I saw the game too - I agree he's not 'concussed' as such, he isn't currently suffering from PCS or anything like that.

What I am saying is that from what I can see, due to his concussion history he is clearly more susceptible than other people to concussions. That impact I saw in the final of the African Cup of Nations was really nothing, but he went down as if he'd had a real bang, and took a few minutes before he could even stand up again.

Evidence from at risk groups jockeys and American footballers shows that if you have had one concussion, you will get others more easily, even after you seem to have made a 'full recovery'. This has certainly been the case in my life.

And I agree I like him a lot more recently. He has been much less annoying on the pitch and seems to really care about all the problems back in his home country, I wish him well.
