2017 Africa Cup of Nations

[Baddar]

The more you knowledge...

Ivory Coast's last group game tonight. Want them to do well but at the same time, they're in danger of going out, so I wouldn't be against getting Bailly back nice and early.

Incredible 

That's my new favourite thing about this tournament, an honour that last changed just ten minutes ago when I read that one of Zimbabwe's goal scorers tonight was named Knowledge.

This is a continent that has blessed us with the name Goodluck Jonathan. And he was a Nigerian president. Truly. Africa just knows how to give someone a name.

Did it not also give us Tokyo Sexwale? I wish he had become FIFA president.

Such a great name. 

There is a Zimbabwean played called Limited Chikafa  He even had a teammate called Danger Fourpence.

It's not just players with amazing names....There's the teams as well such as Botswana Meat Commission  .

I do hope their local rivals say that they have beat the meat when they win a derby

So Ivory Coast are out, following on from Algeria's surprise exit yesterday.

Great news for Fantasy Leaguers who have Zaha (like me) or indeed Leicester fans since Mahrez and Slimani will be heading back now too.

Yay for Bailly coming back early.

Ivory Coast were dreadful in all 3 matches though.

[DavidMarrio]

Can Senegal hurry up and get knocked out....<_<

Kodjia's coming home

Egypt’s 44-year-old goalkeeper saved two penalties as the seven-times champions reached the Africa Cup of Nations final by edging out Burkina Faso 4-3 in a semi-final shootout on Wednesday.

And it looks like a Joel Matip-less Cameroon might be joining them. They lead Ghana 1-0 late on.

Victory for Cameroon!
