1. Title - Trophy
Article 1.
1 The African Football Confederation shall organise every other year an International
Competition called the African Cup of Nations open to the national representative
teams of the associations in membership, each Association being
entitled to enter one team.
2 The Trophy called the African Cup of Nations is the property of the Confederation.
It shall be held by the National Association winning the Competition and

Final Tournament. A replica of this trophy will be given to the Association that

The African Football Confederation regulations call it AfricaN in the very first paragraph

To be honest I want all three to do well out there.. I want Kolo to put the fear into even more Forwards.. I want Eboue to Terrorise the wing and show what he really can do.. And Song.. I want him to soak up as much experience as possible :D

One of my work Colleagues is from Nigeria.. So he was cheering them on, and I got updated with the score.. Kalou got the goal in the 66th minute, They meant to be the two favourites of their group supposedly, So Im not sure we stand much chance of Kolo and Eboue coming home early

reverse the psychology and say that the ivory coast get to the final and win. we're counting on kolo and eboue not being back until milan at home at the earliest,they win the ACN and come back buzzing,adrenalin still pumping,i think it's a better proposition than them coming home dejected after going out early(unlikely!) and then trying to get back to speed for us in the league.
