    Thought they looked ok, compared with the alleged quality of Nigeria and Ghana though possibly the weaker of the 4 Central African teams?

    Côte d'Ivoire are by far the strongest team from the Afrikaans.

    I'd say they are comfortably the strongest African team.

    african football is strange

    ivory coast with the 'superstars' never quite win the ACON, yet egpyt zamibia nigeria, all get to the final and win (apart from zamibia i believe or maybe im wrong) and ivory coast always seem to get a tricky group

    this year is the year of the elephant i believe though

    Nigeria have only won it 3 times. That's pretty poor going.

    I think Ghana have one of the best African squads, they just can't seem to knit it together.

    Because in the ACON the teams have to be made predominantly of domestic players. And the superstars couldn't gives toss. Those who do go put more effort into not getting injured mid-season than winning.

    ^this.

    If the tournament took place in the summer, you'd probably see the 'bigger' nations winning it more often.

    I've got 1-1 in this one in my predictions league. Right now that's looking pretty likely.

    Great challenge.

    Beckerman & Jones have been very impressive. Put in a decent shift.

    Ghana's persistence has paid off.

    You wonder what would've happened had they started with the star players.
