The Africa Cup of Nations gets underway this coming Sunday when host nation, Angola, will face Malawi at the capital, Lunanda.  However, the question still burns on whether the Africa Cup of Nations should be held during turn of the year and so near to the big World Cup showdown in the summer.

The Africa Cup of Nations was hit with the unwanted news of  gun attacks on the Togo football as they traveled across the DR Congo borders. AK 47 Machine gunned ridden and a call of “Act of Terrorism”, it seems Togo might have to pull out of the tournament.

As we shoot on the issues of the Africa Cup of Nations, how many European managers are fuming about realising their players for the tournament. Most vocal managers, in the past, present and future, Arsenal Arsene Wenger, Inter Jose Mourinho, any struggling clubs have tried to prevent their players from leaving using the famous counteract, “who plays the wages”? Clubs wants a change, the CAF hasn’t bite.

Last but not least, would an African country be able to win a World Cup? On one hand, The African Nation of Cup gives the Africans countries a good head start with a 6 month preparation. However, coming off a major tournament and then players going back to their club’s campiagn could burn them out even before the first football is kicked in the World Cup. The show must go on with or without the players, thats for sure.

In the end, football is a money making machine, whether it is the TV, Bookies, tipster, bets, coke cola, candy, football shirts or even just your cornershop. The only losers are the clubs without their African players while the Federations knows that the show must go on and that’s what we say too at Bettingexpert. So go on you big tipsters, get your tips up for the Africa Cup of Nations as it starts this Sunday. As we are still shooting for the sky, Dider Drogba picked up the 2009 BBC African Footballer of the Year.
