Africa Cup of Nations 2013

Togo deserve it. The one full game I saw from them was very good.

 

I think this could do with a bump as the semi-finals are today. I tipped Mali to win the competition, but they're falling apart against Nigeria. 3-0 at half time.

 

Nigeria v Ghana final then. Burkina Faso are going to get thumped.

 

Burkina Faso have been excellent so far in this competition, and Ghana's performances have seemed a little subdued. I think it'll be very close.

Nigeria, though, have shocked me with this performance. They didn't seem to me like a good side at all and look a shadow of their former selves in terms of quality on paper, but they've really turned it on today. Emenike, Moses and Ideye are looking deadly.

 

Ghana 1-0 at half time through a Mubarak penalty.

 

Burkina Faso are drawing now.

 

Go on Burkinabe.

 

THE FINAL: Nigeria vs Burkina Faso

 

Looks like I can curse results from the other side of the world.

 

Some really cocky penalty run ups from both sides in that shoot out!

 

What a goal by Sunday (rather apt name) Mba. 1-0 Nigeria.

 

Nigeria are an interesting team. They have nowhere near the amount of talent they had when I was a kid, but they seem to have a well-rounded team. It'll be interesting to see them in the World Cup if they can get there.
