With Cup of Nations 2008 upon us, I figured it'd be a good idea to create a thread where we can talk about African sports and sports people not just in CAN2008 but everywhere else to. Talk about anything you want related to Africa and sports(it doesn't have to just be about football). New stadium openings, player signings, etc, etc. Vids, photos, artciles, are all welcome to.

Well, I tried to contribute here like I always do. At least I can say that much-not everyone here can. :)

I'm sticking to my guns here. If you don't care for the thread, don't post in it.

What do you mean who cares? There's a whole other thread on the CAN2008 in Oasis. That thread has interest. If it does, then what's saying that absolutely nobody cares about African sports in general?
