Hosts, Coté D'ivoire Are Not Out Of Afcon Just Yet Because by BABANGBALI: 6:56am On Jan 23
HOSTS, COTÉ D'IVOIRE ARE NOT OUT OF AFCON JUST YET BECAUSE...

Coté d'Ivoire have a slim chance of making it to the round of sixteen of the AFCON. But that is "if...if...or if...". They finished their group in third place with three points. That is they are better than Ghana who ended the group stage in third place with two points. The Ivoriens now need Camereon to fail to win today and the Elephants are through irrespective of what happens elsewhere. But IF the Indomitable Lions win today, they may be third in their group with four points, meaning nothing for the hosts from that group. Coté d'Ivoire will then shift their attention to group D where Algeria are currently sitting in third with two points. The hosts will be hoping that the Carthage Eagles lost to Mauritania. But IF Algeria get even a draw or Mauritania wins, then even group D will have nothing to offer Coté d'Ivoire in form of relief. This is because a win for Algeria will take them to five points and second place, while a win for Mauritania will guarantee the Almoravids three points and better goal difference over Coté d'Ivoire. Senegal and Guinea are as good as already through from Group D. IF that group offers the Coté d'Ivoire no hope of progressing, then the Elephants will wait for what happens tomorrow in Group E and F. Namibia are currently third in group E with three points and a goal difference of minus three, same as the hosts. A 0-1 loss to Mali tomorrow will worsen Namibia's situation to minus four, meaning Coté d'Ivoire finished better than the Brave Warriors. Morocco lead group F with four points, while Zambia and DR Congo trail with two points each as Tanzania sit last with a point. A win for Zambia against Morocco and a victory for DR Congo against Tanzania tomorrow may see the hosts not getting any relief coming from that group. But anything to the contrary may come with some ray of hope. So the Ivoriens have to keep calculating and saying "if...", "if...",. Good that the showroom Eagles saved us the pains of doing those calculations and permutations even asbthwy are yet to convince us that they are in Coté d'Ivoire for serious business. But I really hope the hosts don't exit the tournament this early. That will kill the spirit of their fans and the hostility of their few misguided ones would be directed at other nations, especially those who played roles in their elimination. Remember, Nigeria set the started the process of bringing the Elephants down. Having said that, may the best team win the coveted trophy.
