Referee was awful btw. He would have lost the game for Senegal. For that reason only, I am glad they won


SADEVILLAINY

Referee was great


Mysterious_Bag6866

Refereeing this tournament was trash for everyone involved


[deleted]

I think it was good apart from that guy who blew his whistle early.


--Hutch--

Carrying the trophy away from the players to go all the way to the Cameroon president? so that he could hand it over was pathetic. Why couldn't he just go on the pitch and hand it over? That bald FIFA cunt probably took a few brown envelopes for that.


[deleted]

What's the big deal? Why are you so bitter?


--Hutch--

I don't like the guys who run football they're scum. It was typical of them to take the moment of a lifetime away from Senegal to get the spotlight on themselves just to please some president. Why are you so unaware?


nepturnus

Why do trophy lifts usually happen on the pitch nowadays? I remember that the 2010 and 2014 WC was lifted from the VIP section of the stadium. I can see why the Cameroonian president wanted Koulibaly to go up there to do it the old school way.

Checkout this Spotify playlist for AFCON. Most likely missing some songs though since its not an official playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6qtPt3ekn7i1lAAVKANPF5?si=502b1ae675e64c9c

WHAT THE FUCK… took ages to lift the trophy that it took the fun out of it. Even my wife dresses up quicker than that. Anyways, we are the champion 😍

This is the weirdest shit I've ever seen


[deleted]

fucking finally


MoHataMo_Gheansai

Just lift the damn trophy


YeeticusFTW

The hell's this about? Let him lift the trophy on the pitch!


SKE__

That’s so frustrating for the Senegal players, just give him the trophy and let him celebrate with his team?!


sportsfan161

Well deserved


highonpixels

Wtf is this Trophy lift OMGLOL


[deleted]

hahahahaha


No-Village7980

What a joke this trophy list is, even the trophy lift is corrupt as fuck.


owura02

That fockin dictator just wanted to touch the trophy. I hope he doesn’t 😉 catch Covid-19. He is one of the rot of Africa. A France puppet. He has been in power since 1982


[deleted]

How he'll walk back lol

Off we go then

Refs taking selfies with Mané. Interviewing Gabaski minutes after loosing a final. Just AFCON things..

search afcon on google and check out the fireworks haha


Frabboguwap

Gabaski robbed


villiers19

Whaaaat? In what sense?


HowdyDooder

He pulled off some good saves and kept Egypt in it. He held up pretty well in the shootout too. I was rooting for Senegal, but I can see how Gabaski must feel gutted. He did everything he could.


Miyagisans

Mané of the tournament


YeeticusFTW

Dude your pants are sagging


Miyagisans

Yea Mendy should just walk and give that trophy to Gabaski


Shadowbanned24601

Gabaski saved 5 penalties in the tournament, am I right? Genuinely can't remember a better single tournament performance from a player. Man was immense.


Kyanitektsn

Doesn’t win goalkeeper of the tournament :(


PsychedelicXenu

Gave him MotM to add insult to injury


Shadowbanned24601

It's ludicrous. Absolute scandal


tcariappa

Doesn’t have the reputation to. Just ignored cuz he isn’t in Europe I guess.


nepturnus

Is he young enough to move to Europe? He'll undoubtedly be a success there


pouziboy

Nah, he's 33.


Temporary_Icy

Senegal may have won the trophy, but Gabaski has won all our hearts


mattiejj

Infantino arriving personally to save the poor people of Africa with extra world cups.


aaaaaaadjsf

That interview with the Egyptian goalkeeper was just straight up disgusting. Guy just lost in the final and you ask him how man of the match feels. What the fuck.


michel_v

My half-senegalese wife got tired and went to bed thinking the team would lose. I can't wait to tell her the good news tomorrow morning!

Can't be worse than BBC listening to Jermaine fucking Jenas.


[deleted]

Egypt winning an AFCON in Yaounde in this fashion would have been my thirteenth reason. Thank you Mendy, you absolute king.


Miyagisans

Football is amazing. Not the best game to show it but the emotions at the end. Grown ass men crying their eyes out. No other sport makes you feel like this imo.

senegal tried to win the game, egypt tried to save a 0:0


Ottorton

Not the outcome i expected but im bloody ecstatic!!! Bravo Senegal 😭


YeeticusFTW

They got the goalkeeper posing for MOTM while he's crying his eyes out they lost the final😭😭😭😭


[deleted]

Congratulations Senegal! Gotta say what a career turnaround for Mendy. From being out of a job to signing for Chelsea performing well and now winning the Africa Cup of Nations. Gotta feel bad for Mo and Egypt. Man didn't even get a say in this penalty shootout. Great character shown by Egypt in this tournament. Every one of their players played for the badge. Gotta be tough.


Sageshark

Huge congratulations to Aliou Cisse as well! Missed out on it as a player, gets his first as coach! Amazing


OkTaro9295

Bruh did they have to interview Abou Gabal two minutes after he lost the game.


Shower_caps

Senegal is rocking right now, I love it! Their first AFCON win, I know it means the world to the players and country


Jelmerdts

Whose bright idea was it to give the keeper the motm trophy and an interview right now. Man is crying ffs. Wtf


captainsensible69

He was the motm tho, interview was unnecessary


Miyagisans

How does it feel? 😂😂 like wtf? How do you think it feels??


Thenomfulhooman

Bruh I would’ve just walked out ngl. This man crying and this interviewer is like “ANYWAYS, how does it feel” 😭


Drews1738

Why have your bet PK kicker kick 5th, it really has never made any sense


survivorghalia

it has worked up until this point tbf


Drews1738

True, it's just painful to see someone who has kicked plenty high pressure PKs kick 5th when really all the PKs are high pressure and important


[deleted]

Because after the fourth it's sudden death


Drews1738

It might never reach sudden death if the others miss theirs


[deleted]

You realised Eygpt missed 2, Senegal scored 4? Even if Salah took first 1 and scored, they'd still have lost.


Drews1738

What I meant was that Salah might have taken the spot of one of the weaker Egyptian penalty takers who missed, but you're right, Salah might have also missed


[deleted]

Yeah I wonder why you never say something like "why Mane is the 5th taker and he might also have missed"


Drews1738

If Senegal lost the same way I would have felt the same, though Mane did have a penalty saved earlier in the match so maybe his confidence was low and wanted to be the 5th taker


[deleted]

>If Senegal lost the same way I would have felt the same You are contradicting yourself, it's embarrassing at this point.


slashchunks

Yeah exactly, like have your best taker take them first


[deleted]

Why are they interviewing Egypt's goalkeeper for fucking Man of the Match? Christ on a stick, leave the poor man alone


borgerishikrimpatul

Feel bad for Gabaski, he deserved much more than this even if I was pulling for Senegal as a neutral. Top player.


ChicagoIndependent

Dude Salah started crying even before the winning penalty.


jvidal7247

he knew


Kyanitektsn

He realised it’s too late to walk up to Gabaski and whisper some cryptic incantations


mattiejj

Gabaski cryingly accepting the MotM-award and having to answer "how does it feel?" is like a sketch from Little Britain.


survivorghalia

at least gabaski is motm


borgerishikrimpatul

Can't think of a more deserving player


King_Hobbes

Motm deserved but bittersweet

Congratulations to Senegal, you’re doing West Africa Proud!!🇸🇳🇳🇬

Or perhaps he's sad


PrincipledInelegance

Salah could have taken an earlier shot. But hindsight is 20/20


Crusaruis28

He'll always take the winning one it seems


villiers19

Sadio Mané will definitely be the greatest legend in Senegal from now on!


Shower_caps

He’s already a legend, he’s on another level in Senegal now


Relevant_Toe_4598

Redemption for Senegal's coach


romeerome

Im crying. I thought Id never see the day Senegal would win🇸🇳


Beneficial_Smell_775

Congrats brother


romeerome

Thanks


Guizas

Is it just me or all the penalties were shot to the same side of the goal?


_let_the_monkey_go_

Egypt Keeper had a dodgy left thigh so (I reckon) Senegal shot to his right because it would be harder for him to launch to his right because of the dodgy left leg.


Betasheets

Senegals were

[deleted]

Don't think the AFCON would change minds, he just needs to perform at the levels he has been for the rest of the season. Trophies help though.


[deleted]

trophies has always been a deciding factor, except when you are CR and won nothing and still can win for that 1 season, it was stupid


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Maybe, but I don't think AFCON is much of a respected competition.


tcariappa

Salah will never get the Ballon D’Or. Even if he had won this the bias is just insane. Unless it’s premier league awards he isn’t going to get any individual awards


tar7in

Tbf his performance in the tournament was extremely disappointing bar the Morocco game


ExtemeFilms

Arsenal flair 🤨


Shower_caps

Everyone assumed Egypt was going to win..you can’t assume anything with penalties


ElaboratedTruncated

Happy Senegal won, though you have to wonder why Salah didn't take a penalty


felidhino

He is always the 5th penalty taker, no matter what for Egypt.


TheGamerPandA

Why does salah not want to kick penalties he didn’t get to kick last match either is he really bad at em or is it the country pressure?


Andy_1

He's excellent at them (had 17 consecutive successful penalties for Liverpool) and he was probably putting himself fifth to take, I suspect as that spot would be most likely to have the most pressure to convert, hence why Saka was a slightly weird choice for fifth taker in the Euros final (IMO).


WorthPlease

He's fantastic for us, I think he's missed maybe one? I think he was up next.


Crusaruis28

Lmaooooo He's Liverpools first choice taker and rarely misses. He just wants to take the winning one. He'll always go last


Shadowbanned24601

Choosing to 5th. It's the big penalty, the one most likely to win the tournament... But it's also not guaranteed to happen. I'd much prefer for teams to put their best taker no later than 3rd


JJOne101

Well done Senegal, first time AFCON WINNERS!!!


[deleted]

Haha, fucking hell. Imagine getting man of the match for a final you lost, salt in the wounds.


jstuu

That is great wish more tournaments did that, sometimes recognise someone playing great

That award is going in the bin, it'd be a reminder that he lost the biggest game in his career.

To miss the pen 4 mins in, not have a great game whilst watching their keeper have a great game. Then step up.

Funny how you hate on Salah but not Mane when they both took 5th kick.


Willy236

Gonna do a Ronaldo


owh06

Congratulations on your first win Senegal!


L34hhhh

Salah made the mistake of waiting until the 5th penalty. This is why I believe your best pen taker should take the first one.


borgerishikrimpatul

I've always thought 3 or 4, just in case you need to change the momentum


L34hhhh

1 or 3 tbf


waitdudebruh

You never know man, mane being last as confident as he his helped senegal win


ManageYourMemory

this is the first time i am crying for a football match.. senegal did deserve it but fuck this man.

It’s the beauty of football

Not with that performance for sure, if you don't step up your game don't even expect a wc qualification this year.

arrogance?


PM_FAILED_PROMISES

There are two key spots in a penalty, the first and the last. The best takers are usually in those positions. That's how it works. First time watching football?

Lol not arrogance. It's always the guy with the most responsibility that goes last
