Africa Cup of Nations 2010

[Ollie 4,400]

The matches started officially today with Angola the hosts, taking on Mali who look a good bet to win the competition, real dark horses imo with the likes of S.Keita, F.Kanoute, M.Diarra and co. Jesus, what an opening game. Angola were 4-0 up with 11 minutes to go, and 4-1 up with 2 mins plus stoppage time to go and it finished 4-4.

3 Matches tomorrow, including the Drog

Malawi vs Algeria - 1:45pm

Ivory Coast vs Burkina Faso - 4pm

Ghana vs Togo - 6:30pm

Great start so far, bring it on!

Astonishing that game was. A league 2 side facing a team like Aston Villa wouldn't give away a 4 goal lead in the space of under 11 minutes

[Steve 10,227]

Cant believe that, 4-4 crazy.

Youcan understand it when sides take their foot of the pedal at 4-0 up , but there should be alarm bells ringing when 2 are pulled back. Oh god reminds me of the murderers in Istanbul...

Malawi 3-0 AlgeriaIvory Coast 0-0 Burkina Faso

2 weird results.

Ivory Coast didn't seem to have any cutting edge, dominated the game but didnn't create too much. Bakari Kone missed the most chances.

Nothing going to plan so far

What a nightmare, a that money gone like that - that's a lesson about how NOT to gamble right there!

On a side note it was interesting to hear Didier Drogba's comments in this football article on the African Nations. He says the players are 'shattered' after the Togo shooting, do you reckon that explains why they only drew 0-0? And should the tournament have been cancelled because of the attacks?

The pitch looks terrible. The grass is just getting cut up so easily.

[Steve 10,227]

Eboue has been given a straight red card. Terrible tackle to be fair.
