Not gonna lie, unless a player is Eto'o or Drogba or Yaya Toure type quality, I would never want any African players for the sole reason that they have to leave all too frequently for this tournament.

They're moving to 4 years after the next one I think, still ridiculous.

It's by far the dumbest major confederation tournament. The Asian Cup is second because, like AFCON, they don't hold it during the domestic offseason, but at least it's already in a 4-year increment. The Gold Cup is third because the talent pool is a joke and it's every two years for nothing other than money purposes.
