Egypt`s Captain Warns Cameroon
Egypt`s captain has warned Cameroon that they will not be given easy passage to the World Cup finals. Ahmed Hassan`s side take on the Indomitable Lions in a Group Three tie in Yaounde on 9 October but are already out of the race to Germany. In contrast, the 1990 World Cup quarter-finalists revived their chances of reaching their fifth consecutive finals with a stunning 3-2 victory over Ivory Coast on Sunday. "It does not matter whether Cameroon or Ivory Coast reach the World Cup finals," Hassan told BBC Sport. "But I know that we will play a fair game in Yaounde and the Cameroonians should not take us for granted," said the Besiktas of Turkey player.
Egypt, who thrashed Benin 4-1 on Sunday, are the host side for next year`s African Cup of Nations finals. Amr Zaki, who scored a hat trick in Sunday`s match, echoed the opinion of his captain. "We were able to beat Cameroon 3-2 here in Cairo. Another victory in Yaoundé will prove that we were just not lucky enough to reach the finals in Germany," the 22-year-old said.
