Talking about Burkina Faso, what a fairy tale it would be if they ended up snatching the crown from Nigeria? I know my Naija friends are going to crucify me for daring to suggest that they are not the champions in waiting.
I know Nigeria is favorites and, to be fair, the manner in which they reached the final indicates that they could just snatch it. They have really surprised people in this 2013 Afcon and have brought to their country.
The Nigerians, who will be playing in their seventh final, will now meet rank outsiders, the Burkinabe, in the Johannesburg final on Sunday.
