Very enjoyable tournament. More enjoyable and wholesome than the football here, that's why I don't agree with people knocking the tournament. It shouldn't be forced to be played at an awful time of year to benefit European football. African football fans deserve more good footy the amount of great players their continent provide to our competitions.

It's all down to the refs and VAR for me. The games were handled professionally and without bias. Makes such a difference in the enjoyment for the fans.

Harsh that, no? They only won by a goal and had to come back from a goal down.

If we'd won, it would been a smash and grab. Ivory Coast were just a lot better, especially in midfield.

Him coming back from cancer and scoring the winner in a continental cup final is Roy of the Rovers stuff.

Osimhen looks shite in this tournament

While tournament football shouldn't be used as the only judge of a player, he wasn't impressive at all, was he?

This amongst other things. I thought it was the most enjoyable International tournament, for me, for many a year. Well done all involved.

The three of them shuffling across, each with one hand on the trophy

I can't find a gif of it (un)fortunately but this photo captures the three heroes of yesterday's final.

The final itself was a very good, entertaining game. Nigeria weren't really at it but equally I thought they and Osimhen in particular got a rough ride from the officials. Osimhen is clearly a physical phenomenon but he wasn't able to show it yesterday.

I remember Max Gradel knocking around the Championship and League One for years with Leicester and Leeds. What a way to cap off his career! I wonder if the more talented but lower achieving Zaha watched the final.

Is there some history between them? Salah is generally extremely respectful of other clubs and countries. It seems a strange one for them to call him out.

Also, Pepe played a grand total of zero minutes in the semi-final and final, if I was him I'd be keeping my head down.

I see Mido was having a go at Mo again. I hope he ditches the NT it's become a poisoned chalice for him.
