Ghana should be under Outside Chances, considering they are only good for marking register.

Jarus:
Here is my assessment of the chances of each of the teams (done this for the last 11 years)

FAVOURITES
-Egypt
-Senegal
-Morocco

OUTSIDE CHANCES
-Cameroun
-Nigeria
-Ghana
-CIV
-Algeria

FIGHTING CHANCES
Tunisia
Congo
Mali
Guinea
South Africa

NEVER-SAY-NEVER
- Angola
- Tanzania
- Zimbabwe
- Burundi

NO-HOPERS
-Benin
-Uganda
-Mauritania
-Madagascar
-Kenya
-Namibia
-Guinea Bissau

Now, on a personal level, which do I want to win?

1. Nigeria (for obvious reason)
2. Mali (they have been underachieving for long - mostly gets knocked out in semis)

Which do I think will win?
Morocco or Egypt

Senegal have very good individual players but not a great team.

UEFA arguments team of the year. Forgiveness and theGoodJoe leads the attack line

krattoss:
How do can Dijk do this?

Calm and cool headed..

With this his pattern,it will be hard for him to be dribbled by any player.

charlesemeka85:
I think man untd should forget about koulibaly and sign dias instead. I'm really impressed with the guys display so far against the dutch

BascoVanVeli:


In 2015 nobody knew Rice but alot of people knew KC. That is a fact na what is the argument about?

Jarus:


They consistently make semis

alekside:
If Brendan Rodgers is as good tactically as you have been wanting us to believe, he would have managed the team better after Suarez left.

The same Brendan Rodgers that became bereft of ideas after narrowly losing the league. How can one go from almost winning the league playing beautifully to struggling for 6th position in just a season?

He was abysmal in the first few months of his last season that Liverpool had to sack him.

alekside:
Rodgers this! Rodgers that! like he is one tactical genius.

Is it not the same Rodgers that messed up in his last season with Liverpool. A manager who thought players like Balotelli, Borini and Benteke were the perfect replacement for Luis Suarez.

Make we hear word abeg

safarigirl:
but never win

Let me see them make semis this year.

forgiveness:


Hehehe!

darkelf:


Arguing with the Good joe is futile

Even as a Liverpool fan since 2001, I knew Rodgers rode on the excellent display of Suarez so much that when Suarez left, I knew that Liverpool would struggle even before the season started. And they did struggle...

My verdict on him will be out till the end of next season

krattoss:
Time to watch the UEFA nations league finals..

My money is on VVD and the Dutch team..

Danielnino00:


This same Rodgers lost 6-1 to Stoke city oh! Stoke city of all club.. The good Joe keep calling him a genius and I just dy smh dy look am...Rodgers would succeed at a mid table team like Leicester cus his attacking style of play suits them..at best he would secure them an Europa league spot.. His player management issue is the problem...once he grows impatient with a player he discard them..

The good Joe think we can be fooled by Rodgers's praise singing of Iheanacho to the British press.

Jarus:


I want Nigeria to win but I wont put money on Nigeria winning.

Jarus:
By the way, here are the prize monies:

1st- $4.5m
2nd - $2.5m
3rd & 4th (semi-finalists) - $2m
5th - 8th (quarter-finalists) - $800k

Noteworthy that the prize money for the AFCON winners is far less than what teams that were eliminated in the group stage at the last FIFA World Cup received ( $8m).

TheGoodJoe:


It happens once in a while. Peter Bosz who was magnificent with Ajax and led them to the Europa league final was appalling at Dortmund. Same goes to Klopp who had a poor run at Dortmund that led to his sack . That does not mean they are poor managers.
