Expected final. Not really bothered who wins, but it would be nice for Ivory Coast to finally win the tournament with this generation of players.

I expected at least one of Algeria or Nigeria to make the final. Shows how much I know, one of them didn't even make the tournament!

Ghana bought 80 megawatts of power from Ivory Coast to ensure Ghanaians can watch the national team tonight.

Algeria don't normally do that well in the AFCON.

True, but I was hoping that this year would be different since they probably had the best team on paper.

I doubt anyone can beat Ivory Coast's squad, but I was expecting them to carry on from their WC heroics. Change of manager hasn't done them any favours.

Atsu starts in the final. Let's go Ghana!

Damn dede isn't taking this well at all

Well done to Ivory Coast though. Barry is a dick though.

I feel bad for...for Didier! Seriously, the number of times they chocked in big games when he was with the NT....

Impressed with Atsu .... wonder who will get him?
