maaaaaaaaaaaaaan this is amazing!!!!! my national team wins the african nations cup for the 6th time and my beloved juventus change a 1-0 defeat against udinese to finish off victorious 2-1 what more can i ask for as a football fan and most importantly as a die hard juventus fan.
as expected cameroon where very strong compared to there 4-2 loss in the group stage they were dangerous and controlled large periods of the game but never capatalized on this and its cos egypts players followed the iinstructions issued to them by the manager and coaching staff. a very very hard fought game and def a well deserved victory.
i wont lie and say i expected this if u go back to the first few pages u will see that my nominess for the winner was ghana, ivory coast, cameroon, and then egypt. this was unexpected by all means even by the most optimitic person in egypt. the person who thought egypt could surprise us was no one else but bozi even though he wanted a ghana vs ivory coast final like every one but he was the one who tol dme egypt could turn this around.
its just amazing what footie does to people. every one is in the street holding an egyptain flag and singing. women, men, kids, and girls every one is over the moon. this will always be remembered as one of the rare times that the entire arab world forgets about conflicts and nationality and actually supports an entire nation. egypt was not playing just for egypt tonight it was for tunisa, moroco, lebanon, syria, palestine, saudi, kuwait....etc
in the stadium u can clearly see the lebanese, and saudi's all supporting egypt its sth honestly u dont see every day. in paris its upside down with celebrations along with all the regions near egypt, its sth that is just amazing how footie unites people!!
finally but never the leats i want to thank each and every one of u for all the support and interest u have put in this thread even though i have not created or started it but its def one of the best threads on the forum thanks to every one. thank u for supporting egypt thru this. i think i owe salvatore a speciual thanks as he was theone who always posted information about the group standings for each single group and every single game in each stage. thank u sal.
