Cup of Nations: Who didn't win?




Some will predict correctly who wins the African Cup of Nations, but many have already been proved hopelessly wrong.

Egypt will win it.
Alameed, Yemen

I wish that Egypt or Tunisia win the cup. But I think that Egypt will win it again because they have a strong team.
Ebrahim Hamood, Bahrain

I see Egypt vs Nigeria final with the pharaohs retaining the cup - team spirit works.
Dinale Kabelo, USA

Ghana will win because they have been given the wake up call they needed by Ivory Coast. Ghana has a lot at stake in this game and will play their hearts out to make Ghanaians smile on Sunday. But when Ghana and Nigeria clash in the semi final in Lagos...only God can tell who'll take the day.
Fifi, Ghana, (currently in USA)

If the Egypt teem arrive to the semi final, they will do it again.
Abdlmoty Ibrahim, Egypt

I think Egypt will win this cup
Bassam, Egypt

Nigeria will defeat Senegal, but the finals will be between South Africa and Egypt and Egypt will win again.
Awa Jobarteh, The Gambia

I think Egypt played very well, and is likely to keep the cup.
Andrew, UK

Egypt has always been a leader in African Sports, it won almost all the African Olympics held, but in the last few years I think its strength has been declining. But that doesn't mean they won't win, as you saw up till now Egypt hasn't lost a game!
Omar, USA

I hope Ghana wins, but it looks like Egypt is keeping the cup!!
Mohamed, Ghana

Egypt, Nigeria and Cameron have the same chance, but Egypt has a fighter's spirit.
Dr. S. Bahr, Egypt

I think Egypt will win the competition, because they look awesome with Ramzi and Hossam their two best players in the squad!
Abdulrahman, UK

Nigeria has all it takes to lift the coveted trophy. But their over-confidence might ruin their chances. I predict them playing Egypt in the finals and Egypt retaining the cup.
Rev. Fr. Thomas Akpen, C.s.sp., USA

Egypt will win, I think.
Chris, UK
