THE Copa Africa organizer, Ivory Coast, need a loss or a draw for Cameroon in the upcoming match against Gambia to secure a place in the “16” of the institution, as one of the four best third teams in the group stage.
However, with appearances like the one against Equatorial Guinea, from which he was defeated 4-0 at home, he has no future and Didier Drogba is the first to know this. The Ivorian “legend” and top scorer of his country was speechless at the sight of his countrymen’s “crush” by an inferior team. And now they risk early disqualification.

Of course, Drogba over-defended the footballers and “threw” them to the federation. “We have to ask ourselves why this happened and make decisions that will only concern football. Because as a country we cannot even organize such a great event and of course make a decent march”.
The same never managed to win the Copa Africa as a footballer, yet he is regarded by his countrymen as the greatest of all time. Not just for his exploits on the pitch, but off it with his charity work.
