Ex-Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has said Jamie Carragher's comments disregarding the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) as a major tournament were ignorant.

Former Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo is confident the stars are aligned for the Super Eagles to become African champions for the fourth time, but warns they must make a good start to the Africa Cup of Nations if they want to go all the way.
