Ebrima:
I am awaiting the result of the much anticipated match between Senegal and
Zambia for the right to go on to the 2nd round. What are your thoughts? Will
the Lions go through? I really hope they go on as Kalusha Bwalya (Zambian
Captain) already promised victory.

I am yet to see any of the games as FoxSportsWorld (Satelite provider)are
reportedly having "technical difficulties" since last week. It's very
disappointing even for tape delayed broadcast!

But, based on what I have read so far on the net(thank God), it may come
down to these trio: South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria. Nigeria only because
they're co-host and if they can over-come their "political football." For
the other co-host; Ghana, it will be tough to bounce back after the Ivorian
defeat, then narrowly qualifying on a tie-breaker. I have always thought
very highly of Ghana but for some reasons they never show-up for the big
games in the senior level.

This is my take, what are yours? After the dust is settled for the 2nd round
I'll give my predictions. Take care and stay warm.

Regards
Baboucarr Sillah
