Egypt will top the group with a mere draw, my friend, as they will have 7 points then and Cameroon will have 6 no matter how big they win over Sudan. The extra 2 points are only "prestigeous" to the Egyptian squad to match Cote d'Ivoire & Ghana with 9 points, and also to avoid the embarrassment of failing to win over a team that has conceded 5 against Cameroon.
Cameroon -2 is a dangerous handicap because all Cameroon need to do is win the game to qualify. If Zambia wins Cameroon tops the group, whilest a drawor an EGyptian win keeps them in 2nd place. Goals don't mean much today except for Zambia whom need to win by 3 or more over Egypt 9assuming Cameroon does win over Sudan) for Zambia to go through and Egypt to go back to Cairo.
