"Six months is a significant amount of time but at least it's a specific ban. At the last Nations Cup, Slim Jdidi, ironically from Tunisia, was suspended indefinitely after a poor showing in his semi-final and he went on to make Fifa's shortlist for the 2014 World Cup."

The final is Sunday between Ghana and Ivory Coast with the 3/4 game on Saturday between DR Congo and Equatorial Guinea.
