When you look at Egypt as a flag side you see an interesting dichotomy. Egypt is a good odd to win the Cup of Nations, and a bad odd to progress to the world cup. I place the statistics below. but why? Egypt have historically, the strongest or most stable league in CAF, with mighty al -ahly and their eternal rivals zamalek. The Egyptian flag team play the italian way. Defend^INF and counterattack. That strategy is great to win cup tournaments. But bad to get through qualifiers against teams that don't have the grind of a cup of nations. CAF ends in a round robin where the winner goes through. In two matches, egypt ends up , with their counter attack, second best against better attacking teams. In the 2022 Cup of Nations, Egypt's last four matches including the final, went down to extra time. That is a team that is looking to make it a grind and will keep a clean sheet no matter what.

Cameroon battled their own sadness from going down 3-0 and defeated Burkina Faso in penalties. Many hosts fail to get third in alot of these tournaments. No shame and keep going Cameroon. They are in terms of placement over the last three Cup of NAtions the best team to bet on in the cup of nations going forward.
Burkina Faso surprised me and made it to the round of 4. I am very proud. They have a lot of youth so I hope they grow.
