African Cup Of Nations

Ivory coast are cruising to be honest, it might end up 5-0 or something, its that easy and i fancy Drogs to get another, he looks really sharp today, couldve scored 3 already. Benin are terrible at the back. That Aruna Dindane can't buy a goal, must have a square head lol. Poor bastard, he looks a tad pissed off hes missed some unbelievable headed oppertunities.

EDIT: And 6 mins later, Dindane scores a great header aww bless the fucker, finally got his goal. Great ball in by Drogs.

Benin scored one back ended 4-1,Ivory Coast is though to the knock out faze.

Drogba played very well.

Nigeria - Mali 0-0 HT

It was a poor game with Mali needing a point to qualify and Nigeria a victory to keep their chances alive,45 minutes to play lets see what happens.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Looks like Mikel will be back soon

lol, i don't mind that

Mali hit the crossbar towards the end but got the point they needed.

[True_Blue 469]

Nigeria can still go thru if the win by 2-0 and if Mali losses to Ivory Coast with not scoring a goal.I belive it won't happen.

Essien has been nothing short of excellent today. Scored one and created the other for Ghana.

I totally agree! I hope he can continue this sort of form when he comes back to Chelsea. He was one of the best players on the pitch today for sure!

Ivory Coast winning 1-0 atm, however should Mali make a comeback, and Nigeria go out, Chelsea FC have a private jet on standby to bring Obi back.

The good news is that his suspension should have expired (3 games ) now.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We are in desperate need of midfielders and getting Mikel back soon would be fantastic.

[Fulham Broadway 16,918]

Though theres probably a special FA rule that says Mikel wont be able to play till he waits another three games.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

You're probably right

[Ollie 4,400]

well its good to see Drogs get another goal with another quality finish, ive got a feeling Nigeria will go through tho. Nigeria are playing against the weakest team in the group and even tho they haven't scored in the tournament yet, i can see them getting a couple eventually. i can also see ivory coast winning by more than 1 vs mali because they are very dominant so far. Plenty of time to go.

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Nigeria havn't had a shot on target in the past 35 minutes!!!!!

[PaulHopkins 1]

Ivory Coast now 2-0 - Drogba got 1

Nigeria now 1-0 - Mikel scored

Nice to see our boys on form

As things stand both Ivory Coast and Nigeria go through.

[Ollie 4,400]

yeah mikel header with an open goal and that 2nd ivory coast goal had really changed things. just over half an hour left, things will probably get worse for mali now i think. I see Ivory coast and Nigeria getting more.
