Togo Team Quit African Cup Of Nations And Return To Lome

LINK:http://www.goal.com/en/news/815/afr...eam-set-to-leave-angola-and-quit-african-cup-

The Togo national football team has pulled out of the African Cup of Nations (ACN) in Angola, according to RMC radio.

On Friday the Togolese team bus was attacked by rebels as it entered the Angolan province of Cabinda, resulting in the death of the driver, and injuries to two players and two team officials.

While the Confederation of African Football (CAF) have declared that the ACN will not be cancelled, Togo's part in the tournament now appears to have come to an end as the team have arrived at an airport in order to return to Lome, the Togolese capital.

Don't expect him to be chomping at the bit to play football instantly. We should give him as much time as possible.

Good, the whole tournament should be cancelled imo.

Just hope Ade will get his head right as I imagine he will be shook up after the event

That would be harsh. The Olympics continued when the 12 Isreali athletes were killed in '72
