The latest Fifa rankings have confirmed what we thought all along, donkeys run the show.  After winning the African Nations Cup for the second time (back to back), Egypt is ranked 4th coming out of Africa while Ghana takes the top spot with Cameroon and the Ivory Coast following.  The exact quote from a Fifa rep is “rankings are not a reflection of a teams present performance, but a reflect of the past for years.”  Cough-bullshiz-cough.

Alain Nkong, former Colorado Rapid under Fernando Clavijo and world traveler, might be heading to London (more specifically Tottenham) after a very impressive African Nations Cup tournament for Cameroon.  The combative midfielder, who enjoyed plenty of success in Colorado until the continued development of Kyle Beckerman and partner Pablo Mastroeni determined his fate, is seeing renewed interest after scoring the winning goal in the Semi-final match against home favorite Ghana.

Egypt topped Cameroon (for the second time, the first being a 4-2 win in the opening match of the tournament) 1-nil Sunday afternoon to take the African Nations Cup for the sixth time. With Cameroonian captain Rigobert Song’s error with 14 minutes left, Egyptian midfielder Mohammed Aboutrika slotted home past the diving Carlos Kameni and propelled the North Africans to the title.

While captain Rigobert Song was on the ground receiving medical attention in stoppage time of Cameroon’s 1-0 win over host Ghana in Accra, Reading and fellow Camroonian defender Andre Bikey shoved over a medical assistan, forcing the referee to give him a red card, suspending him for the final Sunday against Egypt, who walloped Drogba’s Ivory Coast 4-1 in the other semi-final.

Since they’re playing today in African Nations Cup, a little Roger Milla.
