Seneglese fans have had plenty to cheer about

Zambia found out that it is goals that count as Senegal and Egypt cruised past them and Tunisia into the quarter-finals.

In first half against Egypt and the whole match with Senegal, the brightness of their passing and approachwork meant they constantly threatened to get the reward their efforts deserved, but it never came. Instead they constantly failed as they tried to walk the ball into the net.

It was very different to the Senegalese who showed athleticism as well as technique against Egypt and Zambia. They kept going until the end and were rewarded with late single goal victories against the run of play.

Tunisia must have wished they could achieve the same levels because the World Cup qalifiers had a dismal time. Coach Henri Michel said it was difficult to know what Tunisian players had in their minds.

"We did not have the means to win this tournament," he said.

One team that think they are equipped to go a long way are Egypt, especially with the wily Hossam Hassan back fron injury. Yasser Radwan thinks a semi-final spot is a good bet, especially since they have beaten the Cameroon Lions in their last five meetings.
