African Cup of Nations in Morocco starts this Sunday. Unbelievable Nigeria have not called up Peter Ambrose for their squad but Tribute Act, Victims, Hibs, Hearts, Motherwell and St Mirren all do have players going. 
 

All games being shown on channel 4.

First of the quarter finals are tomorrow 

Mail v Senegal 4pm

Cameroon v Morocco at 7pm

 

Senegal beat 10 man Mali 1-0 in first quarter final. Due to my work actually wanting me to do what they pay me for never got a chance to watch any of it.

Fascist bastards. You should speak to your union about this.

Morocco 1-0 up on Cameroon after 25 minutes. Brahim Diaz with his 5th goal of the tournament.

Morocco 2-0 up now. Cameroon have not been able to get close to breaching the Moroccan defence. 

Finished 2-0 to Morocco. Never in doubt as soon as they got ahead. Look like they will be very hard to beat in June as very strong defensively. Never gave Cameroon a sniff of goal tonight. 

Today’s games are 

Algeria v Nigeria 4pm

Egypt v Ivory Coast 7pm

 

Pretty tight affair between Algeria and Nigeria so far. 0-0 at half time. 

Nigeria much better in second half and running out deserved 2-0 winners.

Mate is at Egypt v Ivory Coast tonight 

Currently 1-0 Egypt.

Aye looks it. Cracking game he has got as well. 2-0 Egypt now. But been end to end. 

2-1 at half time been really good game so far. 

Currently 3-2 Egypt with 12 minutes left. Been entertaining game. 

Finished 3-2 to Egypt. Best of quarter finals. Holders out. Semi finals are Senegal v Egypt and Morocco v Nigeria. 

First game today is Senegal v Egypt at 5pm followed by Morocco v Nigeria at 8pm.

0-0 at half time. Senegal with all the possession but unable to breakdown a stout Egyptian defence. Cannot remember Egypt touching the ball in the Senegalese box in first half.

To be fair, if Egypt are playing again at 8pm, I can understand them not wanting to expend too much energy attacking.

Finished 1-0 Senegal. Missed second half as went out to get picture with Scottish Cup.

Much better game between Morocco and Nigeria but same half time result as the first game. Both sides had chances and hard to call who will win this one.

Surprisingly finished 0-0 so going into extra time. 

Penalties in the Morocco v Nigeria game.

Morocco win 4-2 on penalties. Nigerian penalties were really poor. 

Morocco v Senegal on Sunday.
