We don't really like the word boom but... BOOM!

No-one's really a stranger anymore to Yaya Toure's frightening right foot but poor Robert Kidiaba knows about it more than anyone now. The Democratic Republic of Congo goalkeeper might've threatened to steal the show in the Africa Cup of Nations - briefly - for his crazy, hopping goal celebration but he could only dive for cover for fear of his life after big Yaya wrapped his foot around this bouncing ball at the edge of the box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-GrGiupqGA Ivory Coast are up 2-1 in the semi final clash after Gervinho added the other for the orange jerseys but we are still secretly hoping that there's a comeback in store for Congo if only to see Kidiaba's antics again. He won't do this while Toure's around though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfWHregaR6A
