African football is hilarious. I don't know why but everything just seems to be over dramatised and generally silly. Every goal has a massive dance celebration involving every player and there is a stoppage every few minutes where someone appears to have a horrific injury but then they get up again aftera few seconds (though not before a golf caddy is driven onto the pitch to help assess the 'injury')
Zayatte is captaining Guinea, Cousin is in the Gabon squad and Manucho (as somebody said before) scored the other day for Angola. Olofinjana was overlooked for the Nigeria squad.
Nigeria didn't qualify. Cousin didn't start for Gabon yesterday due to lack of match fitness - this after he'd apparently rejoined a local side to boost his chances of making the starting line up.
Yep, all live on Eurosport plus some on ITV 4. Been a good start to the tournament with both hosts winning and Zambia beating Senegal. Usual mix of goalkeeping errors (see below), poor free-kicks and foul throws. I've been to two ACNs before, unfortunately couldn't make this one but they're always cracking tournaments.

I'd rather watch a Scottish division 3 match than an ACN match, shytest standard of football on the planet, generally 11 individuals vs 11 individuals, stop start games waste of time
If someone put a gun to your head and went 'bet on Senegal', that would be a pretty good reason to bet on Senegal.
