I agree that hosting the African nations will not only improve the team but also create better conditions for football in the country. I know for a fact that they can get everything done by 2010. They will certainly reach the Quarter finals if they host the ACN at least.

Angola has money and time to get it done in 2010… The war is history and the security issue are over blown Unita and the Government have no wish to return there(war)… A war that was not ours anyway but cost the lives of our familys… And I think the games would be great in bring the people in Angola closer.

Africa is going through a revolution and no longer can the likes of Cameroon, Nigeria, Tunisia, Senegal and South Africa expect an easy passage or even qualification. Togo, Ghana, Angola and Cote d’Ivoire reached the world cup for the first time; leaving Cameroon, Senegal, Nigeria, and South Africa missing out. There is no doubt that the profile of Angola will rise if they are selected to be host of the African Cup of Nations; but can it be a success? Angola are not going to win the African Cup of Nations; so I am a little unsure about Angola’s credibility and also the security instability makes Angola a not so attractive host but there is no doubt Angola will improve in football through being host. Angola does not have the infrastructure at the moment to host such an event.

This would be good for the future of our game… I hope it happens
