⚽ Asian Cup final Saturday + African Cup Final Sunday (hexbear.net)

Qatar - Jordan, 6pm Qatar time on Saturday

Ivory Coast - Nigeria, 8pm Ivorian time on Sunday

Qatar have about a 72% chance to win in Asia, and the African one could go either way. I predict that Arabs will win the Asian cup and West Africans will win the African one.

Qatar are defending champions. Jordan pulled off a 6/1 upset in the semi (14.2% chance) beating South Korea 2-0 and doing it convincingly.

Ivory Coast scraped through a bad 1st round, including a shock 4-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea, then knocked out potential winned on penalties and Mali in dramatic fashion (a 121st-mimute goal to conch it)

You'll definitely find them on strikeout dot im; use an adblocker as always. And footyfull dot com is likely to have it for the watch-later crowd.

spoilers for Africa

Ivory Coast's tournament:

Lose two group games, including 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea.
Be the lowest-ranked of the 16 to scrape through to the next round
Go 1-0 down in the round-of-16, stay 1-0 for 82 minutes
Go 1-0 down again in the quarter-finals
Win the semifinal on a goal you scored accidentally: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=uMIgyns5ikk
Go 1-0 down in the final
Win

Their goal-difference across the tournament was 0 (penalty-shootouts don't count); Senegals was +7' Nigeria's was +5; I don't think any team has ever won a tournament with such poor results.
