Summary: Anto is joined by African football correspondent Ed Aarons of the BBC and KickOff Magazine to take a moment to reflect on what was easily one of the most memorable finals in international football in many years as the magical story of Zambia came to a wonderful conclusion earlier in the week after an epic penalty shoot out in Gabon. As this edition unfolded it soon became a tournament memorable more for the teams than the stars who seem to line most of the big teams in Africa as a tiny Zambia defied all the odds and even the two tournament favorites - Ivory Coast and Ghana - to claim its very first silverware with some very interesting parallels apparent to the 1993 national team that fell tragically in an air disaster that took the lives of the entire team but one man who was left to lead the effort to rebuild it, Kalusha Bwalya. We also look at the reasons why some of these favorites did not succeed in Gabon/Equatorial Guinea and who were some of the emerging teams we may have to keep an eye on as the tournament makes a quick return a year from now. Lots of focus on Morocco and Senegal as the two biggest disappointments and we also look ahead to South Africa as teams such as Tunisia and the big three missing this time around - Cameroon, Nigeria and Egypt - look to rebound. We ponder whether the window has closed on Ivory Coast and what is in store for Ghana as a younger crop of players looks to repair what went wrong in the years ahead.
