Brazil were given a helluva scare by the African champs. I'm mighty proud of the Pharoahs!
Good, sleek attacking football that was all undone by the handball.
Yet, I maintain that the North Africans can scrape through the group, probably ahead of the USA and maybe....Italy or Brazil (yikes!) depending on who wins the game between the two.
This is an updated version of the football Egypt played in the 2008 Nations Cup in Ghana. They were not shell-shocked by the might of the Confed Cup holders especially after Kaka led a 3-1 assault earlier in the game.
Great spirit, Go Africa!
