***Official African Cup of Nations thread***(spoilers)

I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this already, so I have started one for people to talk about games in progress, results, etc.

Firstly, I am very disappointed that BBC are not covering it any more: the final will be shown live on BBC Two, while the two semi-finals will be available on red button and BBC Three. That's it. I cannot find any reference either to the highlights on matchdays. Personally disappointed. Edit: on British Eurosport.

First game sounds like it was epic though. Angola 4-0 up with 11 minutes to go and Mali catch up to make it 4-4!

With Togo dropping out, I imagine the remaining 3 will play each other and the top 2 will make it through?

Ah, I haven't got British Eurosport on my freeview box, so I couldn't check. But you're right. You can also watch them online. £3.99 for a month's subscription to BE and BE2; good value for the month, but I'm using a 3 internet dongle with limited data usage, so think I'd be going over the limit.

Will it just be a case of playing one less group game?

Guess so, but Yahoo! reports that the team may still come back.
