Zambian players dedicate well deserved win to the "Team of 1993", who all lost their lives in an horrific plane crash.

The Tournament might have been disappointing, but it more than made up for it in the Finals. Going all the way to 

Penalty shootout; eventually beating COTE D’IVOIRE 7-8..

Only one word to describe this final...: EPIC!!

....until next year..peace..



Oh well, it has been such a let down. An anti-climax for the fans of the Black Stars. This was a golden opportunity for for Ghana to atleast reach the Finals, but they got knocked out by Zambia; and now they've just been beating by Mali. Who takes 3rd place a few hours ago in Malabo.

"Now onto the next 1". The Final is tomorrow in Libreville:

COTE D’IVOIRE (favourites)  vs.    ZAMBIA 

What do you think?

Oh Well, this Cup of Nations has been on the "boring side". I don't know if it's the commentary or the fact that it's being show on Euro Sports. Even HD isn't helping. neWay, it's time for the business end of the competition, Quarter finals time! It just has to get better. There are a few surprises: 

Quarter Finals

Zambia  vs.  Sudan                               04/02/12                 17:00          BATA

Cote D'Ivoire vs. Guinea Eq.                04/02/12                 20:00          MALABO

Gabon  vs. Mali                                       05/02/12                17:00          LIBREVILLE

Ghana  vs. Tunisia                                  05/02/12               20:00              FRANCEVILLE

Yep, you've got some real surprises in the quarters. Zambia, Sudan. Let's see what happens over the weekend.

Remember we predicting a Ghana vs. Cote D'Ivoire final...What do you think?

The competition hasn't been as firing as in previous years (probably due to the absence of the usual heavyweights: Egypt,Nigeria,Cameroon & Algeria). Below is the road to the final....Let's hope it heats up towards the quarter finals....We might get a dream final : Ghana Vs. COTE D’IVOIRE       Remember; it was predicted here 1st!!



Barcelona has strengthed their already "air tight" squad, by signing up Alexis Sanchez for a respectable £26 million. The skillful Chilean/Udinese Winger was a target for Guardiola, has he out bid offers from the likes of Man.City & Utd to get his man (Are you Listening Arsene Wenger!) With this show of strength by Barca it's almost a given that they will be favorites to lift the Europe Cup again! CHAMPIONAY CHAMPIONAY!!

There's just another 57 days to go!! Here is a sneek preview on who your team will be facing next Season.Please feel free to send across your predication on who will lift the Cup next Season.....
