I hope Nigeria don't win. There is a guy over there that still owes me £50K.

I enjoy watching footy but tbh can't get entheusiastic about ACN. There are not enough players I recognise.......

Not having a go, but I don't quite follow that logic especially when one of Liverpool's biggest players is there and in with a pretty good chance of winning it.

Good start for the hosts the other day. Think they will be tough to beat, but there are a lot of teams in with a good shout.

Exactly my point.
One Lpool player.
There are many teams that I don't know a single player.

2 games I will be watching today.
Everton Vs Villa
Utd Vs Spurs

Again, fair enough and I hope you enjoy them.

Thinking about it a bit more I suppose I like seeing random players who I've never seen before. There are a few players coming through in England now who I've been enjoying watching, but mostly it's the same faces, for me at least.

It can be even worse in Scotland! I could make a fairly reasonable starting XI out of former Killie players who are still playing their trade at various other clubs, though we do have some very promising youngsters who I'm hoping we can keep hold of for a while.

Yes, I can see both sides and understand other views. Not saying I won't watch any Afcon games but will be choosey.
Would I be nasty to hope Egypt get knocked out early so we can have our Egyptian King back home ^_^

He's definitely been an important player for you this season (must admit I'm surprised by this, but he seems over the strop he took when he didn't get a move away) so I can totally understand that!

I see Sven Goran Eriksson has terminal cancer.
He recently said he is a lifelong Lpool fan.....as is his father who is still alive.
Lpool play their 'legends' match in March and fans are suggesting Sven be made manager for the day. I, for one, am in favour of that.

Is this A C of N the reason why there's only been half the Premier League clubs playing this weekend? If so, why let clubs off playing their fixtures due to I suppose players being away on international duty. Prem' clubs are very wealthy, so why not just play other multi million pound players, to take the places of those multi million pound players away in this competition! When wealthy clubs sign top players they know they'll be called up for internationals, so if they lose them for a few games that's their problem, not the fans problem.

No, it's what passes for the Premier League's winter break. Half the teams this weekend, the other half next. Those without cup replays etc get a few days off.
