"Taah! that one na lie, na because we never jam any serious team yet, from next match now dem go dey display their real self.'

"Our true test will come in the Quarter Finals. I don't think we can dominate today's Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire or Cameroon. If we meet a Team that's well balanced, then we can say we are the tournament's favorites."

"Morocco players should preparing their holiday to watch the remaining afcon or just go back to their clubs Cameroon is thrashing those boys clean."
