themanupstairs Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So Mehdi Abeid isn't good enough to get into the Algeria side? Probably because he hasn't played enough football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Adebaywhore has gone. Rooting for Ivory Coast/Algeria so he's back soon tbh. Looks like a tough group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 do Africans actually care about this out of interest? Yes. To begin on a markedly combative note, Nations Cup has been held on a two to three year interval ever since its inception in the late 1950's. This is the way we do things. We should change because Europe has the money in football? I hope that when China has brought the world to its knees and owns the best football league and the players, that Europe is willing to move the "more prestigious" European tournament and even the World Cup to fit with the Chinese season, which runs from March to November, and hold it at an interval set by the Chinese. It angers me when these people complain of our tournament. Holding it in two consecutive years is remarkably naive and foolish by CAF, though. Groups A and D should be quite entertaining. You would figure that Morocco should stop underachieving at some point and it will be a scrap for second place in D. I would favour us to take our group, but Zambia and BF are good sides. Cape Verde are my dark horse. They play good football and beat the hell out of Cameroon in the qualifier. In my life time, Nigeria have finished second in this three times. We have finished third five times. Also, we have withdrawn once as favourites and been banned once as favourites. We have more "medals" than any other team in history, but have won only twice. Surely whatever curse this tourney has on my country must soon end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Baba's back! Hope Ivory Coast get to the final, fucking sick of Tiote being shit in our side atm and maybe he'll find some form if they go all the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 What do you think of the Ameobi 'saga' baba? It is a negative sum game for me. I don't want him representing my country at Nations Cup (Keshi would like to leave Oba who is playing well and Odemwingie who is talented home for Ameobi?!), especially since he rejected us when he was a mildly desirable commodity, and I do not want him in the team at NUFC or giving an excuse to the powers at the club. He just isn't useful at this point Hey Baba, how are you? Very well. I have a broken leg and decided to visit my women's people for the holidays. I am not which of these is more regrettable.

jonny_sniper Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 do Africans actually care about this out of interest? Not much hype in South Africa for this, but not helped by the national team being terrible at the moment. Expect plenty of empty stadia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get well soon. i shouldn't laugh Anyway i'm not bothered about it this time, only Tiote has left and he's been garbage this season so i can actually enjoy the competition without hoping my teams players lose every game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
