| Inez, unfortunately Gambia did not qualify for this African Cup of Nations. Maybe next time?? |

| by the way Modou Sowe, a referee from Gambia was in the thick of action in cameroon/egypt game. |

Respect Namibia, I tell you what we will see a big surprises in this tournament.
The Ghana has about 18-20 shot but just one comes out!
That most be a hell for the fans, and that at home!
The big one will go for sure unexpected down, cos they have enough in they pocket so no big deal here, the champions league is waiting. that's is much important. wasn't always that what some stars says
Hey, wont you be proud of BandiRabeh La Guinee. 3-2 for guinea,
that was good game.

Thatīs what I thought too but believed a gambian friend who said Gambia did qualify... By now Iīve noticed that he has no clue about the ACN...Iīm the one watching the games every evening and shouting, my kids believe I got grazy..they are not used to see me watching football and it only happens when African cup of nations going on. Ghana worked hard yesterday for their one goal...but Guinea did the greatest job when plying against Marocco after Fendenous "accident"...

Inez, what's got into you? I am the one here escaping to the bedroom with my books every evening, we're having our dinner in front of tv these days and when my little grandson comes to stay for the weekend i fear he will get no chance to watch his favourite Lion King dvd's  ...i hope he will like watching the football together with my partner (his stepgranddad ), or else i will have to play Monopoly with him the whole weekend to keep him busy.
Oh, isn't football just 'great'  . |

Anna, I have learned something when it comes to football; if you canīt beat them you better join them...thatīs how I got into it but then I noticed how fun it was. But I have my limits too, I only watch it every second year for some weeks, I love the atmosphere and drumming and noisy groud and somehow more emotional and fun football than anywhere else. Itīs exciting and anything can happen. You better get into it before your grandson comes or put him in bed very earlyFor me this is also an opportunity to get some time of my own since my kids escape to their rooms at 6 oīclock every night and my "friend" got kind of busy these days

| Ok, maybe you're right. I'll try watching it with 'my men' tomorrow night but unfortunately my partner gets very loud and excited while watching. I don't mind watching football now and then, but these days there seem to be no weekday or weekend without some 'important' match or other. Looking forward to the European Championship in June (but not really). Anyway, my man is fantasising of a match between the best African players against the best Europeans (some Dutch guys in there of course). Who do you, as the expert, think will win? I myself think my man is in for a big disappointment. |

hahaaa, as an expertnot really. I hope Ghana will win before Egypt. Then also Guinea is working very hard...I didnīt see all the games since there been stuff with my daughters school in evening time, we are moving next friday after 11 years in same appartment and there is lotīs of packing and cleaning to do..will also start a new work on monday...but I been watching enough to know who I donīt want to win: Ivory coast diva players they fall down all the time even when nobody is near them and then start rolling around in fictive pain until the game is stopped...again n again. Now I need to start watching, need some rest after kitchen duty all day long... |
