Big surprise :yikes: at AFCON the holders Cote d'Ivorie are out !!!!!!!!

:MAR defeated :CIV 1-0 and advance, alongside DR Congo, into the quarterfinals.

Hervè Renard "the man with white shirt" coach of the Atlas Lions write another page of the AFCON history, only two years after he led the Elephants to continental glory. He also guided outsiders Zambia to glory in 2012.

What a robbery, unbelievable. It is obvious that Madrid has to be champion again.

this african cup is crazy , Cameroon was never favourite and mostly loses vs Ghana , Egypt played the semi without their best players (injured) and the goalkeeper has 44 years old :yikes:

Congratulations at :CMR :champion:

They won a fifth CAF Africa Cup of Nations title following their 2-1 come-from-behind win over Egypt, after second-half goals from substitutes N'Koulou and Aboubakar.

The "Indomitable Lions" wasn't on top of favourites teams, but with the fight spirit, defeated Senegal, Ghana and Egypt ; maybe they have deserve it!!

Cameroon won the first continental trophy since 2002, and will represent Africa at Confederation Cup 2017 (join in "Group B" with Germany, Chile and Austarlia)
