As the dust settles on the 2010 African Cup of Nations, Essam El-Hadary climbs down from his
crossbar celebrating and Egypt put their trophy back in the cabinet, it is time for me to name my
Best XI of the tournament. This year is slightly different to the last Cup of Nations. In Ghana I
had to pick a team of the tournament and a second team, such was the plethora of top quality
performers in 2008.
It began in terror and ended in outrage. When history comes to judge the 2010 African Cup of
Nations I imagine it will not do so too kindly - a tournament which promised so much but, thanks to
a fatal mixture of politics, terror and head-bangingly insensitive executive decisions, became less
about the spectacle on the pitch and more about affairs off it.
