I'm going with Mali myself, although it's a pity Cheick Doucoure is out. A player I've rated since his days with Lens.Algeria or Ivory Coast to win it for me.
They could be a good underdog.I'm going with Mali myself, although it's a pity Cheick Doucoure is out. A player I've rated since his days with Lens.
Until a moment of stupidity to give a gift to Angola. Algeria always play decent football but are the international equivalent of Arsenal, no mentality and personality.Algeria are purring
Their no 8 looks like quite a player
The moody former Fulham player Aboubakar Kamara.
Maybe he also raps.
Africa.I didnt wanna have a go at the African Cup or whatever, but who give a feck? Onana should just stay in Manchester. I mean i don't really care that much since he aint that great but wtf.
Nah.Africa.
Hmm probably Africans...I didnt wanna have a go at the African Cup or whatever, but who give a feck? Onana should just stay in Manchester. I mean i don't really care that much since he aint that great but wtf.
You think i give a feck about the gold cup?Hmm probably Africans...
Similar to how nobody other than North Americans give a feck about the Gold Concacaf cup. Only difference is you won't find Africans complaining about it....
Africans of course, give your head a wobbleI didnt wanna have a go at the African Cup or whatever, but who give a feck? Onana should just stay in Manchester. I mean i don't really care that much since he aint that great but wtf.
And you speak for all Americans that do give a feck about it ?You think i give a feck about the gold cup?
If we had an american player worth a crap, i'd be pissed if he trotted off to play in such a half baked tournie.
Did i say i did? Can you read? Go jump off yourself.And you speak for all Americans that do give a feck about it ?
I can count with one finger the amount of times I watched either of these two teams.
It’s a big deal for African players and the continent. A lot of them prefer to win it over the UCL.I didnt wanna have a go at the African Cup or whatever, but who give a feck? Onana should just stay in Manchester. I mean i don't really care that much since he aint that great but wtf.

They get away with it because they don’t take as many players away from the top European leagues. The AFCON 2021 did use 405 UEFA players, including 227 from the top 5 leagues.It’s a big deal for African players and the continent. A lot of them prefer to win it over the UCL.
I’m not sure why this tournament gets a lot of stick. More so than any other. If it’s because it’s in January, the Asian cup is also on at the same time.
I got a soft spot for Cameroon since the days of Roger Milla and Thomas N’Kono. They were great to watch. Should have really beat England in the QFs in 1990.My country Cameroon reminds me of United; a faded force trying to stay relevant (despite a shocking AFCON win relatively recently in 2017, come to think of it united did manage to win 2 mickey mouse cups that same year after many years in the wilderness so they really are a lot a like).
Let's see what they can do tomorrow vs the reigning champions Mane and co.
This is the first time ever we had 3 players who could have been at AFCON - usually we had noneGood to see the club celebrating its rich heritage of African players.
I've heard it said in the past we avoided signing African players due the AFCON, I suspect it's more likely we just couldn't get into that market and stubbornly gave up while rival clubs found some excellent players.This is the first time ever we had 3 players who could have been at AFCON - usually we had none
I think Quinton Fortune is the only one to have an AFCON medal and that's bronze

Love it when shit goes pure AFCON
You aren't the centre of the universe you pleb, but you are from the US so you probably think you are.You think i give a feck about the gold cup?

Wtf how after all these years did I not know Djemba-Djemba was from Cameroon, I thought we was from SenegalGood to see the club celebrating its rich heritage of African players.
Fergie did say he regretted not signing Michael Essien as a kid (work permit issues) and we did actually sign Jon Obi Mikel so I don't think he was necessarily against itI've heard it said in the past we avoided signing African players due the AFCON, I suspect it's more likely we just couldn't get into that market and stubbornly gave up while rival clubs found some excellent players.
Wenger's Arsenal had a corner on the French market for years, which we know is a back channel into much of Africa (for other reasons)I've heard it said in the past we avoided signing African players due the AFCON, I suspect it's more likely we just couldn't get into that market and stubbornly gave up while rival clubs found some excellent players.
