Why has it been cancelled???

[sidspaceman]

The article does not really say but I think what happened was that the Nigerian fed announced the game before it could be finalized.

The match between Angola and Mozambique has been called off (again) because Mozambique doesn't have a coach and they are finding it difficult to put a team together.

The coach of Angola was disappointed because he wanted to use the game as a test for new players.... Figueiredo who plays for Santa Clara and another player who is playing in Turkey.

Namibia might be called in as late replacements. The game was supposed to be played on Feb 12th.

Apparently there was a pitch invasion before the Senegal and Morocco match.

"Hundreds of fans invaded the pitch, causing a delay of nearly two hours, before the match kicked off."

Shock result of the day...

Benin 1 Ghana 0

Goal was by Alain Gaspoz in the 17th minute.

I wonder what type of team Ghana sent? Either way Ghana should never lose to Benin.

Gambia hosts Nigeria today... here is a link to the rosters:

The Nigerian team is made up of all home based players while Gambia 10 foreign based players.
