Morocco's chances in African Cup of Nations

(Info from tonights 5Live preview). Morocco in Group A with Egypt, Libya and Ivory Coast. 4 groups of 4, 2 to qualify from each group. Libya are rated outsiders, other three fairly even. Ivory Coast have qualified for the World Cup and have some brilliant individuals who don't always perform eg. Drogba. Morocco were beaten finalists last time and look solid but have had off field problems, ie. new coach sacked after 2 months and previous coach brought back. Egpyt have not been playing particularly well, but is it likely that as host nation they won't qualify - stand by for dodgy penalties and disallowed goals! Highlights every night on BBC3 digital 7-9pm. Tournament starts Friday.
