Got some updates:
(Not sure how far into the match for these games)

Malawi 0-0 Angola
Zambia 0-1 Benin
Tanzania 1-1 Sudan
Mauritius 0-0 Madagascar

[desertfox2]

Final results:

Malawi 1-0 Angola
Zambia 1-1 Benin
Tanzania 1-2 Sudan
Mauritius 0-1 Madagascar

Angola is in deep trouble now with this shock result. Also, Sudan is back in the race with their win and Benin's draw with Zambia. Egypt's task as well has become even more difficult now as Madagascar has won again.

[Ludahai]

Results from October 12 (sorry if there are any repeats)

Mauritius 0:1 Madagascar

Group 1

Malawi 1:0 Angola

Group 3

Tanzania 1:2 Sudan
Zambia 1:1 Benin

Group 5

Cape Verde 0:1 Kenya

Group 6

Eritrea 0:1 Zimbabwe

Group 7

Sierra Leone 2:0 Gabon

[desertfox2]

Results so far from October 13th:

Mozambique 0-3 Congo
South Africa 2-0 Burundi
Swaziland 2-1 Libya

In progress:

DR Congo 2-0 Botswana (late 2nd half)

I'm surprised with Swaziland coming back to beat Libya. Maybe they will challenge in group 9.

Ludahai- thanks for keeping us updated.

So how is Zimbabwe gonna screw themselves this time? Might we be seeing Madagasgar and Swaziland in the finals? What happened to the Lesotho Crocodiles?

ACNQ starts again at the end of March.

Tanzania is playing two games against Uganda over the next few weeks. Training has started for Tanzania but only 8 players showed up. The coaches didn't even show.... :eek:

http://allafrica.com/stories/200303070552.html

Liberia might not have money to travel to Ethiopia

"... provide funds for the Lone Star to travel to Ethiopia to honor the qualifiers due to the numerous problems he has on hands, like the on going rebel war, coupled with the United Nations' imposed sanctions."

I can't wait for these matches to start, it's been a while. Also, just wanted to mention that I have an article at www.soccerwriter.com which is a group round-up of the ANC Qualifying Round. If you'd like to read it, go to that site and on the main page click on "other libraries" on the left, then click the red link. It's my oldest article, but it is still revelant since we are still in between matchdays. So check it out! A lot will be on the line at the end of this month.

[Canadian_Supporter]

Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

Some more ANCQ news...

"Malawi's veteran midfielder Ernest Mtawali says he wants to come out of retirement to represent his country in their crucial Nations Cup qualifier against Nigeria."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/2829869.stm

Mtawali hasn't played for his country in two years, and is currently doesn't have a club. Even though he is considered a national hero, Malawi must have better options on their national team.

"The Ethiopian Senior National Team has kick-started preparations for the vital African Nations Cup qualifier against Liberia on March 30. A preliminary squad of 25 players has been named and the team is now staying at the Ethiopian Hotel from where it trains at the Addis Ababa Stadium twice a day."

http://allafrica.com/stories/200303140339.html

I think Ethiopia has an excellent chance to win this game because the Liberian team is currently a mess. In fact, they might not even make it to Ethiopia because the FA doesn't have the money.

Central African Republic at Congo postponed

A military coup has happened in C.A.R earlier this month and it has made it difficult for the game to go ahead.

The game will be rescheduled at a later date.

http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-congo&prov=reuters&type=lgns

Venue switched for Egypt at Mauritius because of security concerns

The game will now be played at a stadium that holds 800 people.

"No tickets will be sold for the match with invites being sent to officials, players, sponsors and youngsters from the football academy of a local club."

Mauritius also set an attendance all time low for an ANCQ in June 2001 when only 78 people showed up to watch them play Liberia. :eek:

Ivory Coast prepare for Burundi clash

"Former Africa champions Ivory Coast have set up camp in Kenya to prepare for their African Nations Cup qualifier against Burundi in Bujumbura on Sunday."

[desertfox2]

some final results from today:

Mauritius 0-1 Egypt
Nigeria 1-0 Malawi
Zambia 1-0 Tanzania
Mauritania 0-4 Kenya

In progress:

Cape Verde Is 0-0 Togo (1st half)
Gabon 1-0 Equatorial Guinea (1st half)
Rwanda 0-0 Uganda (1st half)

None of these results are really that surprising, huge wins for Egypt and Nigeria. Many games left though.

[desertfox2]

more final results:

Gabon 4-0 Equatorial Guinea
Uganda 0-0 Rwanda

in progress:

Togo 0-0 Cape Verde Is (late 2nd half)
Morocco 0-0 Sierra Leone (2nd half)

[desertfox2]

one more final result:

Sierra Leone 0-0 Morocco

The bbc site is weird, they had Togo-Cape Verde Is. match and the Sudan-Benin match going but I don't even think they were playing.

Anyways, this was a good draw for Morocco as the two teams fight for first in the group.
