Really hope they win it. Think it would be a big boost for the Leeds match welcoming them back as AFCON champions (obviously would just be happy for them as well)

Yeah, I was kinda thinking it'd be nice if they were back for the FA Cup given our issues, but now they're through may as well stay until the end.

Egypt-Ivory Coast has been a cracker.

So yeah SFs are:

Wed 17:00 Senegal (Everton) v Egypt (Liverpool)
Wed 20:00 Nigeria v Morocco

Sat 16:00 3rd Place Match
Sun 19:00 Final

Be fantastic if they won it. Egypt won't be easy and then a talented Nigeria team or Morocco in Morocco for the final would be some accomplishment. They've got enough talented and capable players to win it. 2021 was the first time they won it, so not like they often sweep the competition or anything.
