AFCON 2017 begun with a surprise draw between Gabon and debutant Guinea-Bissau (make history with their first point)

 

In progress also the 2017 Copa Centroamericana, the tournament will be also a qualifying for Gold Cup 2017; day 1 won only Honduras (2-1 over Nicaragua), draw goalless  the other two matches.

The top 4 nations will go at Gold Cup 2017; the 5th place nation at playoff (vs Haiti) and the last (6th) will see the Gold Cup 2017 at home :p

(Guatemala not being able to participate due to FIFA's suspension)

Begin today the South American Championship sub20  will decide which four teams will represent the continent at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Korea Republic 2017 (S.Am nations, as always, will be protagonist at WC ;) )

 

AFCON today begin round 2 (group A), the favourites remain the same nations; but with many teams at same level, also an underdog can reach the SF (as happened in last editions) :mumble:

 

Copa Centroamerica (also qf at Gold Cup) without surprises after three rounds; next round is decisive for Nicaragua & Belize (last two) who win will still have hopes ...

    • I’ve had 2weeks long Olympic holidays each time since i graduated from the university in ancient times of year 2003   Both winter and summer. Always.   i had those olympic holidays in every job contract 😉
    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
