[Archived] African Nations Cup

[Cocker]

Does anyone know of anywhere where there is a full list of players from all teams that are going to the African Nations Cup.

Have done a search but cant see anything

Cheers

No - Mokoena and McCarthy for us will be off!

Samba's team didnt qualify!

Magpies expecting to lose quartet

Its not too bad for us.

In January I think we will be buying a holding midfielder and Reid will be back so hopefully losing Mokoena will not really be too much of an issue. Up front Cruz is much more crucial to us than Benni to be honest so I am happy Rocky isn't the one going. Derbyshire or Roberts and Cruz is a formidable combination whichever way you look at it, and I don't think losing McCarthy will drastically damage our ability to win matches.

And, of course, it is absolutely brilliant for us that Samba's Congo did not qualify. We depend on him at the moment.

Interesting to see how it will hamper Pompeys chances

Great news for us. The early season form suggests Portsmouth and Man City will be our main rivals as the year progresses. Its a shame City don't have any going out.

[Hughesy]

City have however been very lucky with injuries - if they lost Richards, Dunne or Elano then they wouldnt find it as easy!

My main reason for asking was that I want to get my fantasy football sorted out before they all go :ph34r:

[shadsworth cloud]

Cruz is much more crucial to us than Benni

Well, you know, they have the strength to get through the group stages, but I don't see them going past the semis.

I can't help thinking of the victims....

Various pop stars and politicians are among those eagerly looking forward to attending the African Cup of Nations draw being staged by tournament host Angola on Friday this week.

The event will feature singing and dancing. One big party. Won't it be lovely? Well not quite in my humble opinion.

Apart from Angola the other 15 teams who have qualified for the 16 team tournament in January next year are Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Togo, Tunisia and Zambia.

Thankfully Somalia didn't qualify for the tournament. If Somalia's results in their qualification group had been good enough, they too would have been there for the tournament in January alongside Nigeria.

I have previously written to a couple of BBC producers and commentators to convey my disgust at the African Nations Cup coverage [Removed - Not football related].

The BBC's response is that the African Nations Cup is about football.

This isn't football related. Please post your views in the appropriate sub-forum.
