Egypt 1 – Ghana 0

When yesterday I got connected to see the party a quarter of an hour before his beginning, I remained hallucinated on having seen the quantity of free seats that existed in the stadium ’November 11’ of Luanda. The whole continental final and the stadium without filling? The porqué escapes from me, if it is that the African ones are more unpunctual than the Spanish, if was more safety of the habitual thing or I what I know. The case is that with the step of the minutes the stadium was filling even almost the capacity was completed in its entirety.

The first part was a horror. Egypt is usually very tidy, but during the whole tournament he has looked for the opposite goal with decision, something that did not happen yesterday. And Ghana, good, was not waiting any more: well cerraditos behind, with a lot of fear of The Pharaohs and of hoping if some African deity was pushing them up to the victory. Finally, forty five minutes so soporific that it turned out to be truly difficult to attend on the party to me, since in the television it had the much more interesting and frenetic put Arsenal-Manchester United.
The second half was marked by the kicks. For lack of game (and fearfully to the defeat) both seleccionadores, Hassan Shehata and Milvan Rajevac, should have asked more for tension, more force, more eggs … And his players it should have understood little evil, because in the first twenty minutes almost the batteries of the whistle finish the umpire between card and card. Ghana was the first one in approaching the victory, since he had two occasions in the boots of Opoku, which more tried it with Asamoah and missing Gyan.

But in the end, which beat first was Egypt. A very well taken counterattack took unprepared the defender of The Black Stars, and the ball finished in the Gedo feet after a wall with Zidan, who shot the doorman Kingson to take the madness to the Egyptian sector of the step. It was in the minute 85, without time to react for the Ghanaian. And it was Gedo, again, going out from the stool, as always, it marked again. Hassan Shehata has received thousand requests so that it was putting the Gedo good one, leaving Meteeb in the bank, but in the end it will be necessary to give him the account, because in spite of having played less, he has been able to extract to Gedo a brutal yield. So much it is so I do not believe that it is late very much in recording for some European team.

In this case Egypt is the first selection capable of gaining three continued Cups Africa. Previously Ghana, Cameroon and they themselves, since it is logical, had achieved a doublet, but that thing about The Pharaohs is a record for the history and in the country of the Pyramids nobody will forget the generation of soccer players who have led them to dominating again the African continent. What shit pity with Algeria in the tiebreak! If they had not punctured this day, we would have in the World cup to a selection that would put in problems more than one European team of those of the first line.

Ghana could not gain the Cup, had not done so many merits … But eye with them in the future. The players’ selection that it has presented is replete with young people, many of Champion them with the World Sub-21, which probably they will improve very much in the next years. Probably be the managers of, in two years, preventing Egypt from gaining his fourth glass.

In another thing order, he wanted to comment to you on something. The African Federation of Soccer has punished Togo with an economic fine and it will prevent him to take part in two following continental tournaments. As they say, because they cannot allow the interferences of a Government. Or, that the fact that the Government togolés has ordered to his selection to move back from the competition after they were shooting his bus, has given cause to them to punish to all the soccer togolés … An authentic shame that a deeper analysis would deserve, but I do not want to warm up too much …
