had lost.

He lasted the full game. Could also cynically say that Morocco did Hibs a wee favour there, as he didn't look entirely match sharp last week.

He is now a fullcurrent international for Morocco. This can only enhance his value when the time comes.

And in the short term, as you so rightly say, he needs games. :agree:

So both our boys played, neither injured, but sadly Morocco not likely to be in South Africa.

Class wee player in my books

A good work out for Zouma worked out in Hibs favour

Aye - though he's looking a bit less wee (http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/3365010/)these days

Im surprised Touil hasnt had more caps...
