I'd say the first match is priced up partly based on the fact Ghana are the hosts and also partly based on the fact Cameroon looks A) exhausted towards the end of the QF ET - and they also played the later match yesterday, B) bar some thirty minutes at the beginning they looked truly awful in the quarters, they simply stopped playing and never even realised Eto'o was cancelled out. TBH, I'm not that sure they can make it, ie. depend which Cameroon turns up and whether they can hold their nerves (they struggled in this department big time in the quarters).

Ivory Coast is a no-brainer, agree, but still Egypt are admittedly the most organised side the Ivorians are facing and although it doesn't look like it looking at the QF scoreline - they were struggling to break through until cca the 70th minute, ie. until scoring the second goal.
