I had predicted yesterday after watching Ghana pound Ivory Coast in the Third Place match, that Egypt will be taking home the trophy for a record sixth time on the ground that Egypts Skipper
Ahmed Hassan and veteran goalkeeper Essam Al Haderi "will not be moved by Samuel Eto'o and Mexican-based Alain Nkong's attacking force." The "psychic" is giving me seventy-five percent of all that bookmaking returns and who knows I might be heading down to Okija for some sooth-saying. Naaaaaaaaaaa, I don't think so.
Well, all the hype about the Ivorian Elephants, Nigeria Super Eagles, Cameroon Indomnitable Lions and Ghana Black Stars taking the tournament to a whole new level is now over. It took a less glamourized Egypt to sail through without losing a match and I think they deserved it based on their performance.
The highest scoring goals in the tournament's history is now over and Mohamed Aboutrika who scored the lone goal is Egypt's new hero. Egypt 1 - 0 Cameroon.
