IamCharles123:

In 2012 afcon Zambia won ivory coast with a penalty in the final. During the 2013 afcon, I could remember a commentator saying ivory coast did not lost a match in 2012 afcon.

So it seems they don't record the result penalty as winning or losing in soccer.

Let's not argue on this bro. In every game you either win, draw or lose regardless of how it's been achieved

In their entire Afcon history, BENIN is yet to win a game in 90mins or even 120 mins of football.

They have played 13 Afcon games in their history.

Won None, Drawn 5 and lost 8 times.

Four of those five draws were at this ongoing Afcon and it has done enough to land them in the Quarter finals against all bloody odds.

Football does defy logic several times .

Well said bro
King Solomon also said this :

The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

You will never know sorrow in your life my bro,we Africans esp. Nigerians always derive pleasure from disparaging our very own even if it was apparent that the white men were our greatest enemy,you can see how white officiated against Africans esp Cameroon in the on going women's WC.

I watched the match in question and Benin rep. really deserved the winning, they played good football,Morocco held them one all draw which led to penalties,then what's the fuss about it

Thank you very much bro

In the same way, the Beninese can also claim that the Nigerians (Yoruba) players are Beninese.

Guys, I am a beninois Yoruba from Porto-Novo exactly.
First of all, not all Yoruba in this world are Nigerians. That one, you guys need to have it sunk in your mind. Ok..even in Sierra Leone, you have people of Yoruba descent.
Yoruba is the second most spoken language in Benin republic, after the aja-fon and its derivatives. We believe here in Benin that aja, fon, egun are all varieties of the same language.
Having said all this, the history of Yoruba people in Benin dates way back to the Oyo empire which used to include towns like Sabè, ketu in modern Benin republic.
Some Yoruba people in Benin come also from different waves of immigration dating back to 1700's, as results of islam propagation, wars, starvations and epidemies in old Oyo empire. You guys need to read history books na...

One of the greatest singers in Congo is Yoruba
His name is Kofi Olomide ...
I think his father is from Togo

How's Koffi Olomide Yoruba? Because the Olomide sounds Olumide? Koffi Olomide has no ties with Yoruba kingdom and infact, Koffi Olomide is his stage name and not real/birth name. His real names are Antoine Christophe Agbepa Mumba.

I'm an 100% fan of his. So stop misleading the public please.
