All kicks off on Friday. 6 groups when standard wise realistically there should probably be 4, some real minnows in there.

Thought it would make sense to have a thread for this. Can't decide what piques my interest more, seeing Balogun play or the possibility of seeing Zaha crying.

Available on Eurosport UK, for those who want to know how they can watch.

It is now that the world will see the true king emerge. The lion of Judah. The chosen one.

****. Hadn't even thought of that. And he's up against Zaha in Group D. Mouth-watering.

So,

Leon Balogun - Nigeria
Gaetan Bong - Cameroon
Percy Tau - South Africa

Ludicrous that Yves Bissouma hasn't made the Malian national squad.

In all seriousness though, that's a shame.

SO much football on at the moment.

Women's World Cup
AFCON
CONCACAF Gold Cup
Copa America
U21 Euros

Its a struggle to find the time to get anything done. Good job there's no cricket at the moment.

Bong may play for Cameroon today.

Will Balogun get a game tomorrow ?

Striker target Samatta should feature for Tanzania on Thursday.

And Percy plays again on Friday.

I’d sooner they all had slight ankle injuries keeping them fresh and fit for us, but good luck to them.

Since when did you have to start paying for Eurosport? And what's on there that could possibly warrant it?
