Luanda and the entire country of Angola is a JOKE!!!! They are not ready for this tourney at all. I have lived here for 3.5 years, and the only reason I am here is for work. The Angolan people don't have proper education facilities or hospitals, but they are building massive stadiums??? Real good. Plus the people of Luanda are not friendly.

I'm afraid Kenya wouldnt be going to Angola.We lost to Nigeria but amid controversy.The ref allowed a clear offside goal and disallowed stars of Kenya a penalty.I will be supporting Angola and Cameroon.But dear BBC let it be known that poor officiating has caused alot of teams a chance to move ahead.Ireland was one of the few but Kenya missed for Angola because of the same.I hope sanity will prevail when it comes to decissions in the pitch.for me I will watch on the screen.

I`m convinced that Angola will successfully host the African Nations Cup come January 2010.After coming out of a protracted and devastating civil war and with its vast oil wealth,the country has been transformed into a fast developing modern state.With political peace and economic stability well in place,the African continent can expect an extra-ordinary football fiesta.As for who will win the cup,Angola as host stands a good chance.However,they will have to contend with former champs present.

There is no Africas nation that lags behind in football, simply because of climate that encourages do it yourself street football. One can expect surprices in the Africa cup, moreover cup of nation in Angola is a tribute to Africas Pele or call him Eusebio. It is simply a pity that Eusebio that belongs to class of German Beckenbauer, French Platini and Brazilian Pele though legend in Portugal is unknown in Africa .

i would love to see Cameroon put in the same group with eygpt, nigeria and togo so that we could show that we are the best in africa. Go the lion and win the cup to meet up for the loss in 2008.
Lion of Cameroon will roar

I've been to Luanda, Angola 3 times.
A very interesting place, but you've got to be careful, you will be bribed by opportunistic people in official uniform; there will be bribes around every courner, in addition the prices are day light robbery. Travel is a challenge, the airport is a night mare. The city is not exactly the cleanest. If you're prepared to put up with all of that - it's a very interestign place with great potential for tourism. Angolans must improve the place.

I am an Angola born and grew up in that unfortunate brutal civil. Angola hosting the Africa's biggest soccer tournament is a clear demonstration that people and societies can change. I will definately be flying back home to witness this historical achievement. Angola has demonstrated that it can be done with or without foregin intervation. Other African countries could still do it. Forca Angola

I hope the Super Eagles can use the Nations cup in Angola to change the recent face of the Nigerian football, and drop a signal of what to expect in South Africa 2010.
