The game is getting more interesting! That’s what you hear from ardent followers of the on-going African Cup of Nations, AFCON, tournament co-hosting by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

As second Group A matches are being played today, opinion varies on which team will emerge victorious.

This is because, some teams that lost their opening matches showed character and determinations, and therefore, can not be written off.

The outcome of today’s matches is very important as it serve as a determinant to who stays or leaves the competition.

For instance, if Zambia defeats Libya, they will be cruising to quarter final stage while Libya may be heading home as the first team to exit the tournament. The same applies to Senegal and Equatorial Guinea.

As we await the results of the matches, what is your take on today’s matches? Will Libya be the first team to leave the tournament? Feel free to share your experiences, expectations, surprises and disappointments of the tournament .. ., as we continue to see wonders of the game.!!!
