Its Insane how teams like Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal, Tunisia and Morocco who played in the world cup didn't even make it past the R16. And Morocco were a WC semifinalist
@DagnalDiagonal yeah I definitely enjoyed seeing my country losing to F****** Benin (with all my respect to them) in the 2019 afcon ro16. Yet again,what an façon it was
And I thought that the 2011 Copa America was crazy when Paraguay reached the final against Uruguay without winning A SINGLE GAME for the entire tournament.
@@DagnalDiagonal yeah it was 100% a thing that happened - they DREW all their way to a Final - and I'm still in shock every time I'm reminded about it to this day.
The Nigeria vs South Africa game was also a funny game because Nigeria scored at the 85th minute of the game to make the break(at least they thought) and then var overturns the goal gives a penalty to South Africa which they scored to send it to extra time.
I'm trying to transition to more football stuff while figuring out how to edit these types of videos and finding what football topics interest me. I'm glad you and others enjoy it :)
You missed out on the drama in the Nigeria vs south africa game. The var decision that turned overturned a goal and gave a penalty on the other end. It was so tense that people actually died watching the game.
This year it was so entertaining one thing is that i noticed most players there were giving their all since its not for the money unlike europe the passion and intensity from players and atmosphere from the fans was incredible. 👏
I remember one boring summer I just got drunk all day and watched all of AFCON 2017. I don't remember much from that period other than it being super entertaining, now I know that wasn't just because I was drunk
I'm so glad that RUclips put this video on the recommended page. Subsequently I've subscribed, because I share your enthusiasm for AFCON. Here's to you gaining many more subs. The Euros are next and C'mon England! 🏴
What a great video ❤️ The Afcon is really underrated tournament and I am so happy to see someone outside Africa talking about it. Coming from an Egyptian fan 😅❤️ 7 🏆🥇
Amazing video. AFCON is so entertaining, because so many random things are happening. I remember when Ivory Coast was in a final that went to penalties (I think it was 2015, but I could be wrong). Gervinho took his penalty and for the rest of the shootout he sat on a plastic garden chair we all have at home 😂 Also I was hoping you would show Gambias 3-3 against Cameroon where the gambian player literally volleyballed the ball in the goal and went celebrating like crazy just for it to get taken back by VAR. When he recieved the yellow for the handball he just smiled to the ref 😂
It's crazy how many moments I missed, i'm a little upset about it tbh. Some highlights didn't even make it to the official AFCON page on youtube, like red cards
For the Namibia Angola match foul, you can clearly see he makes contact on his foot which makes him collide with his own legs. Clear red the footage is grainy tho.
what you mean Afcon is the best? Asian cup have so many qualities dramas this year i can hardly breath. Titles contenders fall off short, everyone try so hard to avoid Japan just for them to get humiliated by Iran, Jordan miracles run, hat-trick penalties in the final,... that quality content right there. I laughed so hard when Qatar get that third penalties, funniest shit I've ever seen.
AFCON 🇨🇮 was fire because it was like a Netflix script the banters ( Cote d'Ivoire Vs Cameroon / Ghana- Nigeria/ Côte d'Ivoire -Mali / Côte d'Ivoire -Senegal... )between different countries - the amazing mascot - the songs - the amazing journey of 🇨🇮
As an Egyptian, i am still traumatized by this AFCON. We used to roll over other African teams with ease, then we became very bad and then we became very good again with the salah squad (which sadly didn't win any AFCONS but at least made it to the finals multiple times) and then we got drawn by cape verde, a country that is smaller than alot of egyptian towns (in size and population), losing to DR Congo was such a disaster here it was as bad as brazil's 1-7 against Germany disaster, like you couldn't escape it in the news blaming the government and mo salah etc.
Keep in mind there is a THIRD country in africa called Guinea, which is Guinea Bissau, who did not participate in the Round of 16 because they ended up fourth in the Group Stage where they lost 4 - 2 to Equatorial Guinea because of course they did.
So amazing how the winning goal was scored by Sebastian Haller, on his home soil, managed by an assistant manger after their manager got sacked during the round of 16, after beating testicular cancer. This story, as a nigerian, was fire
I’m from Scotland and I tell you afcon is the best international tournament ever made I always try and watch every game and it can be the most unpredictable tournament and that’s what makes it great
There is also a very strange shot that you did not talk about. In the match between Nigeria and South Africa, Osimhen scored the second goal for Nigeria in the last minutes, but this goal was canceled because a penalty kick was awarded to South Africa for the same attack 😂. Imagine that a goal was disallowed for your team and a penalty kick was awarded to the opponent at the same moment 😂😂
People don't understand that the physicality of afcon is unmatched. Mo Salah regularly looks like he's a player of average speed when he plays in the Afcon. Thats the true issue most of the African players are extremely strong and fast. Most of the European teams would get doggwalked vecause they would not be able to keep up with the pace the strenght and the heat. Thats the simple truth
@@kaiblade760 colonialism, europe had the headstart, taking Africa resources,and use them to improve their economy , therefore infrastructure,then improve at football, meanwhile africa is still struggling at this moment to create even hospitals, let alone football infrastructure
@@bibauu It's an excuse at this point to blame the issues plaguing Africa on colonialism. Save for African countries colonized by France, the rest of us are largely the architects of our problems. There are a lot of countries that were colonized but are still doing great.
😂😂😂 some of these groups results aren't surprising if you look at the longer history of some of these nations. If you only look at rankings then Algeria had an easier group. The best part of Afcon is the HATRED. Seeing your enemies fail is more rewarding than actually winning 😂😂😂 And you should included all the memes 😂
One thing no one and I mean no one has realized is that AFCON is the best because it’s played mid season. The players aren’t gassed out from a whole year of football so that also add to the unpredictable and the enjoyment of the tournament. I mean just look at how the winter cup took everyone by surprise that was because all the players were in tip top shape bursting with energy unlike when the tourneys are at the end of the season and from the very first game you can tell the players are tired and just want to get over it.
Afcon is the reason why gambling exist 😂😂😂😂 anyone can win The qualifiers as well uffffff chefs kiss. I think the qualifiers are even more entertaining than the main tournament. One thing if I still remember properly is that they use head to head as well 🤣🤣🤣 the drama that creates is soooo heartbreaking it had to be taken away from the uefa champs league 😂😂😂
this guy gets it! Damn bro...keep it on the down low. let us enjoy some quality tournament before it goes mainstream. AFCON is for us who dig real football 😉
"was this the hand of god ? no, it was the arm of mohamed"
ngl, i'm more proud of this line than some videos I've made lmao
@@DagnalDiagonalthe palm of Allah
this comment alone prevented me from clicking off this video
😂😂😂😂
@@smelly1060the finger of jesus
Ivory Coast winning as the host nation and with their manager situation is imperfectly perfect.
Especially with that refereeing
The script writers were cooking
@@idowuolusola3724wdym by this?
I still feel triggered by how nonexistent nigeria’s Midfield was
@@Alexis-vu2sp Yeah, Iwobi is so good for Fulham but disappeared for them
This AFCON deserves a documentary film
Its Insane how teams like Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal, Tunisia and Morocco who played in the world cup didn't even make it past the R16. And Morocco were a WC semifinalist
and senegal was reigning african champion, dang what a good afcon this year
afcon really is the best
And egypt, runner-up afcon 2022
@DagnalDiagonal yeah I definitely enjoyed seeing my country losing to F****** Benin (with all my respect to them) in the 2019 afcon ro16. Yet again,what an façon it was
Cape Verde is wild. With a population of 500k, they made the quarter finals. Just insane
Yep. We breathe football
We love Cabo Verde insane country
You forgot the Ronaldo celebration after they knockout Morocco 😂
That was just perfect
In Tunisia defense, South Africa's goalie (William) was an absolute wall holy canoli
Frfr, arguably goalie of the tournament
AFCON is Shakespeare I tell you.
The Ghanaian goalkeepers touching the ball while it was going out really baffles us still
Sums up Ghana's national team at the moment tbh
the whole tournament took a TURN after that it is insane
Thank you from An Ivorian Brother
@@milassedoho8959Exactly, because that goal qualified Ivory Coast to the round of 16 as one of the best third placed teams 😭😭😭
And I thought that the 2011 Copa America was crazy when Paraguay reached the final against Uruguay without winning A SINGLE GAME for the entire tournament.
I'm sorry what..? New video idea???
@@DagnalDiagonal yeah it was 100% a thing that happened - they DREW all their way to a Final - and I'm still in shock every time I'm reminded about it to this day.

Can't believe he left that part out like it was only penalties. That shit was Drama🤣
AFCON's elephant mascot was the best one ever, in any football tournament.
❤❤🎉🎉🎉
✊🏿🙏🏿💪🏿🇨🇮🐘
Afcon 2023 was so crazy, it deserves a Netflix special or two!
That group stage drama was maddttt... I love AFCON. great video !!
Thank you!!
the gambian player vs cameroon who scores a hand of god during VAR era 💀💀
I only noticed that after I recorded and wrote the script, I was so mad i missed it
Being honest the more general football videos straining far from fifa are very entertaining. Keep it up
I'm trying to transition to more football stuff while figuring out how to edit these types of videos and finding what football topics interest me. I'm glad you and others enjoy it :)
I watched almost every game at AFCON and my only regret is that it meant I missed the Asia Cup
What a month!
Considering Qatar won u picked the better cup to follow 🔥
i didn't watch the final coz i know Qatar will get it obviously
How can you compare a tournament which Quatar wins with a tournament which Morocco got beaten by underdog S.A
No comparison was made. The comment is saying I would have loved to watch both tournaments@@robizzo44
Another thing, there's a lot of flair and spontaneity in Afcon
You missed out on the drama in the Nigeria vs south africa game. The var decision that turned overturned a goal and gave a penalty on the other end. It was so tense that people actually died watching the game.
It was like a dream for us. Thanks for the vid 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
You saved football with that win🇿🇦❤️✊🏽 thank you
Great video as usual. Nigeria ended up winning South africa but the 2-0 to VAR to 1-1 was also a crazy moment.
This year it was so entertaining one thing is that i noticed most players there were giving their all since its not for the money unlike europe the passion and intensity from players and atmosphere from the fans was incredible. 👏

AFCON is a gambler's nightmare .
You are the man dude, your videos are so underrated I cannot wait to see you grow!
Thank you for the kind words :)
i feel sad for the people who are not africans

This was one entertaining video, thanks buddy😂😂😂😂😂🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Fun fact: the Egypt goalkeeper won motm after the match vs Senegal in the final
And he got a motm in the match vs Congo 😂
He did'nt it was the congolese Keeper who won the award
Great video, AFCON will always be my favourite tournament
Only someone that doesn't know São Tomé is amazed by them shipping ONLY 16 goals.
São Tomé will be AFCON champs by 2030, bookmark this
@@DagnalDiagonal😂😂😂
I remember watching that Ghana vs Mozambique as a Ghanaian and calling it in the 85th minute that Ghana would bottle it😭😭💀💀
This coverage was amazing!!
Amazing video. AFCON is so entertaining, because so many random things are happening. I remember when Ivory Coast was in a final that went to penalties (I think it was 2015, but I could be wrong).

I might just watch afcon next time, seems like chaos according to this
aint no way equatorial guinea drew and won against the two finalists but then lost to guinea with 20 seconds left to end their match 😭😭😭😭
New Sub. This vid brought bck good memories n agonies also😂
For the Namibia Angola match foul, you can clearly see he makes contact on his foot which makes him collide with his own legs. Clear red the footage is grainy tho.
This vid was special
an all-timer
