Certainly this Sadio Mane generation has been outstanding in pretty much every tournament that they've played in, really, especially AFCON.

So you can see their strength.

They've got so much depth as well in their squad, even if Koulibaly will miss the final, which is a huge loss.

Huge loss for them.

And Mamadou Sarr, who's much younger, obviously, one day he's hoping to be like Koulibaly.

He's not Koulibaly right now.

So that could also be a big thing here.

But I would go for Morocco.

I think I looked it up in the seven finals that I host.

I've

played in Afcon, six of them they've won the host.

I think it's very difficult to be your host in the final.

And Morocco has this incredible momentum under Walid Regragi.

I think it's 39 home games in a row and beaten in competition games.

They've got that solidity.

They've got the backing from the crowd, of course.

They're the best defence in the tournament.

And they've got Brahim Diaz, who, OK, didn't score in the semi-final, but has scored in every single game before that, who's been the player of the tournament so far.

So I'm just not sure what happened to Nigeria in the semi-final.

I thought it was harsh for you to involve Nathan in this final preview, you know, because I think he was, until this morning, still crying about what happened to the Super Eagles.
