Does anyone know the chances of a Morocco vs Senegal final, is it possible?

WARNING: As of 2018, travel to Northern Mali remains extremely dangerous and is therefore strongly discouraged. Violent crime, such as kidnapping and armed robbery, is common in the regions of northern and central Mali. Violent crime is a particular concern during local holidays and seasonal events in Bamako, its suburbs, and Mali’s southern regions. Roadblocks and random police checkpoints are commonplace throughout the country, especially at night. Terrorist and armed warlord groups continue plotting kidnappings and attacks in Mali. They may attack with little or no warning, targeting night clubs, hotels, restaurants, places of worship, Western diplomatic missions, and other locations frequented by foreigners.(10 May 2018)

was it last afcon that some coach was sacked during the competition and then the team went on to reach the final? or am i going mad
>>152625765yes he got sacked at the end of the group stage and then Cote D'Ivoire finished 3rd in their group and scraped through as a best third placed team and then won the entire thing it was quite crazy
>>152625741>7 years agoi'm sure they've cleaned it up by now
