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.

Double-Oh-Kloppo
If there's a 007 for a football coach, it's ceertainly not Jurgen Klopp. He's too goofy and, well, he's not a pretty boy. As far as dress sense goes, perhaps Andre Villas-Boas. The problem is football coaches are often too animated to be the supercool James Bond. Jupp Heynckes could ...

Jose Mourinho Does "Who? Me?" Better Than Anyone
During this evening's Copa del Rey final, won by Atletico Madrid in extra time at the Bernabeu (big win, that one), Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo were both sent off.
