Group A: African Cup of Nations Preview (Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Senegal, Zambia) is a post
from: Just Football
No introductions, you know what this is. The African Cup of Nations 2012, in
all its resplendent glory. This will be the 28th edition of the Cup of Nations and the third
covered on Just Football after 2008 and 2010.

I can't even think the last time I called two penalty kicks against the same team - most of the
time they're smart enough to avoid it. But there they were, both in the second half and within 15

cards.
I'm rather fortunate that I let my instincts take over on the game, because as you could tell from
my last entry, I was not in a good place emotionally to run the game.
