How often does the Cup of Nations be played? This used to be a problem with the Copa America, up until a few years ago it was played every 2 years, but now it's every 4. Looking forward to seeing Neymar myself, but going by what I've read in the build-up, I'm more interested to see Ganso, who also plays for Santos.

It's played every 2 years. Currently it is in even numered years, so one in every two competitions clashes with the world cup. They are changing this so that there is no clash. There will be a tournament in 2012, and then in 2013, then 2015 etc.

Wouldn't say it is a shame Mexico are sending a second string side, you can't really blame them after already having a full tournament behind them, and that full tournament is their primary football association and involves the countries in their continent.

The next one isn't until Brazil in 2015. It is now a four year as far as I know.
Okay, that makes sense then, i didn't know it had changed from the 2yr schedule when I posted.  Why do they still play the african cup of nations every two yrs - how do they fit in qualifiers for the cup of nations and world cup - do the same games count for both in world cup cycles?

Argentina looking very poor so far. This will be a massive result if Bolivia hold on

Should have been 2-0 Argie keeper kept them in it.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Great goal
Di Maria would need a ball of his own.

Forever Green

Brilliant goal by. Aguero should have started but that di maria bastard really annoys me. Not saying he is a bad player but so over rated and a diving arsehole

Carmen Stateside

That Aguero cub would look well with a Liverpool shirt on him this season.

That's it 1-1 TBH a drab opening game.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
