FIFA Rankings, AFCON Fixtures, And Why I Will Not Be Routing For Nigeria by nex(m): 11:38am On Jan 19, 2013 |
The Group A match between South Africa and Cape Verde kicks off the contest among sixteen of Africa's leading football playing nations which starts today, and and ends on February 10th. Please, don't ask me why Egypt is not there, but according to FIFA Rankings, the top ten African nations are: 1 Côte d'Ivoire 2 Algeria 3 Mali 4 Ghana 5 Zambia 6 Libya 7 Gabon 8 Central African Republic 9 Nigeria 10 Tunisia By virtue of this ranking, recent matches I've watched, and the general political and economic stability of the countries listed, it is safe to say the winner of this tournament is among Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Zambia. The host country, South Africa, and our own dearly beloved country Nigeria, have both shown little promise, so there's no way in Hell anyone will catch me supporting either. Africa Cup of Nations GROUPS Group A Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Morocco, South Africa. Group B DR Congo, Ghana, Mali, Niger. Group C Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Zambia.
