On a vaguely ACN theme, anyone know why Kebe is not in the Mali squad? Overlooked or not wanting to represent them anymore?

Just not picked I think. They aren't short of talented midfielders, and a lot of their squad comes from Ligue 1.

TBM is pretty sharp at getting in early with big threads for minimal work.

Mali's squad is amazing. They've got 4 Coulibalys, 3 Diarras, 3 Traores, 2 Diakites and 2 Mamadou Samassas.

Kebe should change his name.

I hope Sunzu's trial goes well and doesn't affect his performances. at least RFC's nice and close to the airport and it's a direct flight

Morocco to be without Taarabt, Chamakh, and Kharja.
I can see Angola going through at Morocco's expense.

I always root for Ghana.

I didn't catch today's games but doesn't look like I missed out on much.

Return of the vuvuzela - gotta admit I missed that sound - one that annoyed the hell out of me when the World Cup started

It looked like there were about 5000 people at the Angola-Morocco game earlier.
