AFCON catch-up: reviewing all the action so far, including impressive Morocco, frustrating Ghana, and exciting underdogs Cape Verde and Namibia Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

We take a look back at all the action from Match Day 1 in the 2023 (but really 2024) Africa Cup of Nations. Which teams have impressed, which teams have done the opposite of that, and what to keep an eye on in the second round. Plus, standout individual performances, managerial instability and a superstar on the bench for Cameroon. And maybe jetting home before all is said and done.
