Well obviously you want your country to go through, and us who are not from Nigeria couldn't give a damn how well they do, that's a fair thing to say. The sooner we get Moses back the better it is for Chelsea.
No offence but having never even been to Africa I couldn't really care less over who wins ACON, I just don't understand why this tournament has to happen every year when a far bigger footballing continent like Europe is satisfied with every four.
It doesn't happen EVERY year. The tournament takes place in consecutive years now only because they want to change it so that the African Cup of Nations won't take place in the same year as the World Cup. It's easy for Europeans to say that they should have their championship tournament every four years when UEFA has almost as many places in the World Cup as there have been teams in the Euros. Top European teams get top quality matches every two years and even most of the qualifiers are tough matches. If African football wants to evolve, they need to play tough competitive matches and I don't see any other way for them to do that(ACON every two years).
You think playing a month of fixtures (or less for most of the teams) every 2 years will evolve their players by the matches being tough and competitive?
The players will learn the most from their day to day football, but what about the national teams? Yes, there are African players playing in Europe, but if they rarely played together, how would their national teams make any progress?

Good luck choosing the player of the tournament. I could player better than these players, nearly every shot is ballooned over the bar, it's just awful, they can't even string a few passes together and create a decent move, it really is the worst football competition i have seen in my life.
