Interesting comments by journalists after 2010 Afcon draw

Following the 2010 African Cup of Nations final qualifying round draw, which placed Nigeria, Tunisia, Kenya and Mozambique in group B, I was amazed to read an assertion by a local journalist that Kenya has never beaten Tunisia. The fact is that Kenya beat Tunisia in Nairobi 1-0 during the Fourth All African Games held in 1987.

Another journalist declared in a head line: "Group of death" Kenya's group doesn't look that frightening, really. We can easily beat Mozambique home and away and secure the third qualifier slot - depending of course, on how we prepare for the qualifiers. To me, Group A, consisting of Cameroon, Morocco, Gabon and Togo looks more like it! One giant from this group is likely never going to see Angola 2010.
