Ghana 2 Guinea 1 FT

Good start for the hosts then. Last gasp winner for Ghana apparently.

I presume all these games are on Eurosport or something?

The Ghana vs Guinea game was coming on BBC Three, I don't know if they are showing any more.

Oh my gosh, anyone watching Nambia vs Morocco?
Morocco are currently winning 2 - 1 but the biggest shock is how fat the referee is... he's huge!

On Eurosport Live right now!

Nigeria v Ivory Coast not long kicked off. Press the red button BBC1 (thanks Bpatel)

I've got Virgin Media and I tried to press the red button on BBC1 but nothing happened....

SO I'm just using British Eurosport

Didn't suppose to use capitals for the word 'so' ... sorry

Anyway I'd just like to say that I think the music in the background of the stadiums in Africa sounds beautiful, don't know what instruments the fans are using but it makes it feel special

Power Cut at the stadium "Someone put 50p in the meter" < stolen off 606

Not you, but to the person who is criticizing the Nation of Africa with that comment!
Africa is where life started from, Africa is still most natural.

Long live AFRICA

Come on Tunisia, show Senegal what you've got!

I want winner to be North African team, prefarably Tunisia if not then Morocco. I also like Nigeria, but think of Ivory Coast as scum.. maybe because they have Prem players in team such as Drogba, Kalou, Toure, Eboue, Zokora etc

Ive not watched any of it yet but I hope Mali do well the longer Momo is away from Anfield the better.

I've watched plenty of games.

Saw Ivory Coast vs Nigeria, Morocco vs Namibia, SA vs Angola, Tunisia vs Senegal, Mali vs some next team and now Morocco vs Guinea

I think best teams are Ivory Coast and Egypt

Yeh Egypt are quality, they are probably on the same level as Ghana, but Ivory Coast are a league above the rest!

Anyone watching Ghana v Nigeria? Second half just kicked off. 1-1 at the moment.

Ghana down to ten men but have just scored to make it 2-1. Looks like they are headed into the semi fianls. Less than ten minutes to go. Been a decent game this.

Anyone we know playing Ken ?

Yeah Smiggs. Essien, Mikel (got subbed) Yobo, Yakubu, Agogo (plays for Forrest and has scored what looks like to be the winner)...

Free kick to Nigeria in the last minutes....came to nothing. Nigeria out!

Good, keeps them out there a bit longer 

Well Yukubu and Yobo will be on their way home now. Let's hope their flights are seriously delayed! 

Ghana won with 10 men Essien and Agogo scored for Ghana, and this guy called Yakubu scored a penalty with a fantastic waddle up.

Ivory Coast v Guinea at 8pm BBC3.

The music they play after a game on the BBC is quite funked up isn't it.

Hope Egypt & Tunisia go through tommorow. We need some North African's in the tie, not all west Africans.

Oh and these refs being used for the ACON are seriously biased, African officials are seriously corrupt. Ghana got 'all' the 50 50 desicions towards them when playing Morocco... same with Senegal against Tunisia.
