Just as we thoughtWow
That was the game there
My Nigerian brothers did me proud after my Mali heartbreak the other night.Love the AFCON. They put it on the bbc 20 ofd years ago and have had an interest ever since.
My ten pound on Nigeria and Five pound each way on Mali is a guaranteed winner.
Anyone expecting Morocco to flop? Usually happens when a team comes into a tournament on high expectations.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka should have played in this for DR Congo, its clear Gareth Southgate will never pick him for England.My Nigerian brothers did me proud after my Mali heartbreak the other night.
Hopefully DR Congo win the other semi final. Would like to see them in the final.
Gael Kakuta! One of the first talents ruined by Chelski. Anyone remember him?
That's a random name from the past. Chelsea got a transfer ban from signing him IIRC.Gael Kakuta! One of the first talents ruined by Chelski. Anyone remember him?
Would be absolutely terrible if it moved to a 4-yr cycle.Regarding of outcome, great match
Imagine having this tournament only every 4 years

If the successive tournaments are this level or better, within 10 yrs the AFCON TV rights will be huge.
They don't deserve this level of happinessIvory Coast 1-0 up through Seb Haller
Thanks Adex
The Ivorians should have been knocked out long ago ffsAbsolutely
There is a certain kind of football in this tournament you don't see elsewhere, and hope that gets preserved even as the player and coach quality improve
They don't deserve this level of happiness
I wonder who this benefits, Nigeria or CIVAfter all the shocks we end up with 2 of the original favourites in the final
And they already played in the groups
I doubt either team will place much stock in that game. It's ancient history now.I wonder who this benefits, Nigeria or CIV
That’s true. I wonder if their other examples of two teams meeting in the group stage then meeting again in the final. Does it favor the team that won the prior GS meeting or does it swing the other wat.I doubt either team will place much stock in that game. It's ancient history now.
Euro 2004. Greece beat the hosts Portugal in the group stages and in the finalThat’s true. I wonder if their other examples of two teams meeting in the group stage then meeting again in the final. Does it favor the team that won the prior GS meeting or does it swing the other wat.
Hard to beat a team twice in a tourney I feel.
I've not looked at numbers but attendance has looked disappointing in general - I can only assume it's due to ticket prices being too high for local populationWhy was the first semi 90% empty for the first half? And man it was a terrible match for the first 60+ mins. Picked up from there thankfully. And second was great.
I wouldn't comment if it, if it wasn't the whole stadium. Either a security issue or somebody realised how terrible it looks and they just decided to let people in without a ticket. Combined that with South Africa just passing between their keeper and defenders for the whole first half, it was a huge disappointment relative to expectations.I've not looked at numbers but attendance has looked disappointing in general - I can only assume it's due to ticket prices being too high for local population
Although it can be deceptive on TV too as they usually focus on the expensive seats around halfway line - behind the goals is often full but not shown as much
