I am surprised that Yves Bissouma hasn't started the last few games

AFCON has indeed been a very good tournament. I was waiting until the end to make this post, but its quite amazing how great the marketing has been. I dont know if they hired a branding team, but the marketing has been on point. It seems to be available to watch in every continent and on social media, it has completely dominated in non-African circles. I remember reading a twitter post by a non-African guy who was shocked that the Asia Cup was on-going. He said he hadnt heard about it and his timeline is filled with AFCON talk.

Some names appear in a lot of places in Africa. Without knowing the teams, team list for these two teams could come from either country by player names. Maybe Africa is just too fractured geographically.

That is the result of geographical borders that cut across ethnic lines which leave same people
in different countries. Take Nigeria for example. Around the borders, you will find same ethnic
groups on both sides. Also consider migration, which puts an Essien in Ghana.

That’s true. Essien, Muntari and Adebayo are Nigerians (classic debate on CE). There’s a theory out there that African countries are too small and will be better of bigger and stronger if combined.

It looks like Mali, Senegal & Gambians share similar names while Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast share similarly sounding names.
