Every game has a story of it's own! The motivation now is bigger for the Ivorians, and Drogba is back...
This time, it will be very different...

ya i saw them ?what do u mean ?the only refree fault was against Senegal,& in that game Egypt were much better than Senegal & Egypt deserved to win..
against Libya,the refree was a total mess not with Egypt or Libya but against both..
the rest of Egypt games against Morocco, Cote D'Ivoire & DR Congo the refrees decisions didnt affect the matches results..
How can u say that the best team will finish in the 2nd place while u still didnt watch the match..
thats ridiculous,its like saying Cote D'Ivoire is better than Egypt just bcuz U want them to win..
look at the stats man..

Geez, you really sound like you're from Egypt or something.
Cote D'Ivoire has been the best team in this tournament, with the absolute star of the competition carrying the piano up front. Even if they lose the final (and I have a feeling they will) it won't change that fact.

That is a HUGE mistake for the last minute of a semi-final. Don't make it a small thing. It is more dramatic and scandalous than anything I've seen in Korea 02'. I wonder what the ref had done if it had happened in the other goal...
As for Egypt deserving to win that game, yeah right, we also deserved to beat Greece, we all deserve to be millionaires too... Doesn't matter.
I just love it when some dude I've never seen before comes up and starts with the 'think before talk' comments.
So here we go, bit by bit:
I agree the refereeing has been poor in the tournament, but that foul was a no-brainer. Really, what was the issue there for the ref? Was the atmosphere blocking his vision or something? It was one of the most obvious penalties not given I've ever seen, and boy, am I in the right country to see ghost penalties.
That's great of you to reckon that. No irony here.
Urr, that's actually my point. The magnitude of that mistake - a semi-final, last minute, against the home nation, could have sent the match to OT - is completely different. That, and the fact it was an obvious foul, is what motivated my comments earlier.
And fortunately it got noticed. We would be in a different world if it didn't. It was the biggest mistake (so far) in the competition.
Well, Angela, I don't think the Egyptians have paid referees. To be honest, the simple fact of refereeing a match involving the host country, with so much at stake, with a roaring crowd, adrenaline up there, etc., must be a huge pressure, extremely hard to handle. I believe the ref saw the foul but he did not have the balls to call it. Many wouldn't. In fact, my first post referred exactly to this point, although I wrapped it all in (dubious) humour: we're had decent refereeing in the Euro2004, with Portugal's opponents getting fair calls all the way to the final.
Now you don't rush into conclusions and start calling people narrow-minded, Amelia, especially if you're taking the Conspiracy Theory road and ignore the simplest of explanations. That is being narrow-minded.
Well, I'm sure Blatter would be thrilled to know you like to refer to him as his buddies as brains. What is obvious to me is I like Dr. Perry Cox.

That means...the penalty was badly given...but he failed. Justice has been made.
I haven't seen the whole game...how was it?
