Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Didier Drogba started his first game since a knee operation last month and scored in Ivory Coast's 2-0 African Nations Cup warm-up win over Kuwait in Kuwait City on Saturday. Drogba, who came on as a substitute last week for his English club Chelsea in his first match back after a month-long lay-off, got the second goal of the game. It was the African footballer of the year's 30th goal for the Ivorians in 47 international appearances. His Chelsea team-mate Salomon Kalou had opened the scoring six minutes earlier for the team coached by Frenchman Gerard Gili, who replaced German Uli Stielike last Monday.

Drogba11CFC 108 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Who do you think will win? After what happened with the Teddy Bear, I'm hoping Sudan lose all three of their games. It would be hilarious to see them marching through the streets calling for their opponents to be executed. I wouldn't be surprised if Ghana do well, though my money would be on Cameroon.

Ollie 4,400 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 i hope and think Ivory coast will win it. They have great players but its gonna be one hell of a tournament. Can't wait for it, should be interesting. Maybe the closest one in history. How can Zambia, Guinea, Namibia, Zambia, Sudan and Benin qualify inteat of Togo? Group D looks the group of death.

ChrisGnu 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Drogba, Kalou, Kolo & Yaya Toure & Zokora. My money is on Ivory Coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Swede 4 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) I find this much more interesting than the Copa America. There are more Chelsea players participating here and the matches are played on good hours of the day, not in the middle of the night like they are in Copa America. Although I like the Chelsea lads to do well it would be nice if they were knocked-out in the group stage and could return in time for the Liverpool match.

James 5,312 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Drogba, Kalou, Kolo & Yaya Toure & Zokora. My money is on Ivory Coast. Boka, Kalou's older brother and Arouna Kone of Sevilla aswell. Im going for Ivory Coast to win it aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Essien hit the post with a wonderful header. Ghana really should be 2-0 up at the minimum, Muntari and Agago have hit the post and Gyan volleyed wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
