2012 Africa Cup of Nations

2012_Africa_Cup_of_Nations_logo.png

Its 28th edition of the tournament that has be running since 1957, this year Tournament will be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. It will be Equatorial Guinea's debut appearance in this prestigious African tournament [along side Botswana and Niger] while Gabon will make it 5 times. 4 host cities were chosen, two from each nations. 14 other teams join the hosts after their respective qualification group games.

A lot of surprises came in as defending champions Egypt came in last in the Group G Quals, while South Africa lost their spot on bizarre circumstances (remember, Bofana Bofana South Africa ) and Cameroon only came Second in Group E (not to mention what Eto'o did to get a 4-match ban, which was originally 15), plus Nigeria didn't do well, and Togo too.

The good surprises are the debut nations and smaller nation rising on top of them, like Niger, Botswana, Gambia, Burkina Faso to name a few. Other than that, there are no real surprises who have entered in, like Ivory Cost, Morocco, Ghana, Tunisia, Zambia, and so on.

Here we have three favourites. Ghana, Cote D'Ivoir and Senegal. Who wil win?
 
hope Ivory Coast go out at the first attempt :)

Hope Morroco win it though ;)
 
I voted for ivory coast...because I like ella-pants

and I don't know much about african national teams
 
I have a feeling Gabon or Morocco can cause an upset.

Does anyone know if this is shown on British TV anywhere?

One of the ITV channels-ITV 4 I think. but defo saw it advertised
 
hoping i'll add some flags on a the table later on :)

go ivory cost. come on gervhino, drogba, yaya toure lol
 
Well I think that Burkina Faso and Angola will be the surprises of the tournment and Ghana will win in my opinion and it starts tomorrow right?
 
As for the poll. it will just run for 5 day just so u know XD so pretty much by 25 jan, most of the teams will have play game 1 .
 
Oh i just remembered one thing: what do the red names mean? like ajt one
 
hope Ivory Coast go out at the first attempt :)

Hope Morroco win it though ;)

if chamakh get some goals, then that will really help him improve form and confidence. still i remember he used to be banging goals for morroco in fm11 and sometimes getting hat tricks in every game XD

I want them to win so Chammy stays away from our first team ;)

Unless he somehow finds some form? :O
