Benin qualified? Do they do that often?

 

[Eagle Winged]

Benin qualified? Do they do that often?

Only their second time, the first was in 2004.

 

[Tosiek]

I'm really looking forward to see it. Each group is tough and it's gonna be hard to predict who will go through the next round.

GO SENEGEL! GO KASPERCZAK!

 

[theo]

go Nigeria just for Emeghara's sake

 

[Johnny_Big]

Go Angola

 

[Jambo Den]

I hope we get Larry Kingston back as soon as possible. From playing with Ghana to a relegation dogfight in the SPL...

 

[easyeasyeasy]

Namibia for the win, they must be something like 1000-1 outshot for the tournament

 

[Zlatan]

Hurray for Eurosport broadcasting this. I'll try to follow it as much as I can.

 

[theo]

they broadcasted it two years ago too.

 

[Johnny_Big]

Yeah, Eurosport in January usually is great. It also puts the AUS Open, love those guys

 

[Bonzi]

I am actually going to follow it

 

[Jambo Den]

Eurosport is the business. Eurogoals is quality for watching 40 yard screamers that seem to go in weekly in Ligue 1 and the Superliga

 

[coach]

Eurosport - The Business
TV5 - Britney Spears' Vagina

 

[twosmiths]

does anyone know if they'll be broadcasting this is in the US?

 

[adobe_sun]

ONly teams to have chances of winning it, are Ivory, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon.
Senegal are not yet capable of doing it.
Mali would be the best surprise i can bet on that, but i doubt they will go all the way. They have SUPERB players like Kanoute, Seidou Keita and Diarra, but can't compare to Ivory or Ghana yet.

 

[Johnny_Big]

Ghana 0 - Guinea 0 HT

Holy sh*t, Ghana has 4 balls in the post so far, they are playing great football. Guinea are lucky to go to HT with a draw.

 

[Jambo Den]

The grass is absolutely shocking.

Ghana have dominated though. Some quality deliveries by Larry so far. Though it would be typical for Guinea to win 1-0 after all those chances, wouldn't it?

 

[Jambo Den]

Penalty for Ghana...

1-0, Gyan

About time Ghana made their performance count!

 

[Jambo Den]

My word, Guinea nicked a goal. Kingson o.g.
