Ivory Coast qualifies |
 EGYPT´S
hopes of defending its title at next
year´s African Cup of Nations are all
but gone after the seven-time continental
champion was held to a damaging 0-0
draw at home by South Africa in qualifying
on Sunday. Egypt‚ which has won Africa´s
top football tournament three times
in a row‚ is now almost certain to fail
to qualify for the first time in 33
years. Egypt remains bottom of its group,

of making Gabon and Equatorial Guinea
in 2012‚ even as one of the two best
second- place teams. Ivory Coast has
qualified after a 6-2 win for Didier
Drogba´s team away at Benin. Ivory Coast...
