The Africa Cup of Nations 2008 in Ghana has already finished it’s 11 day. Wow, how time flies. We have some news that the Group C Standings are decided and it went to Egypt with 7 points, +5 goal differential. Second was Cameroon with 6 points, a +5 goal differential. Zambia and Sudan have been eliminated from their chance at the cup, hey maybe next time.

In group D Angola and Tunisia are dominating so it will be interesting to see how well they can duke it out. They are saying that both teams seem to be equally matched so it could go either way.

Things should get interesting with the finals quickly approaching.

Ivory Coast’s resounding 4-1 victory over Benin at the African Nations Cup helped them move to the top of Group B, making them strong contenders for the quarter-finals. 

Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure scored late in the first half with Kader Keita and Aruna Dindane solidified the soccer club’s easy win.

Here are some highlights from today’s game:
