If it's any consolation, I made the same mistake myself just the other day!<br /><br />Another minor correction (as per my previous World Cup round-up) is that Egypt not only need to beat Algeria by two goals but must also score at least three themselves in the process. If the game ends 2-0 to Egypt, both teams finish level on points, goal difference AND goals scored, therefore the head-to-head record between Egypt and Algeria comes into play, and that's why Egypt must score three - to avoid losing out on the head-to-head rule.<br /><br />Point taken about the Friday List material though... :)Chris Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451130702323813966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-27188057275198961572009-10-15T15:45:12.492+01:002009-10-15T15:45:12.492+01:00And no, Gabon are not one of the twelve African na...And no, Gabon are not one of the twelve African nations to have appeared in World Cup finals.<br /><br />(There's a Friday list in there I'm sure)Graham Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888599610761558508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-89398936607642386722009-10-15T15:38:11.619+01:002009-10-15T15:38:11.619+01:00The final round of African fixtures is tomorrow (F...The final round of African fixtures is tomorrow (Friday).<br /><br />Gabon did have a good start in the group but lost both their games against Cameroon. Both have away ties in the final fixture: Cameroon need a win against Morocco while Gabon face the tougher prospect of Togo.<br /><br />Tunisia need to beat Mozambique to get their place at the expense of Nigeria, but the big match in the final round is Egypt v Algeria - simple equation this one Egypt need to beat Algeria by two goals.Graham Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888599610761558508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-16876071265512777122009-10-15T15:17:11.732+01:002009-10-15T15:17:11.732+01:00When are the African games being played and who ar...When are the African games being played and who are the favourites?
