Off the top of my head, Spurs, Brum, Everton (A), and Wigan tomorrow are his four games.

Jaysis I though Cote d'Ivoire were gonna win it out..
I had a ton on them

Egypt's goalie was excellent - while the ivory coast's was brutal

Coast had alot of possession but didnt make it count in the last third

Didn't get to see any of todays games,but some of the games up till now have been great..

The IC keeper got injured, and the reserve was poor I hear.

Wonder would Chelsea's close relationship with the Ghanian FA help get Essien back for Sunday instead of playing the 3rd place game.

Only saw the highlights so i dont know what lead up to it but Bikeys sending off was something special. What was he playing at?

Wasn't that his own medico he pushed? A bikey. Hah, the irony of that name not lost in this country.

It's strange that with Egypt being reigning champions and in the final again, that there isn't more of them playing at more high profile clubs.

I have to say given how stale the premier league is these days, this competition has been a breath of fresh air.

Last nights Egypt v Ivory Coast game was excellent.

Surprised at the result, but now predict a win for Egypt in the final.

Rory, not sure where the Egyptians play, few in the premier league for sure.

Are any of them playing in Spain / Italy / France?

WTF was kolo Toure doing for that goal, he turned his arse to it and give your man time to pick his shot. The Egyptians seemed deadly in the box whereas Drogba didn't look interested and the rest were shooting wildly at every opportunity.

Looks like only 3 of the squad play outside Egypt:

Mohamed Shawky - Middlesbrough

?? Never heard of him
Mohamed Zidan - Hamburger SV
Ahmed Hassan - RSC Anderlecht

I'd say a few more will get snapped up in the summer.
