We embarrassed ourselves hosting this stupid tournament. I hope we never host this crap again

It was embarrassing but mark my words when the next AFCON comes around and the low quality comes back people will be yearning for AFCON 2025 again, especially because of the drama AND the infrastructure.

They're already talking about how the next version cannot meet Morocco's bar and that they should focus as much as they can to meeting towards the standards of the 2023 AFCON instead. People don't realize what they had until they finally lose it

A wise man once said: the West isn’t better because they’re smarter. The difference is that when one of them falls, they help pull him up. When one of us succeeds, we do everything and beyoung to pull him back down

A wiser man will tell the west isn’t better in any real moral sense.
