African Cup Of Nations

Mikel you twat, I wanted you back! Oh well, its Ghana vs Nigeria in the next round, meaning we get either Mikel or Essien back. I want Nigeria to win

[Blue_Swede 4]

Of course it's nice to see our players doing well, but as you say, it would really help if we could get some of the back, especially for the upcoming match against Liverpool. I think we can do Reading and Pompey (their form ain't the best) without them but Liverpool will be a hare one.

Ghana 2 - 1 Nigeria FT

What an unbelievable game, that is arguably one of the most passionate affairs I have ever seen. Quality football from start to finish, the atmosphere was incredible and both teams were excellent. Essien wore his heart on his sleeve, scored the equaliser, took up the captain's armband and after Agogo scored, collapsed to the ground in delight. A Ghanaian hero, he may just have booked them a place in the final.

That was a great game i am happy we got obi back before essien because its essiens home country. This will be the only time it will be in ghana in his generation mikel is 21 he will get his chance.

Now we have obi back he will play the anchor role ballack and lampard can cause damage.

[James 5,198]

Doesnt look like Drogba or Kalou will be back just yet, Ivory Coast are currently 5-0 up vs Guinee

[Layla 0]

Yeh lol just seen but hey they both scored so go them

Just seen Essiens goal woha!Great goal

[Ollie 4,400]

I'm really hoping Ivory Coast win the tornament, they were absolutely brilliant in that last 30 mins and they have not won it for ages (16 years) and they came so close last time when they lost on pens in the final to Egypt. For Chelsea i guess i'd like to see Drogs back but i would rather see ivory coast win the cup of nations. What a team. They always wanna score, when they get towards goal, they have 2 or 3 players waiting to tap it in. Awesome fitness, awesome strength, awesome commitment, awesome team.

I'd rather see that then least both players would come back on a high as well.

Kalous goal tehehe lucikly he did tap it in not just let it roll lol

Drogbas Catona style celebration teheh

[Ollie 4,400]

kalou shouldve got on his hands and knees and headed it in lol. Wouldve been a right piss take and i think he thought of doing it too before thinking "if i do that, someones gonna smash me for taking the piss"

[Layla 0]

Hahaha yeh lol would've been tehehe but cruel for them lol.But seeing it thought he was just gana it roll and mess it up lol.

Teehehe gotta love it.

Well the Chelsea players are definitely the stars of this tournie, and what a game the Ivory Coast one was . Another couple of good Qtr Finals today Egypt v the unfancied Angola, and Tunisia v Cameroon.

[Fulham Broadway 16,845]

Defending champions Egypt are through to the semi-finals after beating a spirited Angola 2-1. They are joined in the last four by Cameroon, for whom Stephane Mbia swooped for a winner in extra time to give them a 3-2 victory over Tunisia having already held the lead twice during the game.

Think Ivory Coast will do it though

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Essien, Kalou and Drogba have proved what big players for us they actually are. Mikel hasn't been too bad, either.

[terry26 6]

cameroon have just taken the lead :( NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO

juniour agogo is a useless twat who can't hit the barn door

ess is the captain tonite though but that means nothing if they lose

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

It means Essien come's back early!!!!

[MikeCFC 45]

Good stuff.We could have Essien back for the scousers,even if on the bench.

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Agogo just missed another chance, one on one

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Agogo just headered over he is wank!!!!!!! Cant see Ghana snatching this back now, which is good cos we get Essien back. Which means he has more time to recover for the Carling Cup final.
