Talk:2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF second round

Removal of MD5

Is there a particular reason that all the MD5 fixtures that appear on Soccerway have been deleted. I know I find it annoying when people don't reference these things, but Soccerway's info has been 95%+ accurate for MDs 1-4 (and have tended to be more accurate than CAF's page!!) 110.33.28.251 (talk) 11:13, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

This has been restored. Seems like the Goat vandal found their way to this article, but I don’t know why an administrator would think the Soccerway info is part of the collateral damage. Jalen Folf (talk) 17:32, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Updated times

Some of the times for 12 November were amended by CAF/FIFA and updating the page is blocked by someone who doesn't know better. BFA v NIG - 14:00 UTC +1, DJI v ALG - 15:00 UTC +2, GAB v LBY - 17:00 UTC+1. 110.33.28.251 (talk) 12:05, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Replying to the "doesn't know better" comment, again, the Jakarta Goat vandal has started targeting this page and protection was necessary to stop the vandalism. Jalen Folf (talk) 00:33, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Ghana match fixing

An IP on 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF Third Round has found this source in regards to a match fixing investigation in the Ghana vs South Africa match on 14 November. Would it be worth including here? Jalen Folf (talk) 22:24, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

I think it is definitely worth at least a note in the match box. If FIFA decides to change the match results at all, whether invalidating and ordering a rematch or awarding to RSA, then it should definitely go into the prose. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 23:11, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

In addition to the note regarding alleged match fixing, I also added one to the 14 November COD–BEN match regarding an alleged violation of the substitution rules. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 02:42, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
