AFCON: The Most Entertaining Tournament In Football

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!

[@spikyturtle54]

Ivory Coast winning as the host nation and with their manager situation is imperfectly perfect.

[@idowuolusola3724]

Especially with that refereeing

[@DagnalDiagonal]

The script writers were cooking

I still feel triggered by how nonexistent nigeria’s Midfield was

[@spikyturtle54]

@@Alexis-vu2sp Yeah, Iwobi is so good for Fulham but disappeared for them

[@jo_jo_tunes]

You forgot the Ronaldo celebration after they knockout Morocco 😂

[@mohammedtaha2633]

This AFCON deserves a documentary film

[@Manpro107]

Its Insane how teams like Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal, Tunisia and Morocco who played in the world cup didn't even make it past the R16. And Morocco were a WC semifinalist

[@roughysk9851]

and senegal was reigning african champion, dang what a good afcon this year

[@DagnalDiagonal]

afcon really is the best

[@MuyassarMostafa]

And egypt, runner-up afcon 2022

[@Its_mehdi_new]

​@DagnalDiagonal yeah I definitely enjoyed seeing my country losing to F****** Benin (with all my respect to them) in the 2019 afcon ro16. Yet again,what an façon it was

[@silvesta5027]

Cape Verde is wild. With a population of 500k, they made the quarter finals. Just insane

[@marlonshinoda3034]

Yep. We breathe football

[@mthunzimapatwana]

We love Cabo Verde insane country

[@kofiamocobbia8802]

The Ghanaian goalkeepers touching the ball while it was going out really baffles us still

[@DagnalDiagonal]

Sums up Ghana's national team at the moment tbh

[@milassedoho8959]

the whole tournament took a TURN after that it is insane

[@koffiam]

Thank you from An Ivorian Brother

[@AKUNJIG]

AFCON is Shakespeare I tell you.

[@hubertkagbere2957]

The Nigeria vs South Africa game was also a funny game because Nigeria scored at the 85th minute of the game to make the break(at least they thought) and then var overturns the goal gives a penalty to South Africa which they scored to send it to extra time.

[@BobbyDaDan]

Can't believe he left that part out like it was only penalties. That shit was Drama🤣

[@LuckyBird551]

And I thought that the 2011 Copa America was crazy when Paraguay reached the final against Uruguay without winning A SINGLE GAME for the entire tournament.

[@DagnalDiagonal]

I'm sorry what..? New video idea???

[@BrasilianFury]

@@DagnalDiagonal yeah it was 100% a thing that happened - they DREW all their way to a Final - and I'm still in shock every time I'm reminded about it to this day.

[@afckajjansi]

Portugal 2016, Paraguay 2011 and Cote D'ivoire 2023 are all iconic. International football sometimes goes berserk@@DagnalDiagonal

the gambian player vs cameroon who scores a hand of god during VAR era 💀💀

[@DagnalDiagonal]

I only noticed that after I recorded and wrote the script, I was so mad i missed it

[@mr_0n10n5]

In Tunisia defense, South Africa's goalie (William) was an absolute wall holy canoli

[@DagnalDiagonal]

Frfr, arguably goalie of the tournament

[@mufty9006]

That group stage drama was maddttt... I love AFCON. great video !!

[@DagnalDiagonal]

Thank you!!

[@luckyigbomor4088]

You missed out on the drama in the Nigeria vs south africa game. The var decision that turned overturned a goal and gave a penalty on the other end. It was so tense that people actually died watching the game.

[@africareigns]

AFCON's elephant mascot was the best one ever, in any football tournament.

[@yedidyaetiamanou7768]

❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@danieldamoh7663]

It was like a dream for us. Thanks for the vid 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

[@ellishaindobo1794]

Afcon 2023 was so crazy, it deserves a Netflix special or two!

[@thefutuniverse5609]

I watched almost every game at AFCON and my only regret is that it meant I missed the Asia Cup What a month!

[@ello7720]

Considering Qatar won u picked the better cup to follow 🔥

[@raungelmarlance8208]

i didn't watch the final coz i know Qatar will get it obviously

[@robizzo44]

How can you compare a tournament which Quatar wins with a tournament which Morocco got beaten by underdog S.A

[@thefutuniverse5609]

No comparison was made. The comment is saying I would have loved to watch both tournaments@@robizzo44

[@AlexSmith-dh1oz]

I remember one boring summer I just got drunk all day and watched all of AFCON 2017. I don't remember much from that period other than it being super entertaining, now I know that wasn't just because I was drunk

[@FuffyAux]

Being honest the more general football videos straining far from fifa are very entertaining. Keep it up

[@DagnalDiagonal]

I'm trying to transition to more football stuff while figuring out how to edit these types of videos and finding what football topics interest me. I'm glad you and others enjoy it :)

[@crucialtrends9545]

Great video as usual. Nigeria ended up winning South africa but the 2-0 to VAR to 1-1 was also a crazy moment.

[@collinsmwangi2079]

This year it was so entertaining one thing is that i noticed most players there were giving their all since its not for the money unlike europe the passion and intensity from players and atmosphere from the fans was incredible. 👏

[@africareigns]

I'm so glad that KZbin put this video on the recommended page. Subsequently I've subscribed, because I share your enthusiasm for AFCON. Here's to you gaining many more subs. The Euros are next and C'mon England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@g0z4x]

i feel sad for the people who are not africans hope u have somthing similar to afcon

[@thefutuniverse5609]

The video we've all been waiting for!

[@mktf5582]

Well presented/edited video,from a new subscriber in UK.

Only someone that doesn't know São Tomé is amazed by them shipping ONLY 16 goals.

São Tomé will be AFCON champs by 2030, bookmark this

Every part was worth watching

[@williamtendo7835]

Great job with this one 😊

[@Randomaccount9470]

9:48 greatest joke in the History of football 😂😂😂 U earned my sub just for that lol

[@thabilejodo1479]

Came for the commentary, stayed for the puns and awkward moments - are your other videos as entertaining, lemme sub 😂

[@thabo3866]

Another thing, there's a lot of flair and spontaneity in Afcon

[@Jumbalowbumbalow]

I might just watch afcon next time, seems like chaos according to this

[@moncefecw3131]

As an Algerian ouch that good jabs 😂😂😂😂 u deserve a sub

[@Mxrvz2Wavey]

Fun fact: the Egypt goalkeeper won motm after the match vs Senegal in the final And he got a motm in the match vs Congo 😂

[@gr6410]

He did'nt it was the congolese Keeper who won the award

[@johnnykillroy546]

Great video

[@imvazzi]

Goated KZbinr

[@EbukahENzeji]

😂👌💙 Ping!!! Awesome stuff!!!

[@LPphil99]

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 😂

[@DagnalDiagonal]

It's crazy how many moments I missed, i'm a little upset about it tbh. Some highlights didn't even make it to the official AFCON page on youtube, like red cards

[@ofentsemoabelo952]

lmao coming from a South African. i chuckled my way through your commentary

[@dasmensch2317]

It’s really entertaining

[@daa2725]

very good channel

[@AdroitXO]

ABSOLUTE CHAOS🤣🤣🤣

[@duckwithagun47]

W Vid!

[@rufhridha]

Good content, but as a Belgian I do take offence at the not-so-sneak jab at the Belgium Squad 🤣

[@spidergoat7573]

This vid was special an all-timer

[@yedidyaetiamanou7768]

Côte d'Ivoire got a manager and his name is Faé Emerse

[@bugasuaywrath7769]

Okay, this guy is funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂loved it

[@yesminebchini7893]

Bro I love afcon more than anything in this world istg

[@juaniarussi3118]

For the Namibia Angola match foul, you can clearly see he makes contact on his foot which makes him collide with his own legs. Clear red the footage is grainy tho.

[@lemuelgyamfi9729]

I remember watching that Ghana vs Mozambique as a Ghanaian and calling it in the 85th minute that Ghana would bottle it😭😭💀💀

[@AmyMazza-jx8fx]

Great vid, still baffles me how Ivory Coast won, despite having no manager for a bit.

[@MonariJoshua26]

Make content like this reviewing tournaments fr

[@DagnalDiagonal]

I'll be trying to make more and more general football content over the next few months

[@lalos9782]

Enjoying the videos bro.

[@louisbatt1147]

“A true dinky dinky” 🤣🤣🤣

[@DagnalDiagonal]

nothing makes me happier than some fish and CHIPS

[@nosaemma8471]

I enjoyed your story... 😂😂😂😂😂 So hilarious

[@mahino420]

As an Egyptian, i am still traumatized by this AFCON. We used to roll over other African teams with ease, then we became very bad and then we became very good again with the salah squad (which sadly didn't win any AFCONS but at least made it to the finals multiple times) and then we got drawn by cape verde, a country that is smaller than alot of egyptian towns (in size and population), losing to DR Congo was such a disaster here it was as bad as brazil's 1-7 against Germany disaster, like you couldn't escape it in the news blaming the government and mo salah etc.

[@jamesfishers1828]

So amazing how the winning goal was scored by Sebastian Haller, on his home soil, managed by an assistant manger after their manager got sacked during the round of 16, after beating testicular cancer. This story, as a nigerian, was fire

[@DahunsiTemitope]

You forgot the 2nd Nigeria goal disallowed and became a penalty for SA

[@kage6483]

The memes were even better

[@Doogrii]

9:50 that caught me off guard

[@oluwafunminiyibello4464]

As a Nigerian I was quite sad that we lost in the finals but next time we're bringing it back home

[@misakworkneh6917]

this guy gets it! Damn bro...keep it on the down low. let us enjoy some quality tournament before it goes mainstream. AFCON is for us who dig real football 😉

[@OmarAshraf-ys4jz]

There is also a very strange shot that you did not talk about. In the match between Nigeria and South Africa, Osimhen scored the second goal for Nigeria in the last minutes, but this goal was canceled because a penalty kick was awarded to South Africa for the same attack 😂. Imagine that a goal was disallowed for your team and a penalty kick was awarded to the opponent at the same moment 😂😂

[@drwhat617]

AFCON is a gambler's nightmare .

[@uranooos11]

Im algerian and that broke my heart🥲

[@kingsleymuriki2906]

You forgot the guy that scored with his hand and celebrated lol

[@MK-we9sw]

😂😂😂 some of these groups results aren't surprising if you look at the longer history of some of these nations. If you only look at rankings then Algeria had an easier group. The best part of Afcon is the HATRED. Seeing your enemies fail is more rewarding than actually winning 😂😂😂 And you should included all the memes 😂

[@UnguidedFool]

The arm of Mohamed is genius

[@LuckyBird551]

Keep in mind there is a THIRD country in africa called Guinea, which is Guinea Bissau, who did not participate in the Round of 16 because they ended up fourth in the Group Stage where they lost 4 - 2 to Equatorial Guinea because of course they did.

[@DagnalDiagonal]

There's too many Guineas to keep track of at this point

[@hendismutandwa1409]

bruh by the semis in those late minutes these lads were too tired to latch on those hard and low crosses

[@blackoutamvs6550]

9:49 that joke was devine

[@snethembanqoko2098]

w vid

[@wraithyoshidj6702]

13:50 ivory Coast had a Manager Emerse Fae. Get it right he was installed as first coach before the Senegal match

[@Thatoneguy15547]

Asain cup was nice. But Afcon is just gold

[@liquidthe_ethiopiannationalist]

My guy forgot ethiopia’s 2-0 win against egypt in the qualifiers smh

[@DagnalDiagonal]

I honestly missed more content that i thought, need to be more thorough next time 👍

[@RaymondArthur-sz5oi]

Afcon is a tournament in its own 😂😂 and a tournament where u could get memes and reactions

[@munguleniisaac7677]

The most entertaining tournament in the world!😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brianp3570]

If someone says they don't like international sports, that's a self-report

[@heyyouhaveaniceday2055]

what you mean Afcon is the best? Asian cup have so many qualities dramas this year i can hardly breath. Titles contenders fall off short, everyone try so hard to avoid Japan just for them to get humiliated by Iran, Jordan miracles run, hat-trick penalties in the final,... that quality content right there. I laughed so hard when Qatar get that third penalties, funniest shit I've ever seen.

[@DagnalDiagonal]

The only shame about the Asian cup is that it happened at the same time as afcon

[@yedidyaetiamanou7768]

AFCON 🇨🇮 was fire because it was like a Netflix script the banters ( Cote d'Ivoire Vs Cameroon / Ghana- Nigeria/ Côte d'Ivoire -Mali / Côte d'Ivoire -Senegal... )between different countries - the amazing mascot - the songs - the amazing journey of 🇨🇮

[@yedidyaetiamanou7768]

Then Senegal got 9 ponts vs 3 points . Côte d'Ivoire created a quote : in this life, be patient because 3 points can make 9 points go home 😂😂😂😂😂
