Ivory Coast v Sudan.

Ivory Coast go into the African Cup of Nations as favourites, the question is can they handle the pressure?

With the likes of Egypt, Cameroon and Nigeria, who share 15 titles between them, absent. The spotlight turns to the the elephants, who's sqaud consists of many of the top players in Europe such as Didier Drogba and the Toure brothers it is difficult to say any other outcome in the tie with Sudan other than the Ivory Coast taking an enthatic victory. However the Ivory Coast have become increasingly worse since being 'bigged up' after making it the final in 2006, the Ivory Coast have managed to finish in the Semi's in 2008 and the quarter finals in 2010. Surely not only the group stages for a side that boast such tremendous talent.

However on the side of the Sudanese, much of its sqaud it unrecogniseable to the average football fan. With all of their players competing in the Sudanese league. The last time Sudan made the tournament in 2008 they failed to register a goal conceding 11 goals in the 3 group games they played.

My Prediction: Ivory Coast 2-0 Sudan.
