Morocco faces Nigeria tomorrow in the semi-final
Rising tension before the AFCON semi-final
Nigeria's Erik Shil, the Nigeria's head coach, sparked major controversy ahead of the Morocco semi-final.
The Tunisian Football Federation is seeking a new coach after firing Sami Trabelsi following AFCON exit.
Among the candidates for the job is Erik Shil, after Nigeria's impressive results at AFCON.
A video circulated today showing a Tunisian journalist addressing the Nigeria coach, saying: 'Coach, welcome to Tunisia'.
Shil smiled in Arabic: 'Inshallah!' prompting questions about his possible move to Tunisia after AFCON.
Punchline 1: His Arabic is so sharp the ball dodges defenders just to listen.
Punchline 2: If AFCON tactics were a cookbook, he'd be serving instant final-flavor linguine.
