The Leone Stars made a return to the AFCON since the 1996 edition and gave Algeria a good run for their money.

The rest of Europe should respect Africa MORE for the tons of talent we export…who knew this world-class defensive guy was half-Sierra Leonean??
And same goes for many more of his likes who have African roots scattered all across Europe, contributing to the rich viewership of various Leagues..and still, a certain Klopp will open his buccal cavity to call the AFCON a “litte tournament”. Odiegwu!
Was shocked to hear Rohr spook in degrading fashion before the match today. Rohr was actually rooting for the Egyptians to beat us silly so that he can be vindicated as our savour. Only evil man can wish his former employer such a thing. Rohr has lost people respects by his stupid statements before this match began. He deserved the sack he got.
