AFCON 23

Sup y'all-

It's 2024! So let's play AFCON 2023!!!  Originally slated to be hosted by Guinea, hosting duties shifted down by 2 years, and we find ourselves headed to the Ivory Coast for the 2023 (ish) tournament.

Early favorites (25% chance to win) are certainly World Cup semifinalists Morocco, who travelled farther into the World Cup Knockout round than any African team in history, and they are looking to cement continental dominance this tournament.  Hosts Ivory Coast have a decent shot as well (13%) and Algeria (12%) , Senegal (12%) , and Tunisia (11%) are the only other countries with a >10% chance to lift the trophy.  Should be a great tournament.
