Pressure on Ian here.
Well in Super Eagles!
Congrats Nigeria. Well done to SA, proud of their performance, did much more than I expected and came close to getting to the final is a great feat.
Let’s have it!!! 
Actually that's even worse, 72%.
That's some cool penalties from Nigeria. I'd be shitting myself coming up against Williams after what he did in the QF.
Another good game. This tournament has been very good and more entertaining than a lot of others in recent times
Omo!!
Didn't watch the penalties as it'd have been too much for me but the game itself was tense. The South Africans can be proud of themselves. They gave us a game (not helped by Peseirios tactics) and would have been deserving winners had they made it through. One more win left. Hopefully we do not play against Ivory Coast.

Just as we thought
Yes Nigeria!!!
Gael Kakuta! One of the first talents ruined by Chelski. Anyone remember him?
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.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka should have played in this for DR Congo, its clear Gareth Southgate will never pick him for England.
We’re in for a treat. CIV vs. COD, two games for the price of one.
Main event tonight

That guy sold me dreams man. He was that guy before Musonda and Boga.
That's a random name from the past. Chelsea got a transfer ban from signing him IIRC.
Would be absolutely terrible if it moved to a 4-yr cycle.
If the successive tournaments are this level or better, within 10 yrs the AFCON TV rights will be huge.
Still celebrating Nigeria’s win
Ivory Coast 1-0 up through Seb Haller
Absolutely
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
Has anybody ever won an international tournament after sacking the manager halfway through?
Feels like the kind of thing that could only happen at AFCON (maybe Copa America...)

After all the shocks we end up with 2 of the original favourites in the final
And they already played in the groups

Thanks Adex
Boys did us fairly proud in the end, but obviously still gutted getting knocked out on pens. Especially as we missed a gilt edged chance from that free kick at the end of normal time, ffs.
Onwards and upwards! Supporting the super eagles from here on in.
The Ivorians should have been knocked out long ago ffs
Oh well. Make shitty rules for third placed teams to progress, get shitty results.
I wonder who this benefits, Nigeria or CIV
I doubt either team will place much stock in that game. It's ancient history now.
Why 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.
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.
Hard to beat a team twice in a tourney I feel.
Euro 2004. Greece beat the hosts Portugal in the group stages and in the final
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

5 Nigerians slumped and passed away watching the semi final game. From the reports i've read, almost all have been linked with the cancellation of Nigeria's second goal and South Africa's subsequent penalty.

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.
Thankfully final will be full and South Africa won't play there.
Final in 20 minutes. Who do we fancy?
Probably the two African nations with the most Chelsea connections historically but I'm on team Nigeria tonight.
Shamefully I've not seen much at all of this years tourney.
It's free on BBC3 for us UK people.

We no send dia papa. Na we get this cup! Naija!
The state of this pitch for a final is just a disgrace
Ref is giving everything to Core D'ivoire so far
Not helped by Nigeria being passive
