Top Tier AFCON Tainted by Distasteful Officiating and Commentary (Ep. 236)

In the second episode of the year, we review the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco. We touch on the dramatic final in Rabat, discuss conspiracy theories and highlight disappointing officiating and distasteful color commentaries. We also had time to compare Nigeria with Senegal and Morocco, for both on and off the pitch performances and progress after the tournament. Not forgetting, we had time to ask: Dear NFF, where has all the prize 'monies' gone?
