You got me excited, thinking Kanouté got into football coaching. Alas, nope, still no footballing Freddy for the time being.

Emilio Nsue, former Mallorca wingback developed into a super striker in the fall of his career, scoring a hattrick today. Just Africa Cup things.

Apologies to you Bounou & En-Nesyri supporters, but today is the day Morocco must run into the mighty Leopards of DR Congo. Ya boy YEN will be tucked in nicely in Mbemba’s pocket, while Bakambu will remind him what a real striker is like. This group is ours! :triumph: :congo_kinshasa: :congo_kinshasa: :congo_kinshasa:

One of the Congo players has made our Youssef furious, if it wasn’t for Bono literally hanging onto him trying to hold him back. Things would have escalated big time.

he did great against Gambia, despite conceding 2 goals. interesting dropping probably the most hyped goalkeeper right now for him

Sorry about DRC, @Edinho !

Next time!

Who’s taking home the glory? Nigeria or Côte d’Ivoire ?

I gotta go with my old Ivoirien friends, even though the knocked out DRC.

Y’all picking a favorite?

A pity that DR Congo is out… Ivory Coast is quite lucky to be in the final, they should’ve got knocked out by Mali, but oh well.

Rooting for Nigeria in the final!

As for the Asian Cup - it will be an interesting final between Jordan and Qatar.

I’ve seen the Jordan NT play live when they beat Kosovo 0-2, although Kosovo NT was in a terrible form and without a coach at that time, I saw how serious Jordan players were tactically and played with a lot of patience, often looking for fast counters.

Rooting for Qatar, but would be cool if Jordan wins it too.

Ivory Coast ‘stole’ this edition’s AFCON… wow!

Barely made it out of the group and grind out wins in the knockout stage, only to beat the favorites Nigeria in the final.

Haller is Ivory Coast’s new hero.

Congrats!

And they beat some of the strongest teams in the tournament.

Senegal, Mali, DR Congo, Nigeria… all of them could’ve easily won it with a bit more luck.
