Today is D-Day! Burkina Faso is gripped with fevered excitement hours ahead of their historic Africa Cup of Nations final against Nigeria at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg. Every two people you meet in the West African landlocked nation are sharing gossips about today’s clash. Joy, uncertainty, fear and fury can described how they feel about the fate of their team.

Supersport.com stormed the dusty streets of Ouagadougou on Sunday morning as locals bustled their kids on rusty and rackety motorbikes to church under the blazing tropical sun. Every face was smiling sweetly and everybody wants spare some time to talk generously about what will happen in South Africa today.

“Look, over confidence will kill Nigeria,” said Ahmed Issiaka, a 31-year-old roadside mechanic, who lives in the capital.

“When I read and hear what pundits are saying and how the Nigerians are reacting to these misleading and paper previews, I feel they’d collapse tonight if the trophy eludes them. As for us Burkinabe, we’ll play our game very relaxed and when you do any task that way, you are more inspired and creative because the pressure on you seems very less.”

Burkina Faso have close to 56% of practicing Christians and 37% of Muslims, who have been living side by side peacefully for decades, but the national cause of today will likely unite them more, as some Muslims implore their fellow Christian brothers to intensify their prayers for the Stallions.

“On Friday, we the Muslims had our general prayers for our team to win the Cup. Today is Sunday and it’s the turn of our Christian brothers to pray for the same purpose that is uniting the whole nation at the moment. We are all the same today, praying to the same God to help us overcome Nigeria in the Afcon final,” Ibrahima Ouatarra, a 42-year-old pharmacist said.

Burkina Faso women are traditionally cold to these kinds of football excitements, but that has changed. They say they are behind their team and will kiss every players once they arrive with the trophy.

“No other day in the history of this country has been greater than this. We are experience something different. My mother, grandmother and sisters are all excited about our team playing the Afcon final,” Sandrine Kabore said.

“I’m waiting for tonight to give my fiancée the answer whether I will marry him. He asked me for it last month and I have been thinking. However, if the Stallions win tonight I’ll call him and say I’ve agreed to marry him,” she said.

Mariame Coulibally, who runs a local restaurant in central Ouagadougou told supersport.com she’d offer free service two hours to the game and do the same till Monday evening.

“I have enough stock and I have cooked enough to feed people for free till tomorrow. This is my contribution to this cause. We have to unite, fight and do all we can to motivate fans till final victory.”

Let them keep dreaming,by Gods grace we'll carry the day!.our players should be careful and avoid complacency.

Very true. They have 11 men, and we have 11 men too.

All these "Nigeria will definitely win" guys. Do you have information that all of us don't?

We want to win yes, but those Burkina Faso boys are not coming there to joke around. If we want to win, we'll have to earn it on the field of play.

I was so against the Ghanian team because their fans were too arrogant. Seems Nigerian fans are even more so.

Well The End Will Justify Thanks Boko Haram Ooo Burkina Faso

na wa

na wa before una say we no be anybody now na over confidence which one una dey bokina babes

Hmmm

No comment

The most important thing is that the players themselves are not overconfident.... Focus and determination!!

so if we win, that girl down there will say no to her man?

“I’m waiting for tonight to give
my fiancée the answer whether I
will marry him. He asked me for it
last month and I have been
thinking. However, if the Stallions
win tonight I’ll call him and say
I’ve agreed to marry him,” she
said.

All i know is that I will celebrate at the end of today.

The part where s lady says she'll give a 'yes' to her suitor's proposal if their team wins is funny indeed.
I'm sorry for the guy o. He seems he's gonna get some 12 inches nail!!

Nigerians should be careful about their utterances..... Even though it is gud to be optimistic, but overconfidence can lead to our worst nightmare!!!!!!! Nigeria, beware of Burkinabes......
