 Yes, indeed. Welcome back, Karibusana, and what a way to kuna Meshakisenge once again on the fund zone and now so Meshak, maybe on the fund zone, it's the favorite part of this show. So, we talk about the Afghan, right? And our mouthwatering march is yesterday, and of course today's fixtures as well, South Africa again is kept back later on in the evening, but of course the first march will be Ivory Coast against Mali, that's today. But yesterday, Nigeria, I think many people just did put their money on Nigerian, they did not disappoint. Do you think that after their game yesterday against Angola, they put out their title credentials? It is becoming increasingly difficult to write them off at this point. If you look at their performances up to this point, they've been nothing but impressive. They've conceded a single goal up to this point, and clearly you can see they won nothing but the title. Looking at the performance they put in Angola yesterday, they dominated the entire game. Just like the previous one at the group stages and ground of 16, they have been dominant up to this point. And I think probably we could see them clinching their fourth title if they keep up with the same spirit, and up to the final. One thing I like about the Nigerian side is how well oiled their defense is. They've been defending. Aina has been a rock at the back. Sure, sure, they've been so strong at the back. They are attacking, they are playing like a team. I think they have a chance to win. I think they've relieved of Osiman, all the pressure. Maybe when you watch Osiman in Napoli, the rest of the teams work for him. The rest of the team or the team works for him. They get the ball to him and sometimes even drops deep to get the ball. But in Nigeria he is like a decoy. I am liking what he is giving to the team. I like the way he is attacking, the way he is helping in defense. He just won the African Men's Best Player just the other day. Tokapura has been an impressive season for him at Napoli and the national team. He's been working so hard. You can see he's pressing, he's trying to attack, throwing his body on the line. Just like his colleagues, you can see if you look at the Nigerian team, you can see everyone clearly wants to win the title. It would be amazing for him, Tokapura has been an impressive season for him with the African title. Yes indeed. That's when you get to a semi-final or such a stage in any team. It means that the brotherhood or the bond is even stronger. Sure, sure it is. When you are at the same ease, you are just close to the podium. Just too much. I guess there could be one or two minutes away from the title. Clearly you see most of the players are their pick and you know, once you are to a pick, you want to win this title. So you can clearly see the hankai in them to win each. Let's wait and see. And Lukman has also been the head coach as Pasero did maybe have him as a substitute in the opening two group matches, but when he has been Lukman as well as he will be, they have really been an engine of some sort to the team. Lukman is on top of his game, three goals up to this moment. The fourth Nigerian to score more than three goals in Anafkan after JJ Okochia, Rashidi Akini and Odi Onigalo. He has gotten himself into the golden boot talks because the two top guys are already out, Nensu and the other guy from Dala. He has three goals so probably he could add more goals in the winter golden boot. So clearly he is a man who is on a mission. Balankas Negras, they bowed out in style? There is no shame in losing one into Nigeria. So I think they gave a good account of themselves. And if you look at the rankings, they are among the lonely ranked teams before the Anafkan began. So reaching to the quarters, it's a fair result for them. It's a fair result for them and also in the background you hear of the team building maybe trying to get back to where they were decades ago when they had the ex manuchos and they were conquering the rest of the continent and even going up to the world couple of those times. And also DRC sailing through the semifinal against Guinea. I found Guinea playing really, they were sitting at the back most of the time and maybe they call it in DRC did show. First of all it is interesting that DRC finally won a game exactly. And they need to score a penalty in open play. They had previously secured draws. Yesterday they came from behind and won a game. Shows they wanted as well. You look at the quality they have in the team. It's so hard to ignore them as well. It's so hard to ignore them and you're talking about the attackers in the midfielders and the attackers in Bogondas. Masoka has also been left back but he's been really he's been enterprising this particular tournament. Look at the goal that he scored yesterday from a dead ball. In a tournament every other player counts. You don't just count on strikers to get you goals because you know it's a tournament once you have beaten you out. So goals can come from many other players and probably someone like Masuaku someone who has played in the English Premier League has the experience he knows how to score. He's been scoring three kick at club level and for me scoring yesterday he didn't come as a shock for me because he has done it before. And also Yon Wisa proving that he is a brand for man playing at the top level doing well to slot that penalty home That's a wing probably defenders don't like to come up again. It's so fast, it's very aggressive it's harassing and he used this experience so well to slot in the penalty. It is at that point when you need senior players to step up and help the team and he's been having an amazing tournament. This could be his first tournament and so far so good for him. And maybe walk on my eyes that most of the teams let's say talk about DRC they have a great league they have their teams always regular in kafchampions league and kaf confedrations we're talking about the top oiza the mighty mazenbe but you look at this they are 23 months old 27 months old and none from that particular league we are talking about chan sure sure sure when you have a wide pool of players to select you have the luxury to pick the best sometimes to drop the best probably we'll be able to see the home best players feature in the chan that will be held in kenya but if you look at their squad it's majorly made up of players who play abroad apart from the simba centre defender that is inonga he was injured in the round of 16 he was injured in the round of 16 he was injured in the round of 16 so clearly he is a top top defender he has proven himself obviously the experience is secured with simba, the kafchampions league and confedrations cup has come in handy and the DRC have quality players even at the domestic league their clubs do perform well season in, season out they are former chan winners two time chan the most successful side we are looking forward to the next edition and see what they have for us in store can you host it? will you be ready? a question of time sure sure sure and of course that means that DRC are also through and what was going on in kabadyawara the Giniyan coach in living seru jirasi was he fit coming in just like 15 minutes to go and this the man who has gotten them to this tournament breaking records in germany with vfb stuttgart 17 goals in 15 marches phenomenal record man for a player who is coming from injury you cannot rush him so much you really have to work with the medical team and see whether he is fully ready I think probably he was advised by the medical team not to start him but looking at their previous performances in the previous editions I think this time around they tried reaching to the quarters quite something for them yeah quite something for them and you could see that the tournament was having at all on them they were not having responses as we had expected or seen them in earlier group marches Mali again a savory course today as we wind up tough tough at 8pm on channel 1 it was an exciting march but if you look at the previous records in the last 5 marches Ivercoast has won 4 times and drawn once but on the other side Mali hasn't lost in the last 8 marches AFKON marches they've won 4 times and drawn 4 times if you look at the way Mali are playing they are playing as a team it's a young team full of energy very aggressive you look at it this way you find that Ivercoast are under pressure you know pressure to perform in front of omfans and maybe have the cup win it at home Ivercoast will be more under pressure as compared to Mali yes indeed and also another interesting title will be Kepvard against South Africa this is a game that many have predicted that Kepvard will be able to replicate their form and some are saying they should get all their clothes out what they showed maybe in this tournament against Namibia when they really came out in a second how do you predict that much to go South Africa against Kepvard as we wind up it will be a close one the tournament has proven that there are no underdogs in the tournament so far and you look this will be the second meeting between these 2 sides of the Afkon last meeting 2013 which was the first edition for Kepvard and they managed to get a nil if they win it will be their first time to be advancing to the same if I know so probably my money is on Kepvard my money is after 90 minutes thank you so much Meshak it's been interesting to have you hope to have you again next week Meshak is a soccer writer football journalist par excellence thank you so much Meshak for your football knowledge hope to see you again next time anyway don't stay too far because up next I will be talking to satish company about speed racing a super bike series coming up next this is the touch line
