No Kudus for Ghana tonight and possibly the next game. Shame, I wanted to watch how he did.

Ghana score. Possible offside?

Edit: Maybe even handball.

It's either handball or offside for interfering with play.

Cape Verde should have scored there. If they had a decent striker they'd have won this game comfortably.

The 3rd place bollocks takes the edge off it (still have the fail safe of probably going through if they win last game) but the group is wide open.

If Egypt lose to Ghana though the Cape Verde game won't be the gimme it may have looked.

Ghana looked awful.

Egypt in a good place to win the group if they beat Ghana which would set the tournament up better for them.

Ghana's recent record is poor though in this and World Cup. Pretty much since Luis's handball on the line.

Ghana really need to win the next game vs Egypt then. If we're talking in a context of getting Salah home as early as possible.

My thoughts are simply that either Egypt get knocked out before quarters or win the whole thing. Anything in between would be a lose-lose situation.
Egypt look awful though. Apart from Mo and a decent frontline, this team really doesnt look like it can go very far. Especially the defence looks awful. I thought that Gabal, their goalkeeper in last world cup was really good. No idea why he has been switched out.
Lets hope they dont run Mo into the ground like last time with Extra time in every knockout round.
