An Africa Cup of Nations advertisement poster portraying South African striker Benni McCarthy, who was not playing for South Africa during the 2008 tournament, and bearing the apartheid-era South African flag (bottom, C under the portrait of the player) is displayed on February 6, 2008 in the streets of Kumasi, where the Bafana Bafana team were based before getting knocked out of the competition. The South African flag was adopted on April 27, 1994 after the country's first free elections and the end of apartheid. AFP PHOTO / STRINGER (Photo credit should read STR/AFP via Getty Images)
