africa cup of nations starts today

[Wile E Coyote]

not a gambling man, but i think egypt will hammer the zimbabwe 5-1 today.

Doctor Congo versus uganda tomorrow should be interesting, I'll go with 1-0 Uganda

It’s on Eurosport 2 kick off 9pm

I find it really weird that there will be more coverage of this than the current Copa America, although it may be that Eurosport got it cheap as chips. The joint second biggest football tournament in the world is currently being played and hardly anyone in this country can see it. Who exactly are Premier Sport anyway or whatever they are called?
Incidentally Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay are looking good - Argentina are struggling (yet again) and have to win their last match to stand any chance (albeit against Qatar). Chile (current champions and winners for two tournaments running) probably need a draw with Uruguay to move on.

Might be that the Afcon KO times are better for European audiences than the Copa ones.

Isn't it usually played in January?

They have moved it to the summer going forward to bring it into line with the other continental championships.
