Marcel Desailly’s comments, made on December 21, expressing skepticism about Togo’s chances in the CAN 2013 and suggesting they would not advance to the second round, have proven to be inaccurate. Togo successfully qualified for the quarter-finals, creating history for the team. The comments by Desailly received criticism, with many suggesting that he had missed an opportunity to acknowledge Togo’s achievements and that being a good player does not necessarily make one a good analyst.
One commenter, amid olarewaju, mentioned that Desailly missed a chance to close the matter and pointed out that the Togolese team provided a beautiful response on the field. The comment also highlighted that being a good player does not automatically translate into being a good analyst. Overall, the sentiment expressed in the comments is that Togo’s success in the tournament served as a response to Desailly’s earlier skepticism.
