Obi Mikel Victor Moses Arsenal:
Iwobi El Neny Manchester City:
Iheanacho Yaya Toure Manchester United:
Eric Baily Liverpool: Matip Sadio Mane Tottenham: Victor Wanyama Everton: Oumar Niasse Idrissa Gueye Arouna Koné Yannick Bolasie

Reyad Mehrez was chosen as the best African player in 2016
Iwobe was chosen as the best African youth player in 2016
Ihnacheo was chosen as the most promising talent in 2016 "Ramadan was competing for this prize but he lost it"

Here's the fixture list... ACON gamesBear in mind kick off times are listed GMT+2 on this site. It looks like Diouf is up first with Senegal's first game penned in for Sunday 15th Jan 21:00 (7 `O clock our time) Egypt's (Sobhi) first game Tuesday 17th Jan 21:00 (7 `O clock our time). Not for me, but for those that are fussed about watching Bony in action for Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) that's Monday 16th Jan 18:00 ( 4`O clock our time).

Never underestimate the reach of The Oatcake mb. I am actually in Bissau right now. It's a tiny country with three huge rivers, lots of cashew farms. The entire country has a national product probably less than MUFC. However there are some inexplicably expensive cars about the city (Colombian drug money or stolen in Europe ?) Its Guinea Bissau' s first qualification for AFCON. They know they will get tonked so not much excitement. I might be in Senegal when they play - they're really up for it there.

Have you seen the price of Cashews (it's nuts...)? That might explain how there are expensive cars out there

Bad performance from Sobhi in the first half, I wish he can remember his performance in the last season during AFCON

I get the heat argument. I think it's poor but I get it.
Having it every 2 years though takes the piss.

Abu Dhabi is in Asia No wonder we have no chance of winning it! Our incompetent manager can't even find the right continent. Wouldn't be surprised if our team showed up at Stamford Bridge on Saturday to play Sunderland!
