Malawi vs Algeria 2010 Africa Cup of Nations Match Preview
In the second game in Group A, Malawi will stay at the Estádio 11 de Novembro to face Algeria on January 11th 2010, at 13:45 GMT. Both sides are very much likely to be influenced by the score line of the Angola vs Mali game which would have taken place a day before.
Malawi will enter this match with a boost of confidence from their recent lucky 0-0 draw against 2010 Africa Cup of Nations favorites Ghana, but it is however probable that their concern will be slightly turned onto their scoring abilities.

Togo – the country, the football
The tropical and sub-Saharan state is little in size. Togo’s territory is only around 57,000 km² and an estimated 6, 700,000 people populate the country.
Togo is located in the west coast of Africa and has Ghana, Benin, and Burkina Faso as its neighboring countries.
The former French colony, like most African countries, has a long history marked by slavery. Now as an independent nation since 1960, the Togolese republic tries to construct itself around “work, liberty, and homeland”.
Despite having a wide range of ethnic groups and religious faiths, the people of Togo become one when it comes to supporting their national football team, called The Sparrow Hawks (Les Eperviers, in French).
