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.

Africa Cup of Nations, Ghana 2008

I'm happy that BBC are covering the Cup of nations this time around. Even if it is on BBCi. It's the only football tournament I'm interested in these days.

Ghana and Guinea are about to kick off, I hope it's a good tournament for Ghana after the world cup, and of course Nigeria.

If you are in the UK and want to watch the match use the red button on bbc one. or look for channels 301-303 on freeview.

Back later.

Super Eagles Defeated By Black Stars

Nigeria and Ghana played a friendly match in London this evening.

If I'd planned better I could have been there to watch, but I didn't so I hoped to watch it on one of these channels I have on cable... No chance. So I resorted to hunting the web to find the score... And that's Much Harder than you think.

Eventually I tracked down the result on the Ghana FA website. Ghana won 4-1.

Well done Black Stars. Sorry-O Super Eagles.
