I am disappointed for him. Why was he subbed on 70 mins with strong possibility of extra time?

Is it wrong that I'm pleased Mali lost the shoot out?

Sorry for him that Mali are out, but also felt no one could swipe him whilst away.

What a relief. Mali were clueless upfront all competition. Assuming Biss was tactically substituted and not forced by injury?
Big relief, welcome back Biss!

Only started watching in 2nd half, Biss seemed to be playing a more attacking midfielder role. Didn’t hobble off or anything but sure I caught a glance of him going over to the bench a bit earlier.

Glad Biss is out of this Mickey Mouse tournament! Should never have gone!

There's nothing better than representing your country in a major tournament.
Just remember how we felt when Dunk was capped, then White made the Euro squad.
I'm proud that Albion have players representing many countries, not just the European ones.

Exactly. What a ridiculous, patronising comment that was.
A pity that Mali's finishing was so poor - they should have been out of sight in that game. Must be a familiar feeling for Biss.

If you sub your best player on 70 minutes at 0-0 you deserve to lose on penalties.

Good for you! I would prefer he hadn’t had to go to Africa to play in a tin pot tournament risking injury, in the middle of our season.

You do realise that the club were fully aware of his nationality and the timing of AFCON when they decided to sign him?
It's Africa's equivalent of the Euros. It's a big honour to play in it for your country, especially when you're one of the biggest names.
Yes, it'll be good to have him back, but it's not as if we've been playing badly and losing without him.
By your reasoning, we shouldn't want any of our players representing their national sides with the chance of injury.
Please may I take this opportunity to shamelessly placedrop and say that I’ve been to Equatorial Guinea three times? Three.
Didn’t see a single football on each occasion, although they were building the national stadium the last time I was out there. Seems their national side has got a bit of a shake on since then.

Whilst not condoning Tottonseagull's tinpot comments, this tournament was originally scheduled to be played last year during our closed season so, yes the club did of course know of YB's nationality but the time of the tournament changed. That said, please that the comments from the club seemed to suggest that he is there with our blessing unlike some other clubs.
