[AFCON 2021] Cote d'Ivoire 4 Egypt 5 on PKs. Egypt advances

[airwolex]

This life eh!

Never let the highs or lows affect you too much. Egypt have scored 2 goals from 4 games but they are in the quarters

[Odas]

This is Senegal's cup. Just watch.

Well, let's just say it's any of the remaining team's cup.

[lacidi]

BTW killer route to the trophy:
Morocco
Cameroon (probably)
Senegal (my bet)

Egypt will beat Morocco

[Scipio Africanus]

I just have this feeling that Egypt is gonna beat CIV today....I don't know why.

I cosign

And o yea yon Prophesy doth materialize

[King Futcha]

Egypt qualify... It's even worse for CIV, this is their golden generation and they are missing out on both an AFCON trophy and world cup qualification.

golden generation? drogba, toure, toure, zokora say hello.

They are trying to pull an Argentina 1990.

[green4life]

Well played Egypt and CIV. Someone had to win. You could tell Egypt was more prepared for the Pks than CIV.

[vancity eagle]

This is Senegal's cup. Just watch.

Senegal has been piss poor IN EVERY MATCH.

No way that clown of a coach can win this.

[Comrade Machel]

CIV's goalie is killing them....

He is super useless He looked nervous, confused and is a basket

[Scipio Africanus]

I didn't say it was going to be pretty

[iworo]

Just like everything in life, it's not how you start a tournament, it's how you finish. Congrats to Tunisia and Egypt . A valuable lesson for Nigeria to emulate going forward.

This set of players could still count as a golden generation

[vancity eagle]

This tournament was Nigerias to win. Kai it is so painful.

[mcal]

...Bailey is never 100% in a match at club, how they start him, kept him thru the whole match, and now to take penalty on his heavy and dead leg. Any way na big boy of premier league him be, na so dem go say.

[airwolex]

Haller was so disappointing. I keep getting reeled in by these stars in Europe. Common Hegazi pocketed him. Ditto for Zaha.

This one doesn't have a single player you could argue were the best in their position in the world. Cote d'Ivoire had two such players: Drogba and Yaya Toure. That said this team is more well rounded and their bench is impressive!

[YUJAM]

Tough loss for CIV. But this sets up a beautiful match-up between Morocco and Egypt

[Tobi17]

Goes to show no be who first do dey gra-gra for fight dey win am, Egypt looked very unimpressive in the group stage and were written off, now they are the ones in the QF while the kings of the group are in Abuja.

[green4life]

The North African Countries are running this subsaharan AFCON so far. ... Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco.

On the flip side traditional West African power houses Nigeria, Ghana and CIV, already shipped home before the quarters. Na wa.

To be honest, I am still hurting from the loss to Tunisia. I thought we will win the trophy

[marutimon]

Egypt will beat Morocco

Maybe, but they will likely have to beat the four best teams in Africa to win the title. No other team has anything near as hard.

[airwolex]

Morocco is the better team, but I won't be surprised if this team grinds it out again. It will bw so funny of they win 8 titles.

So it goes sometimes. Not that they are better.
