| My team, Angola, the Black Antelopes, only drew last night. Have to say, that Manucho that the rags have signed looks half decent, and did you see the size of the other striker's (Flavio) forehead!?!?
you know, you know, if a feller named Monroe never fathered bluegrass he would still be unrecognised as the grand wizard of speed metal

| I think it's the African keepers that make this tournament. Cracking goals in general, mainly down to the keepers flying the wrong way through the air, they crack me up.

| | HT Guinea 1 Morocco 0, I like this comment off the bbc website 1735: Another Guinea player, this time Souleymane Youla, is ordered off by Mr Damon. It seems he has a problem with a piece of jewellery and also his under shorts. They were white, but his shorts are yellow. Apparently they need to be the same colour Is that some sorta new rule or somthing??? |

Yup.
3-1 now. Cracking game this. I like Guinea. I expected the team to be full of Italians but apparently that's something different. 
Edit. Guinea down to 10 men. Could be a belting finish.

| The pitch in the Guinea game cracked me up, its so rock solid the ball can't stop bouncing! The challenges are rarely below waist level!

Benin coach claims 'fix' approach | By Farayi Mungazi BBC Sport, Sekondi |
 Dave's is that big | Benin coach Reinhard Fabisch says he was asked if he would help fix the result of his side's Africa Cup of Nations match against Mali. Benin lost the Group B match 1-0 after conceding a second-half penalty. Fabisch is willing to give the Confederation of African Football the name and number of the man who claimed to be from a Singapore-based company. "He wanted to find out from me if there was any possibility of manipulating the match," Fabisch told BBC Sport. "I told him: 'Look, you have two minutes to leave the hotel or I will call the police'." Fabisch added that the man - a black African - spoke to him at the team's hotel on Saturday, two days before the Mali defeat. The man said the company he represented claimed to be able to fix matches across Africa and planned to win money in bets on the tournament's opening goal. The first goal of the Africa Cup of Nations was Ghana's penalty against Guinea on Sunday 20 January, a game the tournament hosts won 2-1. "I was astonished that he had the guts to approach a German to fix a football match," said Fabisch. "I think that African players are vulnerable to this kind of approach, because many of them don't have money. "This is why poor countries like Benin are targeted. "I cut him short and told him to leave. It doesn't help football. "I assume that if someone approaches you like that, then they have that (money) in mind." Subsequently Fabisch warned his players to tell him if they were approached. Benin next play Ivory Coast in Sekondi on Friday.
