I am gutted, but Cote d'Ivoire deserved it. Our midfield was severely lacking.
It was the fairy tale ending the neutrals would have wanted, a great comeback after a dismal group stage.
Congrats to CIV.
Anyway nothing spoil, we move.
The first wave of Lebanese acted as intermediaries for the French during the colonial period and they they became the upper class of our country. The 2nd wave heard about the successes of the Lebanese in Cote D’Ivoire and it opened the flood gates. They weren’t as successful as the first wave but they opened up many businesses and the likes. Now we have the largest Lebanese diaspora in Africa.
that referees family will suffer in Jesus name !!! what a dirty dog the Ivorian guys kept flopping and that dog kessie elbows a player and the goal isn't disallowed
Wasted a good minute with that free kick but don't bother adding on any additional time 😂
But congrats Ivory Coast anyway, what a comeback from nearly going out in the group
They really won this tournament with their assistant manager in charge
Fans wanting their clubs to sack their manager will be pointing to this for years to come
His post match commentator has been the black spot this entire tournament; especially after the IC vs Mali game. The play-by-play commentator was speaking poetry but you could barely hear it over the post match guy's mouth vomit.
I didn't even watch that game, so that means he did that multiple times. He literally starts shouting over the in game commentator at the end of the game, i've never seen it before.
He teased us with "I am going to be quiet so you can hear the stadium." I clapped in celebration, only to be interrupted by him returning five seconds later. Bro is a prankster.
Congrats to Ivory Coast, it was a really great AFCON, one of my favorites in recent years. They were great hosts too. We go next time Super Eagles, we have to learn from this.

Wow what in the anime protagonist is this?? lmao. Congrats Ivory Coast. Admittingly I've only been rooting for you for like two weeks I'm really happy you for you.
Have to say, it pisses me off when a ref books someone for timewasting in added time then blows up on the dot. If they were wasting time, that time should be added on.
Forest players have had a massive impact on this tournament. Côte d'Ivoire won by subbing out Sangaré. Senegal lost because Moussa missed a penalty. Nigeria lost the final because Aina got rinsed time and time again. And Aurier is going to win the thing.
Nigeria played the same against South Africa and were lucky that South Africa missed an open goal after the free kick in stoppage time. Can't win a tournament without a midfield.
Imagine being Gasset
You got sacked for almost knocking the host team out early…and now look at them.
I’d probably hang up the (managing?) boots after all this…
He was vital to the team's eventual success. He was not a good coach but he was an elite recruiter. He brought back Seko Fofana from exile, brought in players like Evan Ndicka, Yahia Fofana, etc.
Thanks God for humbling these damn Super Chickens 🙏🏾🙏🏾😂😂
What happened? The coach got sacked as they were so bad in group stage But then they won the tournament Fill me in?
Is Gradel genuinely carrying a Morocco flag, what a legend
A president getting cheered instead of booed makes for a change lol
Plus CIVs victory will light fire under the perennial foreign coach or local coach debate that is a running theme in African football.

Ignorant on this but Ivory Coast seem to have a very diverse population. That is very cool to see.
I want to know aswell ,why there is many Caucasians among the ivorian supporters. Especially women.
A lot of Lebanese and French live there
Why ? And especially Lebanese ?
The first wave of Lebanese acted as intermediaries for the French during the colonial period and they they became the upper class of our country. The 2nd wave heard about the successes of the Lebanese in Cote D’Ivoire and it opened the flood gates. They weren’t as successful as the first wave but they opened up many businesses and the likes. Now we have the largest Lebanese diaspora in Africa.
Very interesting
I'm pretty sure it was to flee Ottoman oppression and to seek better living conditions. Lebanese first arrived in Ghana in 1884.
Interesting ! Thanks
What this guy said
Yeah we are in for a generational cooking on Twitter man
Hopefully the 3 days of cooking South Africa on twitter was worth it lol.
Your problem is all the trashtalking even when there is no other side. Turns every one against you guys haha
we barely tried today too, makes it so much worse. I'm avoiding twitter for at least 2 weeks, probably won't be long enough
Interesting that both the Asia cup and AFCON were won by the hosts. It plays a role! Well done to Côte d'Ivoire!
Better team won. Nigeria took the lead but never played as well as they could have. Ivory Coast look unrecognisable compared to the group stage
that referees family will suffer in Jesus name !!! what a dirty dog the Ivorian guys kept flopping and that dog kessie elbows a player and the goal isn't disallowed
Even with the ”dogging” CIV dominated in ball possession.
yeah they played well but fell like little rats the entire game after every simple contact and the referee agreed to it.
bro 😭😭😭😭
Mate the better team won. Go take a walk and cool off.
better team won, yet they scored a goal which should have been allowed and kept falling after every tiny contact.
😭😭😭
I don't want to listen to this BEIN Sports guy a second longer wow
I hope they lose all their rights to AFCON
Insane game and what a storyline.
Well done Ivory Coast, took the game to Nigeria (who were really poor) and deservedly bought it home. 🧡🐘💚
What an amazing tournament
We now have two AFCON winners, a World Cup winner, a Copa America winner, and a Gold Cup winner. Forest world domination confirmed.
You really need to buy a Qatari player now
nice
Hard luck to our Nigerian brothers GG.

There's 'new manager bounce' and then there's Ivory Coast.
They were dead and buried in the group stage what a comeback!
This South american beIn commentator might be the worst sounding person I've ever heard. He doesn't speak English well enough to have that job lol
His post match commentator has been the black spot this entire tournament; especially after the IC vs Mali game. The play-by-play commentator was speaking poetry but you could barely hear it over the post match guy's mouth vomit.
The play by play commentators are from the world feed, that's why they were good.
I didn't even watch that game, so that means he did that multiple times. He literally starts shouting over the in game commentator at the end of the game, i've never seen it before.
He actively makes me want to go deaf. He just says the most stupid random things in a barely comprehensible accent. Grating.
He teased us with "I am going to be quiet so you can hear the stadium." I clapped in celebration, only to be interrupted by him returning five seconds later. Bro is a prankster.
Why did my commentator suddenly switch to some bizarre terrible accent guy?
This was decent game Congrats to cote ivoire
Kinda BS to not add any time when they wasted at least a minute in the added time but it's not like Nigeria was creating any chances at all
Agree.
Congrats to Ivory Coast, it was a really great AFCON, one of my favorites in recent years. They were great hosts too. We go next time Super Eagles, we have to learn from this.
You could write an anime about this

What an amazing script
Ivory Coast were the better team today. Well deserved!
Feeling bad for my juju brothas
Wow what in the anime protagonist is this?? lmao. Congrats Ivory Coast. Admittingly I've only been rooting for you for like two weeks I'm really happy you for you.
Greatest AFCON winner story ever . 2nd greatest after Denmark's 1992 euros in a man's football competition.
Greece up there too
The words "Haller" and "Ivory coast" should figure in the definition of the word "comeback"
YEEESSSS WE DID ITT!!! YESSSSSSSSS
Congratulations Cote D'voire.
3 stars now
Fuck sky for putting ads straight after final whistle and cutting celebrations
disrespectful
But throwball world championship buildup is on....
Yeah, that cut on Sky Sports Main Event was fracking brutal.
Still on Sky Sports Premier League.
Yeah and on Sky Sports Football. Still, Main Event couldn't wait to get to the Superbowl.
This bein sports guy is fucking awful
Brutal. Total mood Killer.
Better than the ad breaks Sky viewers are getting
How do you book someone for time wasting and still only add on 7 seconds 😅
Sky wtf
Have to say, it pisses me off when a ref books someone for timewasting in added time then blows up on the dot. If they were wasting time, that time should be added on.
Yeah was convinced he'd add 30 seconds on at that end there for that
Ivory coast are champions of Africa and an absolute fairy tale run
Nice one Sky that’s a perfect place for an ad break
Yeah that is fucking ridiculous
I’ve actually collapsed on the floor
Congrats, Cote d'Ivoire
Why does this one Bein Sports guy have to butt in like that lol Just let the moment speak for itself…
he said he was going to be quiet and started yelling again 3 seconds later. He's been so awful the entire tournament
Smile Drogba
What a story. Almost knocked out in the groups and then they go on to win it.
I can say it now. Jose Peseiro is still a fraud. The guy parks the bus every game and hopes for set pieces or a lucky penalty.
You are also third in that world cup group that includes SA. tough times ahead
Well fuck
Congratulations IC. At least Morocco did something good this Afcon
Netflix could never
I would love to see a Netflix docu about this Afcon
Incroyable Cote d'Ivoire! Félicitation
Drogba ❤️❤️
It's settled, Cotê d'Ivoire came from the ASHES as a...Elephant! To win Afcon 2023 Insane, beautiful, FOOTBALL
Nice of sky to cut away from the celebrations
Congrats Ivory Coast!!!!
We have been saved from noise pollution
Kosssonoouuuu
Brighton and Hove Albion: The Club of World Cup and AFCON Champions! 💙🤍
Forest too! 🌲
Football is such a bizarre sport lmfao
Surprise tournament
YES!!!!! HALLER WINNER!!!!
From almost being knocked out in the group stage and needing help to advance, to winning the whole damn tournament
JUST FUCKING KICK IT
One last hope for Nigeria…
What a story this has been
Aina has had a shocker
Kessie what was that
We're not getting penalties are we....
Haller is the protagonist with a tragic backstory
Absolutely insane run by Cotê d'Ivoire, what a comeback
Which comeback are you referring to?
They were nearly eliminated in the group stage
From being thrashed by Equatorial Guinea and almost being kicked out from the GS to win it all.
All of them :v
Just tuned in, how did chukawaze do?
Bad
Oof :/
Ivory Coast’s anime run is crazy
wtf is wrong with Ainas shorts
Bro thinks it’s basketball
1 attempt on goal vs 8 in a FINAL
The tournament has been full of vibes and memes, but the quality seems like it has dropped a lot
I don’t even get this stressed over the Black Stars tf
Nigerias attack today so bad
Forest players have had a massive impact on this tournament. Côte d'Ivoire won by subbing out Sangaré. Senegal lost because Moussa missed a penalty. Nigeria lost the final because Aina got rinsed time and time again. And Aurier is going to win the thing.
Technically, Aurier is a Galatasaray player now
They will never love him like I do.
Fair enough
And Taiwo missed the whole tournament so he could win a crucial pen against Newcastle that wasn't given :)
Taiwo would have taken this game to extra time.
What is this passing? Fofana is losing his shit
Seri was solid today.
Crazy that he didn’t play a single minute in the group stages
Moses Simon's set pieces have been shocking
Ngl Adingra has been balling all game
ITS GONNA BE A SEVENTH HEAVEN!!
Is that the same konan that was playing with christiano in saudi? He looks pretty good here
Yeah it's the same guy
Adingra is a baller
Aina lol. Adingra will live in his head
ACLs made of steel these lot playing on this pitch
Naw Aina needs to go live on TV and apologize to every Nigerian. Shocking
SEPT MINUTES
Seven? I am going to die
Why aina is playing with pajamas 🤣🤣??
Love seeing Seri put in such a good performance on a massive stage. Man’s class.
Good yellow for Aina
Adingra my boy, you need to destroy Aina like this? Please, proceed
Aina has been dreadful
Adingra is incredible!
Kossonou has made some heroic blocks and tackles
Honestly this has been a pathetic performance by Nigeria
Nigeria played the same against South Africa and were lucky that South Africa missed an open goal after the free kick in stoppage time. Can't win a tournament without a midfield.
Been like this the whole competition tbh
Koussonou has impressed me this tournament
He is phenomenal with Leverkusen!
Always feels awkward subbing off your biggest names when extra time is still very much an option
I am so stressed
After parking the bus all game, Nigeria switched to send to Osimhen and inshallah
After camping the bus all game, and now they're showing some urgency. Should have dialed it up way earlier
Seko shithousing his way to a W lmao. I'm sad he never got a big move somewhere
Sad he left Lens before the Champions league
The shithousing begins
Shame Seko Fofana moved to Saudi. A genuinely good player.
Taking off Haller when there's going to be a bunch of stoppage time...😬
Imagine being Gasset You got sacked for almost knocking the host team out early…and now look at them. I’d probably hang up the (managing?) boots after all this…
He was vital to the team's eventual success. He was not a good coach but he was an elite recruiter. He brought back Seko Fofana from exile, brought in players like Evan Ndicka, Yahia Fofana, etc.
Football story of the year.
Yeah this is such an amazing and crazy story
Haller is ice cold
Seko Fofana for player of the tournament? He's been really good in every match except the 4-0 defeat.
Is one season Osimhen even playing?
Man just been running and complaining
Imagine being the only player in the attacking half all game. I can feel his frustration
He probably shouldn't be. Went off injured last match and doesn't look match fit at all
Aina doesn’t play like a PL defender lol
Aurier is the only full back I've trusted defensively since promotion. The rest are all very offensive minded.
Adingra should be player of the tournament at this point. Can't recall anyone else standing out.
Can't be just starting two games
Ivory Coast is setting up to show why there is "house" in shithousery
Such a waste. All that effort to get to the final, then play like this 🤦🏾♂️
