Cameroon Vs Egypt

The first of todays teo games, kicking off at 17:00 GMT. The keenly anticipated fixture between the favourites from Group C, and i hope for a good game. The Egyptians have a good record in recent years in this tournament and i am sure Cameroon will be keen to prove that they are well and truly over their failure to qualify for Germany in 06.

And i think they will start that today.

I predict: Cameroon 3-1 Egypt

Come on Etoo.
Etoo to score 2 goals. I predict a draw, 2-2.
I hope I will stay up until 2am to watch this game. Tunisia - Senegal also is a must see game.

60 minutes in and a great game sees Egypt lead Cameroon by 3 goals to 1. Two great goals from Zidan and a first half performance his French namesake would have been proud of and a penalty from Hosni saw a more than comfortable lead heading into the break. Egypt bossed the first half defending superbly and forcing Cameroonian mistakes all over the pitch making sure they did not achieve a final ball. Superb goal from Zidan also, the best of the tournament so far.

Cameroon however have really dominated the openings of the second half and a fine ball from Geremi saw Eto'o nod in an easy finish. Still Egypt in the commanding position however.

An exciting close to the game saw two more goals from Hosni and an Eto'o penalty and the final score reading Egypt 4-2 Cameroon. A thoroughly cool, impressive performance from the defending champions saw them dominate defensively as a well organised unit and displaying great ability and always looking dangerous going forward. Stunning goals from Zidan and Hosni's second, and a well deserved win for Egypt.

Cameroon were reminiscent of Nigeria yesterday IMO.

I thought Zidane was back when i heard that.

The guy was superb. Big future in the game it seems.

It's Manchester United.
