Angola vs Mali. What an opening game. Angola was winning 4-0 in the 70th odd minute but Mali came back to draw the game scoring 3 goals after 89 minutes. Very entertaining. I didnt expect much but was surprised.

What a game! AFCON = Most entertaining tournament in football.
Angola stunned by Mali fightback
It looks like Africa is producing its finest despite the human tragedy in Cabinda.

From now on almost all the games will be delayed on the SABC, with broadcast times of 22h00, 23h00 etc.
Really smart of SABC. Pay 1 billion rands for broadcasting rights and then show the games delayed.
Whilst I personally do not give a rats ass about SABC or its programming, I do feel for the 1000's of South Africans who rely on this EPIC FAIL of an institution for their footie! At that time of night many won't be able to watch, especially if it's work the next day (and Kuga is excluded here 
).
I do wish somehow Supersport could find a way to broadcast it to the masses.

On a brighter note . . . today's games are:
17:00 Egypt v Nigeria . . . and it should be a scintillating game.
19:30 Mozambique v Benin . . . will be rooting for our neighbours.

I also don't understand why SABC cannot reschedule the crap (Generations, is not a critical live event :twisted
that plays in their channels to a later time.

But that crap pays their billsI also don't understand why SABC cannot reschedule the crap (Generations, is not a critical live event :twisted
Anyway, why would SABC pay R1bn for rights when their total turn over is in the R6bn range sure 1/6 on one 4 week event is paying over the odds? Why didn't they sub-lease from SS?

I beg to differ - a team that races to a 4-0 lead and then go to sleep and end up drawing can never get that far.
I know. They have the home support and they qualified in the last WC.
On paper, Angola is the strongest in SADC. Most of Mozambique, Malawi, and Zambia's play in SA where as some/most of Angola's players play overseas.
All I'm saying is North Africa is stronger than SADC, as we know. And I support all the SADC aquads.
The Angolan team is not very strong diffensively(they might have gained two spot kicks during the Mali game but that will is unlikely to happen in their reamining games)
The Premier Soccer League is one the toughest leagues in Africa. Don't believe me, ask all the top South African players that return from overseas stints only to find it tough going locally. Examples, Sibusiso Zuma, Benedict Vilakazi, Siyabonga Nkosi, Siyabonga Nomvethe, Collins Mbesuma (Zambia) etc...
Also note that most of the African players abroad are on the fringes and in the lower divisions.
SADC coutries are perhaps bad travellers but that should not be an issue as this tournament is being played in their region for the first time in like 15 years. Remember how well Zambia did in the 1996 AFCON?
Malawi has proven this fact yesterday. Now watch as Mozambique and Zambia spring surprises as well.
