No favourites, no minnows at Afcon

Day -510. WorldCup2018

The Afcon is a tough tournament to predict. It's hard to see who the favourites are and who the minnows are. But I guess that makes sense when only the best 16 countries in Africa qualify to play in it.

Today Ivory Coast, the current champions, battled to a 2-2 draw against Congo DR. In the other match Morocco beat Togo. All 4 teams are still in a position to make it to the quarterfinals.
With there being a very good chance that there will be all to play for in the last round of group matches (Uganda may be eliminated in Group D tomorrow) this may well be the most competitive of all the continental championships.
