Lots of talk have started after the draws were made for the 2010 African Cup of Nations to be hosted by Angola.

The draws paired Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo and Burkina Faso in Group B at next year's finals.

Group B is being touted as the group of death with the prospect of Ghana and Ivory Coast renewing their rivalry.

However, President of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi who sat through the draw for Ghana says "there is no better description of this group".

"Ivory Coast and Ghana are two of the best teams in Africa".

"The group is interesting because Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Togo are all our neighbours."

"Togo has Adebayor, one of the best players in the world, and Burkina Faso's Moumouni Dagano is the top scorer of the World Cup qualifying campaign," he said.

History might favour Ghana as they've met seven times and the Ivorians have won just one of those encounters.

Ghana beat the Ivorians to bronze at the last Nations Cup.
