Africa Cup of Nations, Ghana vs Nigeria,

Nigeria have just scraped through the group stages of the Africa Cup of Nations 2008. They are the group B runners up which means they face the Group A Winners, Ghana in the Quarter Finals February 3rd 2008 in Accra.

This evenings game against Benin was very worrying for Nigeria, I feared they were going to "do an England", having lost to Ivory Coast and drawn with Mali they not only needed to win this game, but Mali had to Lose to Ivory Cost, in a game played at the same time today.

The results?

Nigeria won 2 - 0

Ivory Coast won 3 - 0.

I Hope Chxta is happy.
