Nigeria is really in big distress because I don't even see any reason they should be kicked out in round of 16 after playing all those number if matches unbeaten; it's a shame to them and I was thinking they were gonna claim this cup for once but it failed!
Mane has made great impact on the senegalise and even if he's gonna be named after football itself, he deserves it Grin

. Although he lost a penalty that would have ended the game ever since between them, but he also scored a penalty that ended the competition and had them with the cup as the champions, bug congrats

Sadie mene is to be named after a stadium in Senegal by one of the in South West Senegal. This is to honour mine due to his great performance in the AFCON tournament and also as the best AFCON player of the year. Mene deserved to be celebrated, he played a good role in the just concluded AFCON and also in Liverpool his club.

Sadio mane is well deserving of any treatment he receives. Bringing the AFCON trophy to Senegal for the first time since the history of AFCON is worth it after losing to Cameroon in 2002. And here they are lifting the trophy after defeating Egypt. Mane is an icon to recon both in the local and international leagues. I just need to see him do some more magic in as he returns to Liverpool

Really mane put smiles to the faces of Senegal, the trophy alone is memorable and remarkable in the history of Senegal, i doubt that the eagles in mane in AFCON will not allow mane to participate well in Liverpool, i bet if he will he do well because of pride of wining African world cup. I think he has return, let us see if the pride will let do ok

It was a very good team work that gave Senegal the victory. There has been build up of the team like a long time like 9 years and with same coach also. It was a joint effort because they played like one family. For his performance in the club, he still may use this current foam and increase performance and Salah itoo.

2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)
Tournament

https://i.imgur.com/bG9Jem2.jpg

The results of this qualification games will be different than the previous Cup.
Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and Nigeria to qualify imo. Tunisia might get a chance also if it performs good against Mali. Well this is my first impression, things could change until then.

@snipe I was expecting Egypt to win the cup, but Senegal showed great resilience and won and therefore I expect them to beat Egypt again in the qualifying rounds. Furthermore the only way Egypt will win with ease if Salah completely dominates the fixtures, but if he’s not at his best then I don’t think that Egypt will win.

To be honest, I didn't think that Egypt could reach the final game when I saw its appearance in first games. They improved later but they were exhausted with successive 120 minutes games + stress, climate and so on. Many of these conditions won't be present in their next face-off + World Cup qualifiers aren't the same as AFCON. It is hard to predict which team will pass for sure but I believe Egypt could make it for the moment. I might change my opinion later in case of injuries...etc

" Might change my opinion later in of injury" this one the factors that usually one success when playing gambling particularly sports bet. Injury can change the direction of the entire game that one so much make a good prediction and that has happened to me some time last year I must confess that the effects is so dierstating.

Don't go too far they also came second is the previous AFCON before winning the just concluded one. Mane is a very lovable guy in his country, he does alot of charity for them so the recognition would have come even though he didn't win them an AFCON although this just put the icing on the cake as now he'll be idolized.

When it comes to the premier league, Mo Salah will still be better than him at Liverpool, I feel Mane should leave to some other clubs so he can get more recognition. He's a good player but when there's more than one superstar at a particular club usually one gets outplayed and if they try getting into some competitive, the club surfers as the chemistry fails between them for selfish reasons.

The game wasn't fair and not in our favour when super eagles played 10 players against 11 player and ended the game with 0-1 isn't really bad.
Alex was one of the top player that Nigeria depended on as a midfielder but unintentionally got a red card in the first 6 minutes of the game and the whole player became off balanced.

Being a man down shouldn't be a good reason that players will get discouraged. On that game yes that the officiating didn't favour Nigeria but the players didn't come to the party themselves coupled with the choices of the coach. He brought in sodiq late in the match and we saw his impact. Some other strong attackers like Odion Ighalo was there but wasn't introduced. Team playing a man down is a time to fight harder, example Comoros played a man down against Cameroon but fought more until they got defeated eventually.

However, conflicts persist despite the end of AFCON. The Player of the Tournament award was given to Sadio Mane at the Afcon 2021. His penalty win in the most important game of the competition earned him the award. Many fans believed that Vincent Aboubakar should have won it. In the third place match against Burkina Faso, he rallied his teammates and would win him such award. Does this sound shady?

That's just the way those things often go. A player from the winning team is often favored against potentially better players from a losing team. I guess Aboubakar would have been the top player for sure if Cameroon had won the tournament.

All competition will giving award for plater from winning team as the best player than loss team, I think is best choose Sadio Mané become best player on African Nation Cup because he was success become leader for Senegal success give more contribution for his country. I think African Nation Cup more competitive competition and I think will have many star player will make club interested to contract them.

Every game could be "luck", even if you have the greatest team in the entire world, some luck wouldn't hurt. Considering Nigeria didn't really play all that well, and Tunisia played their usual self, it was expected to have a result like this. The best version of Nigerian team could easily beat Tunisia, we have seen them be awesome many many times, but sometimes teams just do not their best.

This could be considered as a way to gain experience and sometimes even the best teams have bad games and this was one of them for Nigeria and nothing more. Obviously if they played 10 games, I would wager Nigeria to be winners 5+ times. Tunisia also played with the similar roster for a while now and this allowed them to be a lot better than expected, having the same tactics with the same players is not something national teams get to do too frequently.

The game wasn't fair and not in our favour when super eagles played 10 players against 11 player and ended the game with 0-1 isn't really bad.
Alex was one of the top player that Nigeria depended on as a midfielder but unintentionally got a red card in the first 6 minutes of the game and the whole player became off balanced. Thanks to Okoye, the Nigerian Basket goalkeeper Undecided

is just a no no for me with his style of jumping and handling balls.
Give Nigeria another chance Tunisia, we will show them what eagles are capable of doing under no pressure.

Forget the fact that Senegal won so someone from the team deserve the title, did you actually watch the tournament, if you did you will understand sadio Mane was vital to his team. Football isn't just about goal, sadio Mane played alot of impact in the senagal team his assistant held lead them to the finals that they finally won. I can't remember the match but he did played an impact on one if the game he wasn't substituted after suffering a head injury and later assisted or scored in that match.

Go rewatch the finals, mane was working tirelessly to put his team in front before and after missing the penalty. Vincent Aboubakar only scored goals and nothing more besides Cameroon had one of the easiest runs in regards to the nations they played and the one time they were matched with a worthy team, they couldn't go through.

Exactly, those set of people thinking that CAF made an error in judgement giving the award to Mane do not exactly understand how football works. Mane as the most influential player on the Senegalese side, did exceptionally well piloting and inspiring his team to their first cup from AFCON, that is deserving of an award. Aboubakar had a good display in the tournament, and he had his recognition as the top scorer, that is good as well.

The qualification to world cup is another to be a taste again for the two teams.

I want to see a different scoreline in the qualifiers for the world cup when the two countries meet again on 23rd of next month. I expect it is going to be a different ball game and Egypt will seek revenge. Senegal will struggle to catch up. That is the way I want it to end. I will want Egypt to win in both legs of that qualifiers. It is not a good thing to defeat a man twice lol.

Warm welcome given to both Sadio Mane of Liverpool and Edouard Mendy if Chelsea football club.
I felt like I was the one there, had goosebumps all over my body,given the best standing ovation by your club.
I think Edouard Mendy has achieved a whole lot in space of two years now, joining Chelsea was the best thing that has happened to him, I'm sure certain they'll win the FIFA World club cup also.

Given the ideas that FIFA officials are promoting, there is no point in worrying about schedules and plans Grin

They want to break everything, but why not do it in a logical way? In my opinion, the World Cup will only win if the champions of all local competitions (America's Cup, Africa Cup, Nations League, European Championship, etc.) take part in it. As for skipping the qualifying round, it's not a problem as the host countries always skip the qualifying round and it's not a problem.

I would still guess that Senegal should be directly going there, but I assume that since it already started way before it should, that caused a bit of the problem as well. I am not sure whats going to happen with this, imagine a world where African cup winners do not even join the world cup, that would ahve been a very weird situation.

I am sure they will get at least participation even if they do not win anything. In any case, it is going to be basically a repeat if you ask me, maybe top teams wouldn't work as hard as they could, because it is only qualifiers, but their talent is there so I doubt that it would be too much different if you ask me.

Cameroon gave a nice surprise to score 3 goals before defeating burkina faso with a penalty. I'm impressed with aboukars performance, he was brought to the game during the second half of the match and he was able to score 2 goals within 3 minutes. When burkina faso were leading with 3 goals I thought that was the end of the game.

Burkina Faso really messed up after leading by 3-0 they conceded easy goals, no thanks to their goalkeeper who flopped after he left his line thus miss his target while trying to punch off the ball, kudos to the cameroonians who never gave up and came back into the game with determination and zeal and a fighting spirit at the end were well rewarded with a third place, the lesson I learnt from this match is that never give up and endeavor to fight back until it is over, the cameroonians were already written off after conceding three goals however they eventually won the match.

In my opinion,i think Burkina faso didn't do well at all,they were leading by 3:0 i expected their coach to bring in defenders to give a total defence against their opponent being the Cameroon players.i was so angry and also disappointed with the way Burkina faso goal keeper kept it was as if the game was his first match as a goal keeper.their defenders allowed abubaker to have his way there by giving him space to score two goals.it was a big shame seeing Burkina faso draw a game i thought they have won already.

Nigeria faces Ghana for the play off.
This game will be held on the 14th of February, I'm sure with the much trolling from Nigerians to Ghanians after they got knocked out of the African Cup of Nations they will sure be back to hurt African giant's.
But then my prediction for this game will be for Nigeria to win, they have a good squad from their last game against Tunisia, the Coach just have to impact what he has got.

The playoff is a two legged matches to be played both home and away, Ghana will host Nigeria between March 23 and 24 in Cape Coast Stadium not February 14 while the final match will take place in Nigeria capital city Abuja National stadium, both countries will renew their rivary in African football, however I am tipping Nigeria to win and qualify for the wiorld Cup in Quatar having considered the dismal outing of the Ghanaian national team in the recently concluded AFCON in cameroon, though Nigeria crashed out early but played well but were unlucky.

I am happy that Senegal won the African Nations cup. Egypt, Ghana nd Nigeria have won the African Nations cup the most. I really wanted a new face to win the cup this time around. Since the super eagles flew away from the tournament I had my eyes on Senegal for the trophy. And they won! I watched a video of the national team returning home, the place was crowded with fans singing and dancing. God I love football

Senegal deserves having the cup, all through the AFCON tournament Senegal performed better in every of their games. This Victory will always remain in the mind on of Senegalese, with the fact that this tournament was one of the best that was so interesting, for Senegal winning it for the first time is a great experience to think about.

The star player in the Senegal team Mane was welcome like a president when he returned to his club Liverpool After winning the AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS tournaments. The reception was staged from the airport the star player scored the last goal that make Senegal 🇸🇳 win the cup.
