Not another thread bemoaning the loss of a few players but actually a discussion about the tournament itself. Is anyone planning on taking in any of the matches?
Tournament starts next Saturday and runs for 3 weeks until Sunday 5th February. The games are all live on British Eurosport at 4pm and 7pm. None of the knockout stages will clash with the traditional 9-5 worker as the QFs are all on a weekend and the semi final and final are all 7pm KO's.

Some interesting groups. Group B looks particularly tough with Algeria, Tunisia and Senegal all battling for 2 places, whereas host Gabon's group (A) looks much more favourable with 2 of the 5 outsiders involved.

Ivory Coast 7/2 favourites to retain their title, but i think Senegal's squad looks the strongest (on paper) so 6/1 at BetVictor looks decent value to me especially if they get out of their tough group.
Why can't they have this bloody tournament in the summer? Heat?
When are our players likely to go out?
Would need a fork lift truck to get him off the pitch.Saw on Facebook that Khazri was stretchered off in Tunisias friendly.
Commercialism has gone too farZimbabwe's squad win the best names competition: Hardlife Zvirekwi, Teenage Hadebe (age 21), Marvelous Nakamba and Knowledge Musona are all in their 23.
To me, the North African teams all look quite strong. The aforementioned Zimbabwe, Guinea Bissau, Uganda and Togo (even with Adebayor) probably making up the numbers.
Out in the group games then in time for Spurs or cup fourth round if we win. Out in the quarters - just about for Spurs, definitely for Palace, if they reach the semis, back for the Southampton game.
If I had to guess, I'd say Khazri was the most likely to be back after the group stage as Tunisia have Senegal and Algeria, two of the big favourites, along with Kone's Ivory Coast. I reckon Gabon should reach the quarters, possibly further with a good draw. In Aubameyang, they've potentially got the tournament's best player.

10 out of 12 is mental!
