Last night was unnecessarily tense, and having watched most of it (bad connection means I lost about 10 minutes each half during drinks break for some reason), I'm really glad there was no ET to play. Some cool direct football but it was really more of the same since KOs: lob the ball up and try chest it down to run past and cross, and try from far.

Felt smart for backing S Africa and they really needed to have done better with their chances, DRC's attempts were much more direct, no goalie respecting himself would have feared those attempts.

CLS63: I'm rooting for you and your outright win, but mainly, rooting for myself. Surely we can't be expecting another shootout in the final?

Hey guys you know i like to get payments sorted asap, so start sending me your BTC addresses for rewards.

Prizes:
We have 68 mBTC (50 mBTC sponsorship + 18 buy ins) and roughly 224$ (5 buy ins) in the pool. 23 players in total.
1. Place - 30 mBTC
2. Place - 15 mBTC
3. Place - 10 mBTC
4. Place -  8 mBTC
5. Place -  4 mBTC

Best overall yellow cap - whole $ fund, so 224$ minus any tx fees.


Best overall yellow cap is shared between, elche, casperBGD and myself so for that i need your USDT over TRON addresses. This part is already over and separate funds so I guess it could have been paid even earlier

[Igebotz]

It was written in the sky - The power of second chance is always the greatest, deep down I knew how it was going to end but I was afraid to back it up. Odd was around 15-20 after their last group stage game.

I've never seen Nigeria play this awful since the start of the tournament. The best team won.


Congratulations buwatress - I underestimated you again. Well deserved.

@trofo - address to be sent tomorrow.

Never underestimate the power of the best losers; this could be the story of Portugal's Euro adventure. I believe Ivory Coast has a strong chance of winning the title.

[darxiaomi]

Wooooooooooooooooo hohohohoho lets go, what a "recover" in the last game taking the 5 position. I thinked more people are gonna support ivory coas, but better for me  .

Yes man it was like that, you and me were the two supporting that idea, i remain faithful to that and put them to win.

Congratulations to the other winners , enjoy your gains, i see you in the other tournaments.

Regarding Yellow Caps (Free Bets) for the remainder of the competition, we will combine the total amount of Superbru points for the Semi-Finals, 3rd place game and the Final.

The winner(s) will win a Free Bet for 3 mBTC.

Yellow Cap for 3 mBTC for the Semi-Finals + Finals goes to myself and darxiaomi with 4.5 points

I knew defending 5th would be difficult, and I got both games wrong.
I needed any Nigeria win other than 1-0 to still make it, but Nigeria didn't deserve anything from the game yesterday - they were blown off the pitch.

I'm really happy for Haller - it is a great story with everything he's gone through. He scored the winning goals both in the SF and in the final, and for yesterday's goal it takes incredible skill (and some luck, of course) to do.

Congrats to all the winners, see you in the next one.

[CLS63]

It was really sad for me that Nigeria lost the chance of winning the cup after reaching the finale. The AFCON in this year was already full of disappointments for me.It was really very interesting to see buwaytress winning a contest as well. Congratulations bro. You deserved it all the way!!!

[buwaytress]

Congratulations buwatress - I underestimated you again. Well deserved.

That was a terrible clutch performance from all of us at the top. I went Nigeria 1-0, and I saw all of us did the same for both games. Have to say it was our luck results didn't go as expected, so no one took advantage. Happy for this unexpected win, offsets all the other pools, and probably gives me an early bag of participation fees for next season -- if I don't gamble it all away first! Nice to see representation from the continent in the top 5 of AFCON. Proves you guys know a thing or two... Cote d'Ivoire proves hosts are a good bet for outright, huh?

Wooooooooooooooooo hohohohoho lets go, what a "recover" in the last game taking the 5 position. I thinked more people are gonna support ivory coas, but better for me  .

South Africa and them took the game all the way, both deserved what they got in the end, the Senegal Egypt tactic of sitting back for penalties like last AFCON didn't work.

Ouch man, yeah I was really hoping Nigeria would win for your outright, I stayed away from betting most of this tournament, and when I did, I lost, so winning this pool is pretty damned sweet. See you guys in 2025 in Morocco!

[casperBGD]

buwaytress, congrats on a overall win
needed that goal from Ivory Coast to retain 2nd place, and happy with it (although that goal brought me a lose in BSFL round)

trofo, I will send my BTC and Tron addresses later today, since I am eligible for rewards in both categories

nevertheless, after podium in last AFCON (won a t-shirt then), now another podium on AFCON, seems that I am good in predicting upsets in African tournaments

once more, congrats to all that got rewards

[slaman29]

Congratulations to the winners!!

I was climbing back up too slow, and the final result, I needed 3 points to have hope, I think anyone who got 3 points however way would have won something. Nice one on you darxiaomi you are enjoying such amazing luck this week. Big freebet win in SB ANN thread, big victory in BSFL and final day drama for AFCON.

It was nice guys, can't believe this is our 2nd AFCON together, see you in a few years hopefully, thank you to Sponsors once more and organizers. This was a great tournament to participate in.

congrats to the winners, get me your addresses asap guys. Wanna pay out promptly as always.

Really sorry mate, but we the old forum guys need to defend our place, if you stay you are gonna be one of ours in the future.

[LTU_btc]

Congrats to all winners! It was good tournament to watch, but so unpredictable that I was barely makesd bets after many loses. Amazed by Ivory Cost, team that was so many times on verge of elimination - in group stage, in knockouts, but they finally won, wow.
Still don't know my final position as it doesn't lads for me on Superbru, but I will be somewhere in the bottom. I'm seriously considering skipping upcoming pools of knockout tournaments because I'm performing terrible there.

Address sent to PM. You can now remove the emoji. 

I'm eating good this season, I've secured the fess for the next season pools. But I may do buwatress and gamble it away before next season    it was a great tournament all round. Didn't do well in the last edition and I took this personal.

[nelson4lov]

Congratulations to everyone who won. Glad to see Igebotz make the cut at 3rd place. By the time I found out about the pool, it was already too late so I had to let it go. Congrats to buwaytress as well for the overall win. Trofo I will keep an eye out for new and exciting pools like this one in the future.

[buwaytress]

Hey all! Thanks again for the amazing time, winners are happy no matter what. Just writing to say I've paid out all the yellow cap rewards. Well done Trofo, elche and casperBGD! 74.74 in USDT each, I took care of most of the fees but couldn't round it up to 75, I'm sure you don't mind. Thank you to Cro2 for trusting me as mini-escrow
