BM1874 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 It seems that Eurosport (ironically) will be broadcasting the tournament Gabon v Guinea-Bissau is actually the first game of the tournament at 5pm Here's hoping that when Cameroon play, Djoum see's some game time and although great experience, hasn't gone to warm the bench so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridge of Djoum Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 A tournament I never watch. Some of the Goalkeeping and Defending is comical. All in all a pretty poor standard of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Might chuck a couple of quid on Cameroon. Guessing Ivory Coast are bookies favourites and Ghana will be expected to do well. Have Algeria qualified? They've got a pretty special team. That said, there's a fair few upsets in AFCON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 A tournament I never watch. Some of the Goalkeeping and Defending is comical. All in all a pretty poor standard of football. The standard of African football has developed massively over the last 10-20 years. I actually enjoy the tournament. Different teams, players and stadia. I think ITV4 put a decent, short highlights programme together every day so you can keep tabs on what is going on without having to watch every match. I shall get my retaliation in first though to the first poster to mention "Oh aye, Nigerian World Cup Star...". I have no comeback on that!

Have Algeria qualified? They've got a pretty special team. That said, there's a fair few upsets in AFCON. Ivory Coast are indeed favourites, 4/1 seems decent. Cameroon are 11/1 if you're tempted, although I'm not sure if they're as good as they used to be?

Have Algeria qualified? They've got a pretty special team. That said, there's a fair few upsets in AFCON. Most of Cameroon's top players have opted out. That's why Djoum is in their squad. Not much chance. Hopefully he'll be back asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atrocious, they could give some of the women keepers a run for their money, I mind watching this tournament the last time it was on, the organisation of it is an absolute shambles, they were playing on pitches where the grass hadn't even been cut the diddiest of diddy tournaments.
