Zambia Win the AFCON!!

CrowsFan · February 13, 2012, 10:29:29 AM

After a goalless draw against the Ivory Coast in the final of the AFCON, including a missed Drogba penalty that would have won it for the Coast it went to penalties!

The first 7 takers from each team scored, leaving it at 7 all. Up stepped Kolo Toure who then had his penalty saved by the keeper. Rainford Kalaba then had the chance to win it for Zambia, but kicked it over the bar! Gervinho stepped up next for Ivory Coast, but he also missed his, kicking it wide, giving Stophira Sunzu another chance to win it for Zambia. He did not disappoint, which meant they won 8-7 in penalties!!

Sucks for Ivory Coast who would have thought they had the game won before it even started!!

Congratulations to Zambia on their first AFCON championship!!

Hopefully Kalou and Drogba aren't too shattered. We need them so flowering much at Chelsea right now.
I think I should be Chelsea manager.
Play a 4-2-3-1 (Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole) (Essien, Lampard) (Sturridge, Mata, Kalou) (Drogba)

All good. I love Chelsea ;D
Malouda is shower. Kalou over him everyday of the week. Yeah I agree Luiz over Cahill maybe but Luiz is just so worrying at CB. Will always give away pens or get sent off. Also I hate signing geezers and seeing them not play.

Nope, not even semi-major. I'm pretty sure all are based in Africa.

1 in Russia, 2 in China, 1 in Switzerland, rest African countries.
