Agree. They are playing home.
It is nice game. If it wasn't that far between supporters and the pitch that stadium would be magnificent.

Got a lot of respect for Nigeria, which was amplified by learning about the Biafran War couple years back. With that being said, rooting for Ivory Coast
Nigeria take the lead.
Let's gooooooooooo
Brilliant header.
Most stadiums in Africa can't afford to not be multi-purpose unfortunately, but yeah it would take the intensity up a notch
Captain Marvel with another goal
This ref, my god, could he be more one-sided?
Was Infantino at the Asian Cup final yesterday?
Infantino nodding off.
Not a penalty then? Sticks his leg out, doesn't get the ball, trips the attacker.
Not sure why that's not a penalty.
Just turned on 10 mins ago. How on earth are Ivory Coast losing? Absolutely battering Nigeria
Ugh @Rood
Deserved equalizer especially from Kessie
Well deserved equalizer
Aina looks poor, everyone looks bad and nervous
Set piece goal from Nigeria. Strong header after a wayward clearance.
Portuguese Southgate really must understand the rest of this game can’t be played with no midfield.
Calvin Bassey is a loon
Iwobi is a really bad player, very very weak and lazy.
It is unfortunate we have no options in midfield

Just when you think they have used up all their lives!
Ivory Coast playing well enough to deserve a goal TBF - makes a change
Indeed, but he won't
He's a turnstile. "Oh you need a lane to drive at our defense? Here you go good sir"
That overhead kick would have been an amazing final goal. Unlucky.
Osimenh looks average to me. Is he really with 150m or whatever stupid money Napoli want?
Even Mbappe would look average in that team
Great finish 2-1
That's a wonderful goal by Haller and I'm conflicted because he deserves happiness but not in this shirt
Un gol pour cote dvoire
They've done a Portugal.
where are the Nigeria supporters ….seems like total ivory
Insane finish that!
Lovely finish.
Been a brilliant final. What a story if Cote D'ivoire win this, they were gone in the groups until Ghana had that epic meltdown. 
Said it before but Nigeria are so lopsided as a squad, endless forwards and wide attackers of good quality but barely any decent CMs or full backs, infact I'd say Ekong is their only defender with any presence.
Adingra going to be another one Brighton sell for 70-80m in a few years, another game with fantastic wing play from him.

He's very good but he won't quite kill the premier league like Haaland has done.
Would be ideal for Arsenal with his presence.
I mean it makes sense, the tournament is in Côte d’Ivoire, they are the home team.
With KDB feeding him he probably would
Don’t think he’d suit the premier league. He needs space to play to his strengths.
The shithousery has begun.
They are busy defending Greenwood on Twitter
