AFCON 2012: Separating contenders from pretenders?
Comments(23)Group Standings after 1st Group Matches:
Just a reminder to all Group Leaders: During AFCON Angola 2010, after each team in Group A played a game each, Malawi led Group A (after beating Algeria 3-0). Malawi lost the remaining two matches (Angola 2:0 Malawi and Mali 3:1 Malawi) and ended up 4th (last). Algeria were last after one match but made it to the 1/4 finals after the 1-0 win over Mali and the “…..” 0:0 draw with Angola.
This poll is still open.
