Ivan Drago Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Anyone going to be watching this at all? Think some of the games are going to be on bbc3, and on the bbc website, hopefully sum late night highlights on bbc2 for all us insomniacs as well. I quite fancy Ghana to win it, as they're not only a cracking team but i think its in Ghana as well. Apparently though Kingston started a mass brawl on the training ground (utter disgrace, they should send him home to his club ASAP ). According to the bookies Ghana and Ivory Coast are pretty much joint favourites, cant really see past either of them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1874robbo Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hope kingston has a tremendous tournament and puts a few million onto his transfer value,not that i want to lose him but we have to be realistic,he is going to go at some point and the more we get the better.

Flogel98 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Will be watching with interest. Hope Larry does well but fear he will come back injured and/or knackered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Wilder Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Little Ayew squared up to him after Larry tackled him from behind. Larry was going to knock him down but Muntari jumped in the way. I'm sure he's on a time out, but there's no way they'll suspend him or risk him for the tournament, too much of an important player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sked21 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Lookign forward to it. The thing I like about it is that there are some cracking players on show but you always have the crazy defenders and 'keepers who make some of the most ridiculous mistakes. It is obvious that Ivory Coast and Ghana are the fvourites but if you are wanted some value for money then look at Senegal and Tunisia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 The last African nations had fixtures around ten/eleven in the morning, I spent most days having early lunches in the Guildford! This time, the fixtures seem to start much later but some are on BBCi. What the feck is BBCi? Can it be accessed from a television or is it just something on line?

Ivan Drago Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Mali could be worth an outside bet actually - guys like Kanoute, Keita, Diarra and Sissoko in the squad, and they've actually got a superb record. They're in the same group as Nigeria and Ivory Coast though.... 16/1 to win the whole thing though, might be worth a punt. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/7189833.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The only thing that lets this tournament down is the quality of the refereeing. Its about as good as Scottish refereeing which for an international competition is horrendous. Look out for some terrible decisions. Apart from that it should be an exciting tournament.
