This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly. It's an Afcon special for teams left.

Who's going to win it? Hosts and favourites Morocco made it to the semis with a comfortable

win over Cameroon. Brahim Diaz, the star of the tournament so far with another goal. Their squad looks so strong and they have an overhead kick specialist in Ayubal Kabi. Just the two so far this tournament, actually not that great for him. Nigeria have won all their games so far, Victor Osman in the goals. He scored and set one up in their quarterfinal with Algeria, which includes the fight over the yogurt. More of that and on. The other semi sees Senegal play Egypt, Mo Salad with the crucial goal in a three-two win over coat de Bois, Senegal squeezing past Marley and the other. Also, we'll discuss how this tournament's going down across the continent and discuss CAF's unilateral decision to change Afcon to once every four years. We'll do all that plus your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. On the panel today, Barry Glendeney, welcome. Hi, Max. And two of our men out in Morocco, Jonathan Wilson. Hello, sir. Good morning. How you doing? I'm all right. And we loved having him on last time. Assasu Abayuwana. Welcome, Assasu. How are you? Very well. Thank you, guys. Nice to see you after a year or more. Yeah, once a year. It's our annual visit, Assasu. Let's start. Should we do the football first? and then we'll do the sort of the off the pitch stuff in part three.

Hosts of favourites Morocco into the semi-finals.

They quarter final.

They beat Cameroon 2-0.

Pretty dominant in this, Isar, so I thought.

They'd never beat them on AFCOM before, but they are looking pretty strong now,

even though they didn't necessarily start the tournament

brilliantly?

Well, you know, as the late Stephen Keshe, who won Neafcon as a player in 1994 and as head coach

in 2013 told me, a tournament is game by game.

So you don't think about a trophy when you're playing the opening game. You don't even think about the trophy when you have a semi-final to play.

Every game is a final in itself. And as you play the tournament, you hope that the team gels more

in terms of its technical cohesion, in terms of being

able to stick to a tactical plan, in terms of being able to adjust to the opponent, because,

you know, a team may have to play a different formation two or three times in a game,

depending on what the opponent does in the game.

So I think it is just critical that teams have the ability to adjust and to do what is required to win.

And I think the greatest thing about this Afghan, and I've been covering Afghans since 19,

as a player, as a player, as a journalist, I've been covering Afghans since 1998.
