This is just typical Europeans..being very selfish and over-protective of there players. If the European Championships were held in the middle of Europes top league schedules..would we all be complaining then? I doubt it. We would understand that the Ronaldos, Rooneys, Gattussos and Fabregas's want to go and prove themselves on the big stages..so why should it be different for the Drogbas, Etos, and Toures?

Nigeria will still qualify but that is on the hand of Ivory coast if them beat mali and NIGERIA go on and beat Benin by two goal. I"m wishing them best of luck.

My money's (literally,I put £200 at 11/2) on Ivory Coast,and they look simply unstoppable.Senegal are all but out,Nigeria could well follow and Ghana don't have a decent striker,and they also do not seem to be coping at all well with the pressure of being the host and the expectation of the whole country.For me,apart from Morocco and Tunisia, the biggest danger could be Angola,who swept Senegal aside last night,and in the Man Utd bound Manucho have a potent goal threat,and they have no pressure.It's been a fantastic tournament so far,goals galore,and spectacular goals too,and I will be sad when it ends.Until I go to the bookies to collect my winnings and head off into the sun for a holiday,courtesy of Les Elephants

I live in Hurghada/ Egypt and I am almost certain Egypt are going to take this one, and follow suit of last years cup. To all the people who think this tournement is insignificant I reproach you..the African continent is not the most wealthy continent, true. But we play with spirit and passion, both of these being aspects that are missing from a lot of European football these days.

And in 2 African cup nation times I hope to be representing Egypt, even though I'm half English and I'll proudly wear an Egyptian kit.

so now the tournament has reached its semi-final stage.

there have been heartbreaks (Angola, Nigeria)

goals to savour
contraversial refereeing decisions (aren't we accustomed to that anyway?)

some pretty amazing football

and a FANTASTIC atmosphere despite the low match attendence...

I'd like to ask if any of the doubters have been converted.
and who people now think will WIN.

Well, for those who had written off the Lions from the outset...any change of mind? Impossible n'est pas Camerounais (For Cameroon, nothing is impossible). The Indomitable Lions have defied the odds to remind Africa and the world that they remain among the best in the worlds most popular sport.
Go lions, Go!!
