Could they not have called it something sensible like the African Nations Cup?

Maybe they didn't want it abbreivated to the ANC?

Did South Africa not qualify or did they choose not to participate?

I can't get excited about this tournament since the tragic attack on Togo.

Well done to Malawi though. A very good 3-0 win against Algeria.

I've had a cheeky tenner on Mali, and I'm not sure wether to be happy or unhappy about last nights result!

Got no chance I'm afraid Bernie.

Mali will qualify if:
they defeat Malawi AND Algeria defeat Angola, OR
they defeat Malawi AND Angola defeat Algeria, AND

Fingers crossed!

It may interest some to know that one of the main reporters for the Beeb's World Service is also an occasional poster on NSC and Albion STH to boot. I've told him to scout some players for Gus!
