African Cup of Nations

[Norwood's 6 iron]

Am I right in thinking that this takes place in January.
Don't think that we will lose any players, but does anyone have any idea how this may impact teams around us.
Forest may suffer big time, and possibly Everton, anyone else?

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Brentford have a few- mbeumo a big one for them

 

[SwissBlade]

Slimane - Tunisia
Traore - Ivory Coast?

 

[icepop80]

Coulibaly could feature for Mali.
Outside chance of Ghana picking Amissah.

 

[Greg.]

Useful summary here:

 

[SwissBlade]

Coulibaly could feature for Mali.
Outside chance of Ghana picking Amissah.

Be nice if he was close to featuring for us

 

[TJ blade]

Coulibaly could feature for Mali.
Outside chance of Ghana picking Amissah.

Coulibaly doesn't feature for us so I wouldn't worry about him playing for Mali

Correct, just booked my flights while we're on the EPL winter break, cannot wait

 

[wak1889]

Slimane - Tunisia
Traore - Ivory Coast?

Yeah like the original poster said it doesn't affect us

 

[CambridgeshireBlade]

Mali might not even exist by January so not much risk

 

[Lane Ender]

Slimane - Tunisia
Traore - Ivory Coast?

Gutted that they are missing

 

[247Blade]

Get rid of our contingent in January hopefully

 

[Gimli]

Gutted that they are missing

I assumed they’d already gone to AFCON…

Larouci is eligible for Algeria as he was born there.

 

[bakeblade]

Slimane - Tunisia
Traore - Ivory Coast?

We're shagged without those 2

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

So we're looking at possibly 5?

Amissah
Larouci
Coulibaly
Slimane
Traore

 

[crooked bladesman]

Thank fcuk Benie Traore is going.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Slimane is the only one who we would miss even slightly as a option.

I am still in shock and angry over how bad our summer transfer window was. Benie and larouci as a newly promoted premier League club. You have to laugh.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Still chance for Amissah and Coulibaly to get calls

Traore not picked.

 

[Greg.]

Meanwhile Benrahma doesn't get called up!

 

[scouseblade]

Forest lucky they signed 75,000 players otherwise thats half a team missing

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Few shocks

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Great competition

 

[LudlamBlade]

By chance, I'm in Tunisia this week and will be going to watch their games at a local bar, complete with newly printed Slimane shirt which should be a conversation starter!

 

[Inter_blade83]

Great bit of footie on at the moment with Afcon and the AFC Asian Cup. Then this summer is Euros and Copa America.

Above is from Friday night, Qatar v Lebanon in the opener. 82k there (largest crowd ever to see Qatar play)

Camara's second owed much to a flourish of trickery from Iliman Ndiaye on the right, as he demonstrated masterful control to toy with his markers and angle a low pass back to the Metz midfielder, whose right-footed strike from outside the box arced over Gaye and into the far corner of the net.
