African Nations Cup

[dww]

Ghana have former Cambridge United manager Claude Le Roy in charge. Hence I'm cheering for them.

I think the Ivory Coast team looks the best though.

Samuel Etoo top scorer EW. Freerole as if he's beaten to it, he will get in the top 4 anyway and @ 5/1 will get over your money back for even that.

With the group he's in though, he should take it down.

Ghana won 2-1 in their opening match yesterday, it took a last gasp Muntari effort (beautiful goal) to win it for the hosts.

Morocco are currently beating Namibia, Nigeria face Ivory Coast at 17:00 (GMT) that on paper looks like quite a match, Momo's Mali kick off their campaign at 19:30 (GMT).

3-1 to Morocco after 30 mins.

Did anyone see the joke of a pitch yesterday? The grass was waaaaaaaaaay too long.

Egypt as the outside bet. Cote D'ivoire have to be favourites though. I don't rate Ghana at all.

On yesterday's game the only things in Ghana's favour are their excellent central midfield and home soil.

Not very good yesterday, as host i think they will be dangerous but agree can't see them winning it, my outsiders tip Morocco are doing well in their first match.

Watching Namibia v. Marocco now and the stadium is totally empty.

And the grass on the pitch is a bit long methinks

how else is it going to look green on the TV?

I wonder how much tickets are costing? Are they pricing the local support out a la West Indies Cricket World Cup style. i'm surprised the Moroccans haven't bought their support over.

a little lacking in the forward department but they will be very tough to beat and they are at home remember. They are also capable of much better than yesterdays performance. Favourites IMO, only because they are home. Gyan should turn it on too and get them the goals they need

I think Gyan Asamoah and that Quincy kid (used to be at Arsenal I think) are good attacking options and with their CMs they will do well. Black Stars

And now 5-1 to Morocco.
