  • Hey guys,
    Today we are looking at AFCON, or the African Cup of Nations. This tournament finished on Sunday with a great flourish, but it was the entire tournament that was special. Everything you could possibly want was involved and it's time that AFCON gets the respect it deserves. I hope you all enjoy!

    Amazing video. AFCON is so entertaining, because so many random things are happening. I remember when Ivory Coast was in a final that went to penalties (I think it was 2015, but I could be wrong). Gervinho took his penalty and for the rest of the shootout he sat on a plastic garden chair we all have at home 😂
    Also I was hoping you would show Gambias 3-3 against Cameroon where the gambian player literally volleyballed the ball in the goal and went celebrating like crazy just for it to get taken back by VAR. When he recieved the yellow for the handball he just smiled to the ref 😂
