@StuBrennanMEN Was with Yaya yesterday mate, as him and Kolo got ready to fly out. If there's a cunning plan, nobody's told them.

It's done, finished, they aren't playing.

Without Yaya I dont expect we'll get as many as 6 tomorrow...

Why cos someone saw them getting ready to fly? Unless someone has them get on the plane and it take off then they could be anywhere. No one know either way and we wont until tomorrow when the teams are announced.

Doesn't mean that at all.

It just means that as of yesterday, everyone thought they had to check in on sunday. If that's now moved to Monday then they could still play.

"Getting ready to fly" Does this mean he was at the airport or what?

 

[Freestyler]

Maybe they were both checking out the airport facilities a few days earlier.

I've heard it's a nightmare buying sunglasses at the airport.

Just heard that they may not have to report now till Monday. "Fingers Crossed"

Ivory Coast coach Francois Zahoui has cancelled his team’s scheduled gathering in Paris amid foggy arrangements for the 2012 African Cup of Nations.


The Elephants were to regroup on Saturday January 7 in the French capital before heading for Abu Dhabi where a pre-tournament camping will hold for a week, to be topped off with two friendly matches against Lebanon and Tunisia.
However, the new arrangement enjoins the players to travel individually to the United Arab Emirate without a stopover in France. No reasons were given by the coach, but a source at the Ivory Coast Football Federation (FIF), who refused to be named for not being authorized to speak for the body, told Supersport.com that the decision was not from coach Zahoui but from the FA itself.
Ivory Coast will kick off their campaign against Sudan in Group B on January 22 in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, before meeting familiar neighbours Burkina Faso and Angola.

We know.

I guess we would know til now if they would play tomorrow... the last official staff (including from Yaya himself) was that they won't play and honestly, would be kinda low if it's only a mind game 20 hours before kick off
