African Cup of Nations in Morocco starts this Sunday. Unbelievable Nigeria have not called up Peter Ambrose for their squad but Tribute Act, Victims, Hibs, Hearts, Motherwell and St Mirren all do have players going. 
 

All games being shown on channel 4.

Finished 1-0 Senegal. Missed second half as went out to get picture with Scottish Cup.

I loved us all getting pics with the cup 😍

Watched the Morocco highlights, what a bizarre save for the penultimate penalty. Atmosphere sounded electric though.

3rd place play off between Nigeria and Egypt on just now.

Finished 0-0 with Nigeria winning on penalties. 

Senegal v Morocco final at 7pm tonight. 

Been decent so far. Got this on phone. With Cup game on tv for the draw.

This is proper hun stuff from Morocco here - Senegal getting absolutely shafted here

Senegal goal ruled out for a soft “foul” and now Morocco get a last minute VAR penalty for fuck all. Cue chaos on the pitch. 

Senegal have left the pitch, good on them.

This is absolutely mental

That's them back.

Jings.

Diaz rolls the penalty straight to the goalkeeper.

What a fanny 😆

XD XD XD XD XD after all that, the shittest penalty you'll ever see

What a mental finish to the 90 minutes. Goal that was chopped off had me questioning the likelyhood of the ref having been bribed. Then the non penalty awarded had me convinced he had been bribed. Then all hell breaks loose with Senegalese players walking off. They eventually come out and Diaz tries to be a cheeky cunt/deliberately misses. Wild. Now Senegal 1-0 up in extra time.  

Hooo that's Jonny Hayes-esque - come on Senegal!

Aye my brother texted me with the 'deliberate miss' suggestion too! I don't rule it out

Shocker of a panenka!!!

Pure entertainment that

Senegal win it. Think this will not be end of this. Can see Senegal getting fined at a minimum for players walking off. 

Great Tournament with wild scenes at the end.

Brahim Diaz looks broken while collecting his Golden Boot for being top scorer.
