Thanks. Abdul-Fatau Dauda?

Who is the Nigeria based player at the AFCON?

The 2nd Ghanaian goalie?

[NigerianPrince]

Egypt will likely win the cup. Let's see what happens between Egypt and Morocco later today.

Ghana ain't winning this cup this year. Keep dreaming. Especially, if Egypt and/or Cameroon is still alive in this year's tournament. Egypt defeated Ghana twice in the past three months. So give me a good reason, why you think Ghana can still win this year's tournament? To add to it, Cameroon defeated Ghana nine years ago in Ghana in the 2008 African cup of Nations semi-final. Ghana was host back then and still lost to Cameroon. Not a good match up for Ghana even if they make it to the Semi-final against these young indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

You lack ambition.

For me, its been a few years now that I have waited patiently for NigerianPrince to predict that Nigeria would not win whichever was the upcoming World Cup.

PS: I have not prompted him to "predict" such, because I don't think that is how the "juju" works.

Ghana will need a miracle to win this tournament. It is looking more obvious that Egypt is winning this tournament. For EGYPT not to give up a goal yet in this tournament says a lot. Go figure!

[NigerianPrince]

Egypt is winning this tournament. Kpom!

[NigerianPrince]

Egypt, Cameroon, Ghana and Burkina Faso. Boy O boy. Nigeria defeated Burkina Faso four years ago in the final to win the Cup. However, Egypt stopped Nigeria from qualifying to this tournament and this same Egyptians defeated Ghana twice in the past three months. To add to it, Cameroon has lost twice in a row to Egypt in the African Cup of Nations final in history in the past 30 years. Who do you think is the heavily favorites to win it all??? Your answer is Egypt.

Egypt are something else: no star players, no prolific goalscorer, no magical playmaker with game changing wizardry...yet they still keep on grinding out wins. They soak up pressure, look harmless and then score a late goal to win. It is the same formula they have been using for 13 years - and which they used to put Cameroon, Egypt, Ivory Coast etc to the sword.

They are not undefeated in their last 20 games at the AFCON (a record).

It is their coach.

Sometimes coaches are not a big deal, sometimes they are.

This coach is a big deal for Egypt.

Its not attractive football, but he is grinding out results.

Both matches we played them in ANQ we were the better side, home and away, yet we came away with 1 point.

The WCQ match against Ghana, Ghana were by far the better side until they gave away a stupid PK

Even when they beat Ghana in this tournament, it wasn't a great or dominating performance.

The coach has them tactically very aware, and defence seems to come first. I think Egypt will win this, but it wont be pretty.

TBH this Egypt is a shadow of the 2006, 2008, 2010 teams, but the coach may yet get them another title.

It is so strange how a team that looks so average and has nothing outstanding about them has 3 wins in 4 games at this AFCON, and has reached the SF without conceding a single goal. Their results are symptomatic of their conservative nature:
0-0, 1-0, 1-0-, 1-0.

Egypt is winning this cup. In fact, as I am talking now, Burkina Faso fears these Egyptians. Case closed.

[NigerianPrince]

You all need to smell the coffee. Egypt is winning the Cup this year.

[NigerianPrince]

Respect to Burkina Faso. But Egypt is winning the Cup, like I predicted.

[wale1974]

Respect to Burkina Faso. But Egypt is winning the Cup, like I predicted.

U called it

[NigerianPrince]

Egypt is winning the Cup. Ha ha ha.

[Tbite]

Yes but when your prediction is so hot and cold, it suggests that you are just clutching at straws.

That's like saying that Ben Carson or Hilary would win the elections.

PS, notice how I said Hilary not Trump?

[NigerianPrince]

Egypt will win. Ha Ha Ha.
