AFRICAN NATIONS CUP

Written by Dunni and Lola

The African Nations Cup started on the 10th of January 2010 with  Angola being the host country. I enjoy watching the African Nations Cup because, it is a competition that brings all African people together. The Nations Cup is about celebrating the special and talented players in Africa.
I am a huge Nigerian supporter since, it is the country of my origin. I hope Nigeria win the Nations Cup. Nigeria's star player is John Obi Mikel. He has unbelieveable talent and could potentailly become great. He plays for Chelsea football club. He is a midfielder and Nigeria's playmaker.
There are other amazing teams in the Nations Cup. Ivory Coast, who are the favourites, have the most talented bunch of players in Africa. Their star man Didier Drogba plays for Chelsea football club. Cameroon who are four times African Nations Cup champions will be very hard to beat. Their star man is Samuel E'to who plays for Inter Milan. Ghana have the most solid team in the competition. Their star man is Michael Essien who plays for Chelsea football club. The other team to watch out for are the five times and the winners of the last two tornaments, Egypt. Their star man is Mohamed Zidan who plays for Borussia Dortmund. The outsiders are the ever so dangerous Algerians. The Algerians qualified for their first world cup since, 1982. Their star man is Karim Ziani who plays for Vfl Wolfsburg.

Tune in on EuroSport at 3:30 and 6:30 daily to enjoy Africa's best players on show.

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”
