Afcon Article

          I think that Nigeria beating Burkina Faso is an important thing that people should read because soccer is a worldwide sport enjoyed everywhere, but not the majority in America and the African Cup of Nations is a great tournament.
          It showcasing the best of African football, and this year was no exception. This tournament decides which African nations are able to go to the world cup in Brazil in 2014, which is just over a year away.
          The winner will be able to play against teams like Brazil, Spain, Germany, and Uruguay over the summer of 2013 in the Confederations Cup, which is a great prelude to what will happen during the World Cup.
           Burkina Faso was my personal favorite to win the cup, even though they had never even been to a final. I still believe that they should have won, because I really liked their team.
           They had beaten Mali, and Mali was my second favorite team to win. I was really hoping that they would face each other in the final, but the bracket had made that impossible.
           In third place was Mali, after beating Ghana, who won fourth. These teams will be able to play in the world cup next year, if I’m not mistaken.
