Mendy n mane dnt deserve those awards....it belongs to dt wizard Egypt keeper n aboubakar..
mendy didnt start d competition due to covid n dt Egypt keeper was a huge factor in the group stage n even in knockouts saving key penalties...

Mane and Egypt keeper deserves the award more than any player......
The end they say justifies the means, Mane's leadership in the team coupled with his 3 goals and 2 assists if am not mistaken is the game changer...

Kirkman:
Egyptian goalkeeper Gabaski should have been given the Best Goalkeeper award. He deserves it to the fullest. His performance in this competition proves it all. # My opinion.

Mendy is FIFA best goal keeper and he is from Africa. So CAF which is under FIFA felt that someone who is best in the world is actually the best in his continent.


That is why they gave him the award which they called "continental best goal keeper"


Remember that FIFA president was around, so CAF must do everything to please him.


Also Edourd Mendy actually merit the award after his penalty save helped Senegal to win the trophy.

Gabaski was outstanding, but his efforts did not make Egypt win the trophy, so he can't actually be the best.

The focus is on the person whose efforts landed his team the trophy and the person is Mendy.

ItisHi:
he played just 3 matches out of 7

No be by no of matches alone bro one single match can change everything so I believe the Egyptian keeper was better suited for the best keeper than Mendy...

lekoni2:

Please mention an instance where the award for best goal keeper was given to the team that lost. Please mention even in club football like champions league. You're just criticizing the African tournament. It was dirty though but it is what it is... Congrats to mane and Mendy

P


So you agree that gabaski bested mendy

Onyi90:

Conceded least of goals in the tournament

Gabaski conceded just one also from penalty

I thought awards were given strictly based on outstanding beautiful performance in a competition and not on merits?

Kingcalls:


Gabaski that played only 3 games... how do u guys think

And so what? He outshone all the keepers in those matches

Kirkman:

I thought awards were given strictly based on optimum beautiful performance and not on merits?

Gabaski robbed

ItisHi:
sometimes you post too much crap. Someone with just 3caps out of normal 7 is more deserving that Mendy that was exceptional in winning the cup and also had full caps?

he gat more saves than Mendy, saved Egypt all tru d knockout n u learned nothing seeing him winning the man of the match performance in dt final?

Goalkeeper Gabaski of Egypt deserved that award more than Mendy. any ways, congrats to Mendy and the Senegalese team.

Loud it o!!

How Mendy take win that award please someone should explain to me
Caf with their political football

Research before you talk, Gabaski played only three complete games( Cameron and Senegal) and 32 minutes against Ivory Coast!!!

CaptainFM1:


Important 3!

Not the ones Nigeria crashed out after winning the 3. Just imagine, the only country that won their 3 group stage matches in the tournament. Who does 9points help in group stages if you cannot win knockout stages.

someone with just 3 matches can't win over another with solid 7 matches and cup winner. Not done anywhere

paulolee:

Very good... mane presently is the raining African player of the year... and why doesn't he deserve the balon dor...after helping Senegal win their first ever AFCON, scoring the winning penalty.... after copa is the reason y u said messi deserved balon dor ... so mane also deserves it ,regardless of what happens ..
Player of the tournament as well

garfield1:



And so what? He outshone all the keepers in those matches

U are a joke... how did he outshine all keepers ... played 3 games and suddenly, he should win best keeper against the one that played 7 times and conceded only 2 goals and still won the cup

silverlinen:

Mumu how many clean sheet did Gabaski of Egypt had
Your delusion and foolishness is so alarming
Go find your facts

you are the foolish one. Gbaski played only 3 matches, how is he supposed to have more cleansheet to Mendy's CS. Think well with your dull brain

paulolee:

he gat more saves than Mendy, saved Egypt all tru d knockout n u learned nothing seeing him winning the man of the match performance in dt final?

Since when did they start awarding best goalies by number of saves ?? When citys goalie won best keeper on the EPL, did they tell u he had the highest saves or most cleanshits ?? U reasoning is flawed ....

Sadio Mendy in midfield is am immense player

silverlinen:

Even as a Chelsea fan happy for Senegal win, Mendy doesn't have any business with that award. Egyptian goal keeper is more deserving.

Oga,mendy played 5 games,conceded 2 and those two were from open play.gabaski played 4 and conceded one from penalty.gabaski made 16 saves,Mendy 8.gabaski totally bested Mendy. You are the joke boy

At the end of the day, failure is not rewarded even if it is second best. This is why 1 gold medal is rated higher than 100 silver medals on the medals table.

He would have won the awards had Egypt emerged the champion.

Mendy n mane dnt deserve those awards....it belongs to dt wizard Egypt keeper n aboubakar..
dt Egypt keeper was a huge factor in the knockouts saving key penalties n even made saves in this final bt mendy was silent all tru d competition..

He played 4 actually.

...Mendy played 5games kept 3 clean sheets...gabaski played 3 and half games kept two and half clean sheets... goal keepers are judged by number of clean sheets... gabaski is second choice that's why he didn't play much games

ISRAELKING01:
Mendy is not deserving of that award, the Egyptian keeper Gabaski is more deserving... Politics being played by CAF....

did gabasky play group games abi u think na one match de judge...? Mendy have been there from group stage till final

Kingcalls:


What do u guys smoke?? Which sarr?? Mane scored 3 goals with 2 assists out of their 9 goals...mane scored the only goal Senegal scored in the group stage

I tot you are an adult. Must you Insult or be rude before you make your point....
Sarr made a lot of crosses and passes that could have lead to goals if they had a clinical striker. But it's unfortunate that all eyes were on mane.
