Togo’s Emmanuel Adebayor loses his mind this week against Tottenham Hotspurs. Maybe itsbecause he is stuck in soggy London and not in Ghana where all the fun is.
The latter action (in the 2008 African Cup of Nations) continues today when South Africa (one of the teams expected to crash and burn early in the ACN) takes on Angola today. I’m rooting for the homeland of course, but this could be Manucho (and I don’t even like Manchester United) and Angola’s moment.
Let’s hope South Africa’s World Cup winning Brazilian coach Carlos Alberto Parreira earns his 1.8 million Rands per month salary (that’s about US$250,000) and that leaving Benni McCarthy and Delron Buckley out of the team was not such a bad idea after all. Was Parreira right? Is this Steven Pienaar’s tournament? Some of those questions will be answered today.
