Over the past couple of weeks Africa has transformed into the centre stage of world football, where South Africa hosted the 29th edition of the African Cup of Nations. Like all tournaments, twists and turns unfolded on such a vibrant place where the beautiful game is played: title-holders Zambia crashed out early, Cabo Verde made a name for themselves and Drogba once again failed to take the trophy home for Les Éléphants.
Winning the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 1994, Nigeria were obviously eager to celebrate after beating Burkina Faso 1-0 in the final. In fact, Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama was so eager to celebrate that as soon as the referee took the ball from him and blew the final whistle, he tried to jam his head between the official's legs and lift him up on his shoulders.

The African Cup of Nations came to a dramatic close on Sunday, with Nigeria ending a 19-year drought at the competition to lift the winner's trophy for the third time in their history with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Burkina Faso.
Nigeria won their third Africa Cup of Nations title, beating Burkina Faso 1-0 in the final. Midfielder Sunday Mba scored the match's only goal and it was one worthy of a title. In the 40th minute, Mba took control of a deflected ball just outside the box, flipped the ball over a defender's head and scored with a volley just before another defender could get to it.

Burkina Faso and Nigeria are scheduled to meet tonight in the finals of the African Cup of Nations! Jonathan Pitroipa, Burkina Faso's squad's star striker, who has unfortunately been suspended from the game, has been speaking about the exciting final.
This weekend's must-see fixture is the African Nations Cup final when Nigeria and Burkina Faso duke it out in Johannesburg.
Burkina Faso will be taking part in its first ever African Nations Cup final, and they have been handed a big boost following a successful appeal of striker Jonathan Pitroipa's controversial red cardin the semi-final match against Ghana.
After a mid-week round of international matches, club sides all over the world return to action this weekend, with a full programme of matches in all of the major leagues. With some top European clashes on offer this weekend, plus of course the small matter of the African Cup of Nations to settle, there are a wealth of games well worth the watch over this coming weekend.
As we posted to the tumblr yesterday morning, there were at least 10 international matches of interest yesterday, ranging from the Africa Cup of Nations semifinals in the morning, to a bunch of international friendlies in mid-afternoon, and capped off by the 1st three Hex matches.
Here's a roundup of various match notes and observations from the CultFootball crew:
The twoAfrica Cup of Nations semifinals: I put on the first semifinal, Mali vs Nigeria, midway thru the 1st half, and quickly saw Nigeria go up 3-0 within the span of 20 minutes.
Ghana disappointed again. Granted, they have not looked good in the tournament, and were lucky not to be eliminated by Cape Verde, but they remained favourites against Burkina Faso, who had never made it to a final before. As two years ago, penalty kicks in South Africa proved to be Ghana's doom, and just as Ivory Coast, Ghana must start to consider whether they are also a version of "old Spain",
Matt Pentz reminds us it's getting close at the Africa Cup of Nations
The 2013 African Cup of Nations has been whittled down to four.
In theory, the final four is perfectly balanced: The runaway favorite (Ghana), the resurgent challenger (Nigeria), the sentimental dark horse (Mali) and the outsider (Burkina Faso).
With the time difference I have not had much chance to watch the Africa Cup of Nations. A couple of days ago I saw Nigeria's two penalty victory against Ethiopia in Group C that put the giants in the next round. Nigeria is eager for a success that has eluded the African giants for years, but their team is not looking that strong.

With the Africa Cup of Nations 2013 almost here I thought I'd take a look at the players who make up the sixteen squads taking part in the competition. Some of the graphics are interactive, so feel free to have a click around.

Congratulations to Nigeria for winning the African Nations Cup after a solid 1-0 win over Burkina Faso on Sunday. Now for the bra fanfare... where on Earth did the crazy fan above get that idea?!
The colourful African Nations Cup is underway, and there's nothing better than the fans from Burkina Faso who turned up three hours early last week to support their team against Togo in 'full gear'. If you're thinking 'Predator', you're not the only one.... Also, cheer up South African fans! Not all is sad and depressing with the world.
Manchester City's latest stumble has put Manchester United in prime position to build a virtually insurmountable lead atop the English Premier League, but an opponent with its own big aspirations stands in the way.
Everton can pull within three points of fourth-place Tottenham with a victory on Sunday, but the Toffees will be taking on a Manchester United side that can extend the lead on Man City to 12 points.
Manchester City will continue their pursuit of Manchester United in the Premier League table this weekend with the aid of brothers Yaya and Kolo Toure, who have both returned from South Africa after Ivory Coast was knocked out in the quarter-final round.
In addition, Roberto Mancini was given another boost with the news that injured captain Vincent Kompany had trained with the club this week, and could be set for a return after two weeks on the sidelines, though the club will make their decision today on whether Kompany will feature.

'La Furia Roja' are preparing to face Uruguay in a friendly tomorrow, and naturally, the location of choice is Qatar (aka the 'hotspot' of choice for European teams now) after the local government paid US$4million to switch the location from Portugal to the Middle East.
Burkina Faso has made it to the semifinal of the Africa Cup of Nations after defeating Togo in extra time on a goal by the Rennes player Jonathan Pitroipa. They will now face their southern neighbours and huge favourites, Ghana. But Ghana has been unconvincing, and that will surely give the Burkinabe's hope that they can create a surprise and make it to the final, while Ghana must surely improve

O Tourizense, equipa da zona Centro da IIª Divisão que este domingo recebe o Santa Clara em jogo da quarta eliminatória da Taça de Portugal, tem nas suas fileiras um futebolista com um nome de peso. O craque em causa é Issouf Hamed Zidane Zoungrana, mas o seu "nome de guerra" no meio futebolístico é, obviamente, Zidane.
O carismático guarda-redes brasileiro Nilson saiu pela porta pequena do Vitória de Guimarães que
representou nas últimas sete épocas. A justificação dada pelo clube no seu site oficial foi a
de que a rescisão com o veterano atleta de 36 anos, que seria um dos mais bem pagos do plantel,
estava relacionada com razões económicas: «Com este desfecho, e no âmbito da profunda
reestruturação em vigor, a direcção do Vitória Sport Clube deu mais um importante passo com
vista sua sustentabilidade financeira», diz o curto comunicado.
