I agree that it is very racist the lack of diversity within the AFCON.
Maybe more european/whites should go and settle down* in those countries and then there would be some white players from there? Like in South africa almost all the cricketers are white.

*by settle down I obviously dont mean colonise and steal resources.
 
This is hilarious. 0-4, with goal difference being the determinant factor in the 3rd place teams, after points and head-to-head), seeing as the head-to-head rule can't happen as none of the 3rd place teams will have played each other, if that makes sense. I think.
 
So, from tonight's two later games: if there's a winner between Mozambique and Ghana, then the winner would go above Ivory Coast (should either finish 3rd), and if Egypt manage to at least draw against Cape Verde (who have already won the group), then that would be enough for them to go above Ivory Coast, should they end up finishing 3rd. Doesn't mean that Egypt would go through as that would be determined by the remaining games this week but it would take another 3rd place berth away from Ivory Coast.

I do hope you are all following.

Cape Verde ahead 1-0, which would likely mean Egypt go out

Now 1-1...
Wow... That's 'wow' as in a likely Egypt winner.
