Wall to wall coverage on Sky. Remember watching it last time and there were some great and bizarre matches.

Starts Sunday.

I saw most the tournament In 2018 and thought it was pretty poor. Very defensive at times.

That said really good atmosphere and always interesting to watch players you'd never usually see. Would really like to see it live sometime as well.

out of all the continental world tournaments this one always provides us with a random surprise nation who get quite far. Gone are the days of Cameroon and Nigeria bossing it. I have interest in The North African teams due to various previous business interests and always good to see Algeria and Morocco doing well.

Lots of skillful players in North Africa, always seem to produce good wingers and forwards like Mo Salah, Wahbi Khazri, can even count Riyadh Mahrez and Zidane for Algeria as well.

It's always strange how for very populated and football adoring nations like Kenya, DR Congo and Tanzania, East Africa has never really had a decent national team.

Group D looks tasty aswell - Nigeria vs Egypt wouldnt be a bad watch tbh.

Group E - Ivory Coast vs Algeria another decent encounter.
