African Nations Cup

I see Zambia beat the favourites Ivory Coast after a dramatic penalty shoot out. I like unusual statistics and one here is that Ivory Coast failed to win the competition despite playing 6 games and not conceding a single goal. It's not just ICT who need their strikers to be scoring more. Mind you, unlike ICT, Ivory Coast had a penalty awarded but Drogba of all people fired high and wide.

Absolutely incredible that the Ivory Coast did not win the competition considering they didnt concede any goals in normal play.

I watched the shoot out last night and was amazed by the standard of penalties taken, barring the misses from Toure and Gervinho the quality of penalties were remarkable. The majority of which were unsavable, there was one in particular from the Zambian number 19, he barely looked old enough to be playing but rocketed it into the absolute uppermost corner of the goal frame.

Always great to see the under-dog triumph and i have to say was delighted when they stuck away the last pen. Goes to show that all these superstars playing in the EPL arent all they cracked up to be
