You just summed up basically all the moments that all African footbal fans should be proud of, no matter where they are from. I have nothing bad or argumentative to say. Proud to be African and proud that, as a continent, we have so much talent.

Yes, I agree Egypt is a good side. I have alot of Egyptian/North African friends and we always have this debate on the arrogance issue. Most of them admit though and we kind of laugh about it and move on. I should visit North Africa in future to learn more about that.

I support the North Africans so much in the world cup. Imagine I shed tears of joy the day Morocco crashed Scotland 3-0 in France 98. I am very emotional person and was happy to see an African side make us so proud. It was just unfortunate that Norway beat Brazil 2-1 in the last 7 minutes of the other game denying Mustapha Hadji, Hadda, and Youssef Chipo the second round. Where are those lads now by the way? I love them.

I was so proud to see Nigerian beat Spain 3-2 and Bulgaria 1-0 in France 98. What of Senegal’s wonder quarter final performance in Japan/Korea 02. Those are all great moments that drive me and many Africans.

I have never supported Egypt ever, but may be if they qualify for the world cup and shine like the teams above that will change. If they “earned their bragging rights” may be they should be in South Africa 2010. Zidan, Al Hadri, and Aboutereka have a great future. I wonder whether the latter 2 will be interested in a move to Europe or whether Zidan can go to a better team than Hamburg. He deserves better. I still don’t know why they didn’t give the player of the tournament to Zidan or Angola’s Manucho.

North Africans, more specifically Egyptians, have EARNED their bragging rights in this tournament. Check the recordbooks. It doesn’t matter who you like. Egypt is good, it is undeniable. The whole arrogance thing though, might just be coming from some personal vendetta or something else, I can’t really say.. U know best though.. I suggest you see someone haha just kidding man

ya sharmooota
shove the hating up ur *** and take that sorry *** elsewhere.. egypt won, arabs don’t like you, you’re jealous :) and thats just the tip of the iceberg.. but on a brighter note, good job to all the teams.. African football is really on its way up and Africa has a bright future in football .. forget being north african or from the south or any of that.. We are all African and we should come together in improving the game on our continent and supporting our teams.. who knows.. maybe one day, the big players will look to play in Africa instead of Europe.. It’s possible!

I am not racist. Infact, am muslim like the Arabs, but I can’t stand the North African arrogance. I don’t know why you are so arrogant (outside the mosque that is). Thats why I would have preffered to see someone crash the pharaohs so they can keep quiet and stop bragging around.

FYI I was happy to see Morrocco lose 2-0 to Ghana. However, they still remain my favourite North Africa team as I love their 1998 star Mustapha Hadji. I have never admired Egypt anyway, but I must admit this time round Moha Zidan, Moha Aboutereka, and Al Hadri really impressed me. I consider Al Hadri the second best keeper of the whole tournament after Cameroon and Espanoyl’s Carlos Idris Kameni.
