South Africa vs. Cape Verde on right now. Score 0-0, still early in the game for those interested.

[RealGunner]

Very poor game. South Africa failed to deliver. Cape Verde the better team

[Catracho]

Terrible and dull game. One can only hope Morocco vs. Angola will be better.

imo I think it will.. Younes Belhanda for Morocco automatically makes this game more attractive than the Opening game.

btw game ended in a draw 0-0

[Catracho]

whata surprise.. smh

Angola 0-0 Morocco

Morocco's defense very suspect

[RealGunner]

last year Mali vs Angola finished 4-4 on the 1st day lol

I can't see Ghana winning this competition, the team is too inexperience imo. Credits thought to the DRC they may be the surprise package of the tournament, they've put behind them all the pretournament nonsense that went on in their camp and showed great character to come back from two goals down. Tresor Mputu and their goalie were in great form, I tip them and Ghana to qualify from the group but Mali may be a threat.

[NiallQuinnsdiscoPants]

Im supporting Mali

Hope they destroy Ghana Gyan

<3 Patrice Carteron

Alain Traore with a stoppage time equalizer against Nigeria.

[buddytaller]

Some exciting matches today, I was pleasantly surprised by the football of the Ethiopians, their exquisite one touch passing was a joy to watch and despite being a man down for most of the game, they matched the Zambians boot for boot, a draw was a fair result. What a way to make a comeback after over 3 decades out of the continental game.

Nigeria continues to disappoint, once again they never looked like a side capable of lifting the trophy. Both sides were poor as the match was littered with errors but Burkina Faso looked hungrier after the Nigerian right back was sent off and snatched the equalizer in virtually the last kick of the match with the help of some shambolic defending and naivety on the side of the Nigerians.

[Cotes]

How dare they give Toure the best African player of 2012 with Asamoah alive...that will change this year though...

[LeBéninois]

Hopefully Kwado Asamoah to get recognition

[RealGunner]

Tunisia with the injury time winner!!!!!!!!!!!

Youssef Msakni!! what a freakin goal!!

[Catracho]
