Naija on fire: leading Mali by 2 goals.

Penalties. My cents on Burkina Faso

The pitch was in a very bad shape; it should be used for beach football in future. The ref was even more pathetic. Nonetheless, the better team won.

I understand Burkinabe has one of the brightest stars in the tournament, one Jonathan Pitroipa...who will sadly miss the final for a second yellow in janas game. Truth be told I've only watched one almost full game - Cote D'Ivoire vs Nigeria, for me the tournament has been dull, maybe because we just had one last year.

The ref for the Tunisia vs Togo game was a biased South African racist boer who refused to shake hands with the Togolese before and after the game, refused them two clear cut penaz and awarded Tunisia a dubious one which they thankfully missed, much to the delight of one of the Togolese players who run to the racist ref and taunted him sarcastically (that was a very pleasing sight).Togo then launched an official complaint but I've not heard any more about it, I guess CAF waliikanyagia kabisa, seeing as SA are the hosts.

The ref for yesterdays match also awarded Ghana a very soft pena for their goal...Gyan had to rue all those missed chances in the end.

Yah yah, especially when in South Africa
