To me, I think Egypt has the better chance of advancing in 90 minutes of all 4 teams playing tonight.

Our team is at full strength (no injuries or suspensions) and Shehata is likely to filed the same starting XI he did against Cameroon & Sudan.

Angola are a good team and I think I mentioned that before, but they have 2 disadvantages:

1- They're inexperienced. Although they have played in the last WC, this is their 1st Q-final in any major tournament.

2- Their 3 most influential players are (in order, IMHO): Manucho (Man Utd), Flavio (Ahli - Egypt) & Gilberto (Ahli - Egypt).

As you can see, both Flavio & Gilberto play in the EGyptian league, and are well known inside out to most players in the Egyptian squad (since most of them are also from the Egyptian league as well). So, for example, Flavio will not have much to surprise "colleague" El-Hadary, and Wael Goma'a (Siliya - Qatar) has been a player in Ahli for as long as Flavio has been (minus the last 4 months).

Needless to say, our back line still worries us all (the local fans), but it looks to me that our strikershave been doing great (for the 1st time for as long as I can remember, Egypt has a STRONG striking force)

Cameroon are likely to finish off Tunisia as well, but I know the Tunisians well enough to know they will be defending and relying on counters, plus as long as they are level (or surprisingly alead) they'd be wasting time like no other team in the world can, with any tackle.. or even with no tackle at all someone will roll on the ground.

Cameroon's weakest point is their "slow" build up (as opposed to that of -say- Cote d'Ivoire. This allows for teams like Tunisia (and Egypt) to reorganise their defence before they get exposed.

Having said that, Pfister is a FOX, and I'm sure he will surprise us with "something"... but what exactly?? I dunno (otherwise it won't be a surprise, would it??) *LOL*
