After looking at Ivory Coast team sheet, I don't see any other team has a chance to beat them in this tournament on paper. I see Sportingbets offers them outright @ 1.75. Might have some value in it. Any opinion?

Senegal another lively contender, they start against Zambia on Saturday and I will go with both teams to score (yes)

On squad strength it should be Iv Coast Appie but Im not too interested in the outright market.

Preview of the opening match on Saturday, Equatorial Guinea v Libya, correct score 1-0 EQ and Libya also to win 1-0 is my speculative play.

AFCON Boooom!!     Great call 1-0 mackem, lovely start to the GFTG coverage, superb.

Hi guys. Gone for a spec. play in Senegal match correct score 3-1 at 19/1 for 0.5 units.

Chris, don't really know how you can hit the correct score market at such a consistent rate and it is also the start of the tourney! Great call there, hoping Ba will get you a goal tonight

nice Chris, your picks had me watching a bit of it last night, Senegal defence in 1st 30 min was shocking, leaving so much space for Zambia.

Following you today.

No joy on Sunday though I wasn't a millions miles away.....

Anyway Wednesday's Group A games, still some betting to come out.

Libya v Zambia, going with Chipolopolo 
http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/interna … eview.html

EQ Guinea v Senegal, going with Senegal

For quite a wile it looked like one goal might be enough batrico, stiff there, it was good bet. Disappointed with Morocco but managed a rofit on the day with Gabon ht/ft. Not as keen on todays games but will stick to my picks.

On the mark in both of Tuesday's matches, onto Group C on Friday and a couple of correct score picks in each game.....

Niger v Tunisia, going with Tunisia to win 1-0 and 2-1
http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/interna … eview.html

Gabon v Morocco, going with 1-1 and Morocco to win 2-1

Cheers South, no joy yesterday though Im afraid, I was really sweet on both Zambia and Senegal. Not making excuses about the waterlogged pitch for losing bets but I cant honestly remember a game starting in such poor conditions. It was atrocious.

Senegal were third favs and they are already out, I thought they would go close.

Blank again yesterday  still in front on this tourney although early afcon profits have been slashed.

Sunday's final group A games.....

EQ Guinea v Zambia, Half Time draw and HT/FT Draw/Zambia
http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/interna … eview.html

Mackem, how is your heart after thats shot hitting the post in the final kick. Great call.   

Well done Chris, I followed you with the 1-2 scoreline - happy to have squeaked in. 

Chris, I hope lightning can strike twice in one evening - followed you with 1-2 scoreline @ 10/1; both teams to score (Y) @ 1/1 and over 2.5 goals @ 13/10. I think the group is now nicely poised and both teams will be keen for a result. Lets' hold thumbs.

Shot Chris, it was a good (winning) game to close off the evening - flood of goals in the second half.  The Met takes precedence today, but I'll look to get involved in the Ghana/Mali game later in this evening.

Stiff with BTS in the Ghana game Charles, I survived with the half time draw in that game and Guinea came home with a record score so Friday and Saturday matches have gone really well. 1/4 final picture will start to take shape from today

Cheer South these final round of group matches could prove tricky but hopefull of keeping this run going.

Monday's Group B games

Ivory Coast v Angola, going 1-0 to IC
http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/interna … eview.html

Sudan v Burkina Faso, going with BTS (yes)
http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/interna … eview.html

Shot South, crowned a decent AFCON weekend for me.

Sorry a bit late with these previews for Tuesday

Gabon v Tunisia, going 0-0 and 1-1 in correct score market
http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/interna … eview.html

Niger v Morocco, going with Morocco over 1.5 goals
http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/interna … eview.html

Disappointing to miss out in both games last night, that Tunisia goalkeeper was an absolute time bomb. Hopefully can make up for it with the last group matches tonight and I'll work on the quarter finals which start on the weekend.

Nice one on Ghana v Guinea HT draw mackem, nailed on stroke of half-time!

The 1/4 finals should see the class come through - from what I've seen of Zambia they're a real threat in this tournament, and Ivory Coast should now be at their best following a couple games and should put away EG with a bit to spare. Will follow you and taking double @ 2.7/1.

On a sadder note - terrible scenes in Egyptian football with the loss of many lives there in rioting and fighting after a game last night.

Taken mali ht/ft at 8.5/1 for 2 units.

Also gone 10 units on under 2.5 goals in ghana match at 5/10.

Second semi final, Mali v Ivory Coast, going with HT/FT Draw/IC and 2-0 to IC in correct score market

Preview of Sunday's Final, Zambia v Ivory Coast.

My picks:
Both teams to score (yes) 15/10 BetXchange, World Sports Betting
Half with most goals, 2nd half 12/10 Hollywood

Shot for the coverage Chris.

Only 5 draws and one 0-0 in the tournament and there were certainly more goals than would have been expected upfront.
