2011 African Nations Championship (CHAN)
Comments(6)Angola will make their debut at the CHAN championships in day 4 of the tournament, against Tunisia.
The tournament will be an opportunity for the “girabolistas” to show their value and make a claim for a permanent spot in the national team.
But most importantly, it will be an opportunity for young players to gain experience in the national team setup. The opposition in the CHAN championship are likely to provide stiffer competition than the usual girabola team.
In fact, Tunisia has a squad full of experienced players from clubs that usually compete at the latter stages of the African Champions League.

Sadly, the most memorable moment related to the tournament was the attack on the Togo team bus. That particular incident received more coverage than the actual football tournament and inevitably marred the competition.

For Love Or Football
"Footballer asked to give up honeymoon for new club." Admit it - first thoughts center around the wife and a reaction worthy of any reality shows in which a new bride or bride-to-be seem like a good candidate for a rubber room and a key which gets mysteriously lost for...ever. Tim Ream ...

Overhead To The Head
Thee Balotelli stamp seems to be making its way round the internet quite soundly right now, but there was a far more vicious boot to the head in Europe this weekend which probably won't see any pop remixes anytime soon. Dorge Kouemaha of Kaiserslautern went to clear a ball out ...

Fly, Fly Away With Diego
When Al Wasl paid a hefty sum of money to Diego Maradona to lead their team, they did so not with the idea of getting the next great football coach, but with the idea that he'd be part coach, part entertainer, occasionally part circus clown. He rarely disappoints, if he ...
