African Nations Cup

[Imy]

Starts on Sunday in Ghana as they take on Guinea in the first match.

Ivory Coast and Ghana are the big favourites, personally I think Morocco will do well.

A big good luck to Momo and his Mali team, they are in the 'group of death' with Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Benin, some pundits are tipping them as the 'ones to watch'.

[Shaggy]

No idea about who's in or out of form, but for my money Ivory Coast have the best squad. Tipping them to win it.

They are the strongest team, Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue, Didier Zokora and Bakaray Kone Didier Drogba, Arouna Kone, Salomon Kalou and Aruna Dindane.

Mali have Momo, Kanoute, Mahamadou Diarra.

And left Djimi Traore at home! Poor lad.

Isn't it in Ghana? My money would be on them.

Essian player of the Tournament.

They are strong but they've lost to injury Stephen Appiah he's their key man.

They still have Essien and Muntari but will miss their captain Appiah.

Kader Keita not called up?

Kader Keita not called up?

He is in the squad, don't know much about, i assume you enquire as he is good?

I rate Tunisia as a Big Danger

Teams from their Domestic League won the last African Champions League and Cup Winners Cup

so what about South Africa? no chance?

Ivory Coast FTW

I think he's a great player. Love him to be signed for LFC... Pacey winger with close control and great skill (that he uses when it's needed, unlike the ballerina at UTD)

I'd be surprised if we made it out of the Group stages. Young squad at the moment. Building for 2010. We didnt even pick Benni McCarthy

It will happen. The only time this is a problem is when tournament is held in Northern Africa (Summer). In central Africa it doesnt make a difference and in Southern Africa it's winter
