African Cup of Nations

The Logo
The African Cup of Nations, which will be held in Gabon and Equitorial Guinea is exactly 1 week away! Because I was born in Nigeria, I would've supported them...if they had qualified. Will it be a success this time round with it being played in two countries not known for footballing ability and African giants Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa not even qualifying? I'm going to be supporting Senegal, with their Premier League players like: Demba Ba, Mohammed Diamé and Armand Traoré. They've named a very strong team with obviously those Prem ones but also players like Moussa Sow. The games will be broadcasted on ITV 4 and Eurosport 1 & 2.


The Groups:
Group A (easy group): Equitorial Guinea, Libya, Senegal, Zambia
Group B (it's tough): Côte d'Ivoire, Sudan, Burkina Faso, Angola
Group C (easy again): Gabon, Niger, Tunisia, Morocco
Group D (it's between Mali and Guinea): Ghana, Botswana, Mali, Guinea

I think that either Côte d'Ivoire or Senegal will win. Maybe Ghana? What about a shock from Mali or Guinea?

What do you think? Comment now!
