Small countries playing an African final without conceding prior to the grudge match! What a feat for both Senegal and Gambia. Let one other country not take their own football seriously at any level. Years to come will tell for both serious and un serious nations. What is their population (like Croatia)?
Overage players lol
These guys are too old
