It’s been a rollicking start to Afcon with shocks and late goals already to the fore. Already, Nigeria have been held by Equatorial Guinea, Cape Verde beaten Ghana, and Mozambique denied victory over Egypt by a 97th-minute penalty. Or, in other words, yesterday was proper.

So far today has been less so, Senegal recording a routine win over the Gambia in the opening Group C match. But Cameroon, champions in 2017 and third last time out in 2021, are not the force they once were, with Bryan Mbuemo is injured and Eric Choupo-Moting left out. They do, though, still have André-Frank Zambo Anguissa loading bullets for Vincent Aboubakar and Karl Toko Ekambi, tournament leading scorers last time out, so will feel confident of a decent showing this afternoon.

Guinea, though – managed by Kaba Diawara of late-90s fame – have in their ranks Serhou Guirassy, whose career has suddenly exploded. So far this season, he has 17 goals in 14 Bundesliga games, and though he might not make today’s game, with Naby Keita and Ilaix Moriba there to provide for him, they’ve plenty of avenues to aggravate more fancied opponents in the next two.

important events
Meanwhile, the triple league champions are facing 115 charges with no plans to resolve them. Just a day in the life of the world's greatest leagueTM.
It also:
in all the chatter I didn't pay proper attention to Onana's shoes, but these are also worth a look. Maybe he wore it in Manchester United's Champions League game – that would certainly explain some things.
On the other hand, Andre Onanawas on the ground but was unable to play due to an unscheduled flight diversion and landed in Abidjan instead of Yamoussoukro due to bad weather.
But more importantly, which store can you go to buy clothes exactly like those at Sky Bar in Accra?

Big failure on both sides: Cameroon will be without Vincent Abubakar, while Guinea will be without Selou Guirassi, who was injured in a warm-up match against Nigeria.
Let's make some teams
Cameroon (4-3-3-): Ondoa; Kastellet, Wu, Mukoudi, Yongwa. Ncham, Kemen, Angissa; Magri, Toko Ekambi, Nkudu. sub: Ngamaleu, Toro, Nye, Ateba, Chamedeu, Gonzalez, Epatsy, Neyu, Moumbanya, Elliott, Gapanduetumbu, Chato.
Guinea (4-2-3-1): Connection. Conte A, Janvier, Diakaby, Shira S; Moriba, Konate. Giravogi, Kamara A, Kamano. Bayo. sub: Keita, Shira I, Sou, Keita, Diakité, Camara MA, Cissé K, Cissé S, Camara M, Kante, Conte F.
Defending champions Senegal defeated Gambia's 10 players. They currently lead their group with 3 wins and 0 losses.
preamble
It was an entertaining start for Afcon, with a shock and late goal already on the horizon. Already Nigeria have been drawn away by Equatorial Guinea, Cape Verde have defeated Ghana and Mozambique have denied victory over Egypt with a 97th minute penalty.Or rather, yesterday proper.
Not so much so far today, with Senegal registering a stellar win against Gambia in their Group C opener. However, Cameroon, who won the championship in 2017 and finished third in 2021, are not as strong as they once were, with Brian Mbuemo injured and Eric Choupo-Moting absent. However, with Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa loaded with bullets for Vincent Aboubakar and Carl Toko Ekambi, the top scorers of the tournament last time out, we are confident of a decent performance this afternoon. I would have it.
However, Guinea, coached by Kaba Diawara, who rose to fame in the late 1990s, has Selhou Guirassi, whose career suddenly exploded. So far this season, he has scored 17 goals in 14 Bundesliga games, and although he may not be available for today's game, he has Naby Keita and Ilaix Moriba supporting him. As such, they have plenty of ways to torment stronger opponents in the next two games. .
This should be another entertaining match, and for those in Greenwich Meridian, it will be the perfect match to wind down after a hard day's work. Is there a better match than this?
Kickoff: 5pm GMT
