The 2012 African Cup of Nations

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Thank fuck Cameroon did not qualify.

I can see Ivory Coast winning this. Which means Gervinho will come back really late and knackered.

2 matches have already been played, both in Group A.

Equatorial Guinea 1-0 Libya
Senegal 1-2 Zambia.

PS - how many players have our rivals lost to the ACN?

Any of you without a country should support Botswana on Tuesday.
African Team of the Year!

Didier Drogba scored from a first-half header as pre-tournament favourite Ivory Coast opened its African Cup of Nations campaign with a 1-0 win against Sudan on Sunday.

Drogba's header thumped into the back of the net from Chelsea teammate Salomon Kalou's cross in the 39th minute to cap a period of constant pressure.

Arsenal striker Gervinho had several chances to extend the lead but his finishing let him down, forcing Ivory Coast to endure a nervous finale.

Morocco got beat by Tunisia... Chamakh could be home early !

FantasticMrFox

Check this gaffe. The GK got away with it.

Klaus

The look on his face when he realises he's over the line 😆

Lukazan

Saw the highlights of group C. Some of the tackles were pretty x-rated. Gotta love the ACON.. 😆

Oh and Chamakh almost replicated Maradona's hand of god right at the end, though strangely the commentator completely ignored the fact he'd tried to use his hand and just kept praising Chamakh for his determination and bravery! 😆

He should stay home for as long as he likes.

Totally uninterested in this level of football because Nigeria didn't bother to qualify.

The standards are much too low for our superstars - Yakubu, Taye Taiwo and John Mikel Obi.

So how did the vixens?? do Cali?

Claudius

What vixens are these? My poor Zebras failed to shoot down the Black Stars. As always, we can defend resolutely and hold our own in midfield, but we lack bite up front. Meh.

That boy Ayew looked good. Surely, he'd be an upgrade o Walcott.

Snake poison was wrong then?

Senegal is out. They thought they had done enough by scoring late on to equalise but Guinea scored deep in injury time to send them out. Crazy stuff

Oh dear. Kalou has bloody "Kalunho" on his shirt.

Does not even sound good!

lorddulaarsenal
