That's kinda disrespectful towards African nations don't you think? Just because they aren't on the level of Europe's elite means their competitions are waste of space, while every other continent gets to have their own tournaments? I'm guessing that it's a great festive period for the people over there. Though I'm not sure if it should be held every two years.

On a different topic, it's actually weird not being affected by the ACoN over a long time.

Not this year, but in a few earlier years I watched some and I remember quite exciting and tense games.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the competition in general.

Bertrand Traoré has been fantastic, he was outstanding against Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. Burkina Faso is unlikely to make it to the next round though.

Looks like City are going to have Bony and Toure back soon. Shocking performance even by Ivory Coast's low standards.

It's of a lower standard this year, but it's the third best continental tournament.

Don't forget the most successful African team is absent as well.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

What a goal Max Gradel!!

No Bony and Toure for us

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Ivory Coast just might win this thing.

Gutted Drogba won't be there with them.

They've already fluffed their lines in two previous finals in recent times. Not sure it will be third time lucky.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

yeah its going to be a bit sad for Drogba if Ivory Coast wins it... in Ghana there's Avram who i still quiet like tbh he's a descent guy, it will be easier to cheer for him but this Ivory Coast side deserves a win once. Should be intresting this final.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Ghana sure plays an exciting game

Even by African nations standards their fitness levels are just insane!

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

Always had a soft spot for Ghana since the day we signed Essien, hope they win the AFCON
