(Behind Gana in the pecking order at midfield.) If selected, off to the African Cup of Nations in January... I might be wrong, but aren't the African Cup of Nations tournaments only every other year, in even numbered years? I'm pretty sure there was one last January, so I doubt we'd lose any players to qualifiers as there are international breaks for that, so might lose them in January 2018 if they qualify... As I say though, not that up on my African football so happy to be corrected. Edited August 15, 2016 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what "even numbered every other year" can possibly mean, and I don't know how that,( if I did know what it meant), fits with "last year" - as that was 2015, which is an odd numbered year, and I don't know how, if last year was one, there could then be one in 2018, which would be three years away but an even year !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! I didn't think it was that confusingly worded, but apparently I'm wrong anyway I meant in even numbered years, which is every other year, I should've said one or the other not both!

No, you were right. You could have odd-numbered years, every other year (2015, 2017, 2019, etc.) Even-numbered alternate years would be 2016, 2018, 2020... You were perfectly clear the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Anyway it starts on January 14th AFCON has been a bit of a mess in recent years thanks to war and Ebola.
