Mbizo Mzamane joins the show to preview the 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations, who the favorites are, why the tournament is so important to development of African players, and the frustrations expressed by European managers losing players for the length of the event. The group also discuss how an AFCON title has eluded Mo Salah to this point and what style of soccer America fans can come to expect while watching.
