outlined the framework of the quarter-final
After the initial tragedy with the barbarous attack that hit the coach of Togo , has begun to play in Angola and the group stage has ended with some surprises and some disappointments.
The Group A closed with the exception of Mali various Keita, Kanoute and Sissoko that with only 4 points in favor of leaving the event hosts Angola that after the initial insult (4-0 reassembled from Mali in 18 minutes) were able to redeem the knockout without too many worries el ' that Algeria has gained 4 points with the pass.
In Group B stained by the withdrawal of Togo has set the Côte d'Ivoire that with a win against Ghana has secured first place in the group after the initial disappointing draw against Burkina Faso, which in turn was defeated by the Ghanaian so that have secured second place.
In Group C Egypt ruled the roost in the first place and closing full points, followed by Nigeria , in the group in which there was greater separation between the large and 2 to cerentole which remained the crumbs.
In Group D the Eto'o of Cameroon had to suffer until the last moment to get through the round and only thanks to superior goal difference ousted the Gabon from the event and will the company Zambia in the quarterfinals.
Here is the complete picture of the quarter:
Angola - Ghana
Ivory Coast - Algeria
Egypt - Cameroon
Zambia - Nigeria
All matches are very intriguing and very difficult to hazard a prediction. In the first challenge Ghana can certainly count on increased technical caliber, but on the other hand, Angola played at home and will push the public well as to build on the goal scorer of the event, Flavio .
The Ivory Coast is perhaps the only team that can prevent the trio to Pharaohs, but it will start to get from the next game.
L ' Algeria will participate in the upcoming World and is a good team, on paper certainly less than the Ivorians, but this undoubted superiority of Drogba & Co. so far has not yet seen.
The man who could decide the contest is no doubt that Didier Drogba on the eve was the man most expected, but for now has not yet made the difference and is primarily This is what we expect from a champion like him.
The remake of the 2008 final between Egypt and Cameroon seems to be a challenge to learn what was seen in the group stage.
The Pharaohs dominated the length and breadth of their group fielding a determination unusual dictated by the desire for revenge after the failure to qualify for the next World Cup.
Various El Hadari, Hosni, Meteab, Ahmed Hassan are honoring the best in Ghana won the title two years ago and are currently the leading candidates to lift the Cup again would mean that the seventh statement Continental , as well as the third row.
Cameroon saw today is really not much and not even the real Eto'o could revive the fortunes of a team that seems doomed, but in Africa are known as the Cameroon Indomitable Lions for their own ability to get up in the most difficult, and if they want to aspire to the final will bring out their claws against bicampioni of Africa.
the last meeting Zambia seems to be favored on Nigeria who won 2 games in the group, but little difference of Zambia believes that an outsider is able to qualify at the expense of Tunisia and now has nothing to lose and could be the big surprise of this CAN 2010.
