Yeah, I’ve been hearing a lot about this Gervinho…unfortunately for him it’s a tough lineup to crack…unless you’re winning 4-0 of course.

You’re right Inara but none of the other teams have looked any better so far…Morocco thrashed Namibia but then lost to Guinea and Ghana has two unimpressive wins. Egypt could be the ones who are looking most dangerous after everyone plays 2 games…we’ll see.

Well, I wouldn’t read too much into it. Benin is one of the weakest teams in the tournament. Morocco put five goals past Namibia (though Namibia lost to Ghana by only one goal).

Smart move subbing Drogba, his services are no longer needed. He can rest and we can see some new talent as well.

Class of the tournament for sure so far. 5 goals, 5 different goal scorers. I guess with scoring like that you might not even miss kolo. :)

Actually that was Laurie who found out about Ogubunyi and wrote the preview. She knows stuff.

That was class by Drogba setting up that Dindane goal.

I want to see them score even more so I can watch their little dance.

YES!!!!!!!!

You know, we at Lyon have been waiting for Keita to regain the form he had last year with Lille. He’s our club’s most expensive transfer (18m euros), so his performance in the first half of the year was disappointing. So the hope was that Keita would have a really good ACN, come back happy, and bring back that explosive form to Lyon.
