Ivory Coast qualified as the best loser but have now made it to the finals. They had a second chance and took it seriously. Don't play with the second chance life gives you.

Ivory Coast came from a one-man down to equalize at the dying minutes of the match against Mali. They eventually won the game. Don't give up on yourself! Don't look down on people too.

Senegal did not lose any match at group stage, but when they played against Ivory Coast that lost 2 matches, they were eliminated. Such is life

Ivory Coast mobilized support for Morocco to beat Zambia so that they can qualify. Some of those supporting you may not really like you. They may just be using your success for their gain. Morocco went home after helping Ivory Coast to qualify to the final. Don't let anyone use you for any gain that does not benefit you.

Nigeria's second goal at the semi-finals was disallowed because of an earlier foul at the build up. The goal was not only cancelled but South Africa were awarded a penalty that gave them the equalizer. Such is life, when you think you have lost, God may give you a redemption to turn ashes into beauty.
