It’s never too late to star. Emilio Nsue is emerging as one of the unlikely heroes of the Africa Cup of Nations. Nsue is the captain of Equatorial Guinea. He's a 34-year-old right back who plays for a third-division team in Spain. But he already has five goals at the Africa Cup and his team is in the knockout stage as the unbeaten winner of a tough group including Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau. Nsue says, “It’s a dream, a big dream.” Nsue on Monday scored twice as Equatorial Guinea upset Ivory Coast 4-0 and left the host nation on the brink of elimination.
