Togo is set to play a historic quarter-final match against Burkina Faso, and there’s a sense of excitement and anticipation in Lomé. The entire country is rallying behind the Eperviers, and there’s a strong desire to celebrate a potential victory.
Despite earlier doubts, Basile Boli, a columnist for Africa Top Sports.com, noted that Togo has the potential to create another surprise in the tournament. The reactions on Africa Top Sports.com have been passionate, with some expressing strong opinions. Boli emphasized the importance of considering the context in which Marcel Desailly made his comments in January. At that time, the Togo team faced uncertainties, including the absence of key players like Adebayor and Agassa Kossi. However, the team overcame challenges to qualify from a tough group (Group D) that included Ivory Coast, Tunisia, and Algeria.
Basile Boli also expressed his belief that Togo could win against Burkina Faso, acknowledging that the quarter-final encounter would be a significant challenge. Despite any controversies, he maintained that he always predicted Ivory Coast would ultimately win the tournament.
