Anyone follow African Nations Cup???

Ghana vs Bukina Faso :shrug:

It's for the ESPN Streak for the Cash contest... not a bet, but I'm half way to $100,000 for longest streak for the month! :00hour

I don't do Soccer, so I'll probably pass unless someone has good reason to pick one of these two. The choices are:

GHANA Win
Burkina Faso Win or Draw

Let me know.... thanks in advance! :SIB

Don't really like either side, I would lean to Burkina but Ghana needs a win to advance but is pretty banged up.

Ghana midfielder Michael Essien is out of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations after suffering a knee injury in training.


The Chelsea player could also miss Premier League and Champions League matches after he suffered a partially torn medial ligament in his left knee.

Ghana's team doctor believes the injury will keep the 27-year-old out for at least a month and possibly longer.

The Black Stars had been keen to field Essien for Tuesday's crucial Group B tie against Burkina Faso in Luanda

"This is a big blow because Michael is so important to our team," striker Matthew Amoah told BBC Sport.

"We've lost the motor in our midfield, and this is very bad."

The Chelsea man only returned to training on 6 January, having not played since tearing his hamstring while on Champions League duty with his English club in early December.

Essien becomes the latest of Ghana's key men to suffer injury, with John Pantsil, John Mensah, Laryea Kingston and Stephen Appiah all ruled out before the tournament.

If Ghana fail to beat Burkina Faso on Tuesday, the World Cup finalists will exit the Nations Cup.
