We expect James Perch to keep his position in central midfield alongside Danny Guthrie for
today's tough game at White Hart Lane. James Perch will play alongside Danny Guthrie in midfield
And that's because Yohan Cabaye serves the third game of his three match suspension for violent
conduct, and Cheick Tiote will be playing for the Ivory Coast in the final of [.
Did you guys see that goal against Mali? Class it was. Gervinho had very good technique to place it
with such a tight angle in place. However the most important thing about the goal was that it fell
to Gervinho to score. He could have messed that up with so much time on the ball, [...]
Admit it, there's nothing more exciting than football drama, and
today's United-Liverpool showdown at Old Trafford has all the ingredients that
scream "Phantom Of The SuarezGate II!" Whether Patrice
Evra and Luis Suarez will be :
a) shaking hands (-20 points),
b) doing the Uruguayan cumbia dance (+10 points) or
c) shoving jalapeños down each other's throats (+40 points) ;
Past statistics favour goals from both sides and hopefully mio dios!

In 1993, April 27th to be precise, the Zambian national team suffered a terrible tragedy (the
country's worst sporting disaster) when a flight taking the entire Zambian squad and their
management to a World Cup qualifying match in Senegal crashed into the Atlantic Ocean 500 metres
off the coast of Libreville, Gabon.
Above, you see Zambia's Emmanuel Mayuka celebrating after scoring the game's only goal against
Ghana in the African Nations Cup semi-final yesterday. Asamoah Gyan had missed an 8th minute
penalty kick for Ghana and was removed for a substitute late in the game.Asamoah Gyan was fouled in
the box and took the penalty himself, but Zambia goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene made the save to keep
the game

Well, despite our promises, the Africa Cup of Nations has been continuing without us paying it
the slightest bit of attention.
The winning goal for the Taranga Lions was all Gervinho in the 44th minute. The Arsenal winger
robbed the ball well behind the half line, and then turned on the burners to blow past the Malian
defense down the left channel, cutting in for a superb finish.
Arsenal cannot wait to have him back.
The amazing Chipolopolos scored the winning goal in the 77th minute as substitute Emmanuel
Mayuka found space and on the turn curled a right footed shot past Adam Kwarsey in goal. It was
probably the second chance for the Zambians and very much against the run of play.
The Black Stars should have gone ahead early as Asamoah Gyan missed out on a golden chance when
his penalty was stopped by Kennedy Mweene (bringing back painful memories of his World Cup PK miss
against Uruguay).
The finalists for the 28th edition of the AFCON are now known after thrilling semi-final
fixtures last night. The Ivory Coast will now face Zambia who made it to the final after causing
one of the biggest upsets of the entire tournament by knocking out Ghana. The Black Stars however
have no one to blame but themselves for their exist after failing to make a host of chances they
had count including a missed penalty by Asamoah Gyan.

Buenas! The realists and statisticians among you won't be surprised that Barcelona
defeated the very loveable Valencia 2-0 last night. But as it seems, Madrid are
frontrunners to win the La Liga, so el Blaugranas will be hoping to take home their 26th
Spanish Cup title title.

On this week's review section we congratulate Zambia and the Ivory Coast on making it through to
the Africa Cup of Nations final, while we look at the crisis with the England national team. You
can listen to these and other stories on our weekly podcast
STARTERSFabio Capello has quit as coach of England, over the FA's decision to not allow the idiot John
Terry to be captain.
-I guess Capello felt undermined by the decision and could not be in charge of his team at Euro
2012.
-Stuart Pearce has been named interim head coach.
A superb individual goal from Arsenal forward Gervinho put Ivory Coast into the African Nations
Cup...

Capell0 has resigned. Everybody tosses rocks at the FA's glass house, yet we struggle to
articulate our feelings. For sure, changing coaches on the cusp of a major tournament is never
good. Remember the Ivory Coast drama before the 2010 World Cup? Yes, the FA could have better
included Capello in the John Terry issue.
Odds before the tournament of Zambia making it to the AFCON final probably weren't particularly
high they've never won and have only been to two finals, the last nearly twenty years ago. ELO has
them 56th in the world, but for all intents and purposes, they'll be at least second on the
continent come Sunday after Emmanuel Mayuka's goal against Ghana today, cementing their late
upset.
It is hard not to have sympathy for Zambia's football team: in the 80s and early 90s they were an
important part of the African football awakening that was to take the world by storm right until
1993, when the entire team was killed in an air disaster when heading to a World Qualifier. While
in 1994 they made it to the African Nations Cup final, they still never fully recovered from the
There is plenty of high-profile soccer going on around the world this Wednesday, but perhaps no
games carry as much significance as the two African Cup of Nations semifinals. Ivory Coast and
Ghana took care of business in the African Cup of Nations quarterfinals with matching 3-0
victories, and all that stands in the way of a star-studded tournament final is one more win for
each team.

Another week, another huge day for the LA Galaxy as they sign a new loan deal with Sao Paolo for
the services of central midfielder Juninho, one of the unsung heroes of their great 2011 season.
Co-hosts Gabon looked like it was going to be headed to their best showing in any ACN when Eric
Mouloungui shot them into the lead in the 55th minute. But Mali had other ideas as Cheick Diabate
equalized in the 84th minute. At the end of extra time, with the two teams deadlocked, the fate of
the match was decided on PK shootout.

'Twas the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals over the weekend, with Ivory Coast whupping
co-hosts Equatorial Guinea 3-0 on Saturday courtesy of a brace from young Didier of Drogbashire and
a colossal 32.808399-yard free-kick from Yaya Toure...
Would you just look at the swing on that?
Yes, I admit that I enjoyed American Football today, Super Bowl Sunday, but in the rest of the
world, Association Football was played as usual. Especially in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea,
co-hosts of the 2012 African Nations Cup.Yesterday, powerful co-favorites Ivory Coast defeated
co-host Equatorial Guinea 3-0.

Zambia cruised past Sudan, 3-0 to the semi-finals of the ACN, the first time since 1996. Sudan
made things difficult for themselves after Ali Saif Eldin was sent off for his second violation
when he brought down Rainford Kalaba in the 63rd minute. By that time the Chipolopolos (The Copper
Miners) were already a goal up from Sunzu Stoppila.
Didier Drogba could not be denied as he made up for a missed penalty by pouring in a brace.
Ivory Coast added another through Yaya Toure as they send Equatorial Guinea, the co-hosts, out of
the ACN. The Taranga Lions are through to the semi-finals.
Drogba will be missing today's huge showdown with Man Utd, and in his absence, Chelsea is hoping
that misfiring Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge, take up the goalscoring slack.
The Ivory Coast beat Equatorial Guinea last night 3-0 and advanced to the semi-final of the African
Cup of Nations. Drogba scores first goal for the Ivory Coast last night But Cheick Tiote was on the
bench as two goals from Didier Drogba and one from Yaha Toure was enough to see the side through

Two goals from Didier Drogba and a fine free kick from Yaya Toure gave Ivory Coast a comfortable
3-0 win over Co-host Equatorial Guinea to send the Elephants through to the Semi final where they
will face either Gabon or Mali.
In the day's earlier match Zambia beat 10 man Sudan with a scoreline to make it through to the
semis for the first time since 1996.

Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, have both managed to qualify for the Quarter Finals... Gabon in
