Anyone going to follow the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations at all?

The teams what will qualify are:

South Africa (hosts)
Mali
Zimbabwe
Ghana
Nigeria
Zambia (holders)
Cameroon
Morocco
Tunisia
Guinea
Sudan
Libya
Ivory Coast
Congo DR
Togo
Central African Republic

One thing I don't like about the ACN though is this:

Played every two years not ever 4 years.
It should expand to 24 teams.
Should not be played on the same year of the FIFA Confederations Cup.
It should be played the same time as the Copa America.

Hmm, both Morocco and Cameroon have to overturn 2-0 losses in the return leg at home to qualify. Libya lost 1-0 at home to Algeria, so tough to go over there an overturn that.

 Years ago I went to the Nations Cup. In Senegal. Was one of the better things I have done. Check out this quality vid of the Ghana/Zambia match - CAN 1992

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

 Games are live here and have been great to watch, but lack of goals is the problem.
