2240: Right then chiefs see you again on Thursday for those semi-finals. You may laugh at those goalkeeping clangers but if it means we get no goals, like this evening, then I'm prepared to compromise. The question is: are you?
2238: Nigeria's Peter Odemwingie: "It's a special game against Ghana. Everyone will look forward to it. It will be tough because everyone will be motivated to make their dreams come true."
2233: So do you think Egypt will be up for their clash against Algeria after Rabah Saadane's side denied the Pharaohs in that hotly-contested World Cup play-off last November in Sudan? Simply put, it all kicked off before, during and after the match. Ghana and Nigeria might be less charged but they have a rivalry to match any in international football and on quarter-final evidence you would have to fancy the young Ghana side.
2227: You can watch those semis on Thursday between Egypt and Algeria and Ghana and Nigeria right here on this website if you live in the UK. We will be streaming the TV pictures live and providing text commentary too and it's the same deal for the final on Sunday. Highlights from the quarter-finals will also appear on the website on Tuesday but you will need to be in the UK to watch them. Full coverage details here.
2223: From Andy via text: "Interesting semi-finals then, it is going to be a west-west and north-north battles."
2222:Biayano on 606: "Appalling performance by the super eagles but at the end a victory is a victory. Up super eagles, pray for a better performance next time!"
2218: Poor Thomas Nyirenda, the only player not to score in the shootout. After the efforts from the respective keepers we can stop talking about those clangers from the first game. So get on this: Thursday's semi-finals see Egypt v Algeria and Ghana against Nigeria. So tell me, you think it might be spicy? Which game is the bigger one?
2214: What a finish to the game! A goalkeeper duel between Kennedy Mweene and Vincent Enyeama ends with the Super Eagles stopper earning a semi-final against Ghana. What a contest that will be.
2213: ZAMBIA 4-5 NIGERIA - Nigeria win on penalties
Zambia 4-5 Nigeria (Keeper Vincent Enyeama scores)
Zambia 4-4 Nigeria (Keeper Kennedy Mweene scores)
Zambia 3-4 Nigeria (Peter Odemwingie scores)
Zambia 3-3 Nigeria (Thomas Nyirenda's shot is saved)
Zambia 3-3 Nigeria (Victor Obinna scores)
Zambia 3-2 Nigeria (Emmanuel Mayuka scores)
Zambia 2-2 Nigeria (Obafemi Martins strokes it to the left)
Zambia 2-1 Nigeria (Christopher Katongo scores)
Zambia 1-1 Nigeria (John Obi Mikel slots it to the right)
Zambia 1-0 Nigeria (Noah Chivuta scores)
2202: Penalties it is then. Will the 16-year-old Emmanuel Mbola step up? Who has the nerve after an uninspiring contest where many players looked like they were scared to make a mistake? Zambia and Nigeria, it's over to you.
2200: END OF EXTRA-TIME Zambia 0-0 Nigeria (penalties to come)
2159: From the BBC's Farayi Mungazi at the Tundavala stadium: "I wonder what's going on in Amodu Shaibu's head right now. Lose this game and he's surely out of a job."
2158: John Obi Mikel scoops a lovely pass over the Zambia defence but Obafemi Martins cannot keep it down as it bounces up off the floor. Less than two minutes left now.
2155: Clifford Mulenga comes on for Zambia as Obafemi Martins fails to control a through ball close to the goal-line. Someone needs to give this game a memorable moment.
2150: With Nigeria down to 10 men I'm hoping this does not smother the final 10 minutes further.
2147: Nigeria red card: Onyekachi Apam slams into the back of a Zambia forward (did not see which one, sorry) and he receives his second yellow card. Could prove decisive.
2145: RED CARD FOR NIGERIA'S ONYEKACHI APAM
2145: Under away again
2144: END OF FIRST HALF OF EXTRA-TIME Zambia 0-0 Nigeria
2141: From Pete in New York via text: "I'm 'watching' this from my desk. Come on Zambia! I couldn't bear penalties by live text!"
2138:Penno on 606: "Alistair, is the Zambian coach one of the superstars from WWE?" Can someone help me on that one?
2135: Victor Obinna fires in a shot from a good way out but at least he has a bit of zest about him. The rest of his team look like they have done 12 rounds with Manny Pacquiao. Zambia make another change with Felix Katongo going off and Noah Chivuta on.
2131: From the BBC's Farayi Mungazi at the Tundavala stadium: "The Nigerians finished the second half looking so pedestrian in their approach that I feel like I should give them some of my grilled chicken!"
2129: Eeee that were close and better from Nigeria. Victor Obinna, on as a substitute, fires in a cross from deep on the left and Obafemi Martins turns and shoots just wide. That is more like it.
2127: We're off for the first chunk of extra-time. Penalties are looming large, unless...
2124:loanranger82 on 606: "ha the jokes on us... they're gonna make us watch a further 30 mins at least of this."
2123: FULL-TIME Zambia 0-0 Nigeria (extra-time to be played)
2119: Pressure from Zambia leads to a corner and from a deep cross Emmanuel Mayuka can't keep his header down. Only one team look like they want to win this. Three minutes of stoppage time. Anyone want to be a hero?
2114: That teenager Emmanuel Mbola fires in a lovely cross but despite a diving attempt by Zambia's striker, it fizzes to the other side of the pitch. This game is proving how many gears John Obi Mikel possesses. Hasn't got out of second all night.
2111: From Lanre Sonubi from Nigeria via text: "Of all the goalkeepers in the competition, it seems Vincent Enyeama is proving his worth. Really wish the entire team could follow suit! " Maybe he should go up front for the last 10 minutes?
2107: Christopher Katongo joins his brother Felix in the book after scything down John Obi Mikel. Approaching the last 10 minutes now.
2105:Dismas on 606: "I hope I have to wait at least as long as I did at the Kazungula Ferry before Nigeria score. That would be about half way through their first game of the World Cup."
2103: Another effort from Zambia and Yusuf Mohammed is there to clear the danger again from close to the goal-line. Herve Renard's team are on the ascendancy here and that 16-year-old left-back Emmanuel Mbola is having a fine game.
2100: Obafemi Martins is coming on but rather than have two strikers up front, Nigeria plump for one with Yakubu being replaced. Moments earlier James Chamanga also makes way which is disappointing because he looked the most dangerous threat for Zambia. Strange.
2057: Chances at last. A Hichani Himonde header is cleared off the line by Yusuf Mohammed and Nigeria immediately counter where Yakubu has space in the area but his first touch lets him down and Zambia block his effort.
2053: Fulham's Dickson Etuhu comes off for Nigeria and is replaced by Yusuf Atanda Ayila. Like-for-like really, do these teams know this is a knock-out game?
2050: Onyekachi Apam decks Zambia's James Chamanga, who has changed his boots at half-time, and is booked for his troubles. I almost getting to the point where I need a goalkeeping clanger. Almost.
2046: This game needs a change big-time. Rumours that Daniel Amokachi is ready to come on for the Super Eagles are unfounded. Bet he'd like to though.
2043:bluedabadeedabadie on 606: Re 2033 "I'll change my name to Felix Katongo if Mikel scores a direct goal from 20 yards or more."
2041: From the BBC's Farayi Mungazi at the Tundavala stadium: "Nigerian fans away to my left have gone quiet after a vocal start. Let's hope the second half gives the Angolan fans here something to remember as this is the final Nations Cup game at this lovely stadium."
2040: From rockybabs in Lagos via text: "Super Eagles will be looking for a good technical coach after the tournament, it is quite clear we need one."
2036: Zambia's Felix Katongo smashes a shot across the turf and Nigeria keeper Vincent Enyeama saves it with some part of his body but he didn't know much about it. Positive start.
2034: Doesn't look like there are any changes and we are under way again. Does Nigeria coach Shaibu Amodu have 45 minutes to save his job?
2033:CFC-Man on 606: "Mikel to score a late stunner." Of all the scenarios I can think of, I reckon that is as likely as Hull winning the Premier League this season, with respect of course!
2027: Can I remind you that you will be able to see all the goals (and goalkeeper clangers) from the quarter-finals on the BBC Sport website from Tuesday (UK users only). We will be showing the semi-finals on Thursday and the final on Sunday live on this website too, but again only if you are in the UK. These three games will also be live on BBC TV. Full coverage details here.
2022:ManuDreamer on 606: "Well done Chipolopolo! We have contained the super eagles! So far so good!"
2020: You want my impression? Nigeria look better on the ball but they have lacked any real cutting edge. Zambia have grown into this game and do pose a threat but they will get fewer chances than the Super Eagles so they better make them count.
2018: HALF-TIME Zambia 0-0 Nigeria
2016: Two minutes of first-half stoppage time and James Chamanga will be regretting that chance.
2015: No sign of Zambia letting up. Another booking for one of their defenders Joseph Musonda. Then moments later, the Chipolopolo have the best chance of the game when James Chamanga opens up his body but cannot connect with a cross from the left. It zipped across him but it was on the floor, he should have scored.
2012: Get on this! Zambia captain Christopher Katongo delivers a decent cross but Nigeria keeper Vincent Enyeama shows the first proper piece of goalkeeping all day by plucking the ball out of the air. Well done sir, I was beginning to worry.
2009: From anon via text: "The Nigerian football team is crying out for a player in the mould of Jay-Jay Okocha." I agree, they don't have much in the final third.
2004: Zambia work it down the other end on the counter but the strikers, again, have little support. A hint of handball by the Nigerian defender as he recovered, but it was waved away by the referee. Looking more promising for Herve Renard's team.
2002: Fantastically-worked move by Nigeria who shift the ball from wide to the centre of the pitch and set up John Obi Mikel who fires in a shot but Kennedy Mweene makes a good stop.
1959: Zambia are snapping into the tackle like starving crocodiles but they will have to be careful as they are arriving a bit late.
1956: From anon via text: "Zambians are small in stature but more skilful on the ball than Nigeria."
1954: A bit more purpose from the Super Eagles as Chinedu Obasi fires in a dangerous cross but Zambia clear. The Chipolopolo are struggling to support their strikers here.
1951: Felix Katongo goes for a high ball and sticks his studs in Sani Kaita's midriff for a booking. Then, moments later Zambia's Hichani Himonde follows suit after a late one on Peter Odemwingie.
1949: From Olajide Akere in Dumfries via text: "Hope Yakubu turns up today, we need a performance from our captain to get to the semis."
1945: Nigeria's Dickson Etuhu hits a fizzing shot straight at the Zambia keeper Kennedy Mweene. The pitch looks in excellent nick.
1943: Mostly Nigeria who are feeding the ball nicely all over the pitch. Zambia coach Herve Renard, resplendent in his fitted shirt, looks a little concerned on the sidelines and asks more from his players.
1941:onithor on 606: "What is a chipolopolo? Awesome nickname by the way." They are the Copper Bullets since you ask.
1937: Zambia, meanwhile, look solid in defence as Nigeria feed it into Yakubu on his own up front. The Chipolopolo have the 16-year-old left-back Emmanuel Mbola in their team who sets an Africa Cup of Nations record in the process.
1934: Steady start from the Super Eagles who have Yakubu as their captain and have English based-players Danny Shittu, Dickson Etuhu and John Obi Mikel in their starting line-up.
1932: From Ayotunde in Lagos via text: "Hope the 'Super chickens' won't let down a 150 million supporters who have no choice other than to back them tonight...wish them all the best."
1930: After a moment's silence for the victims of the Haitian earthquake, we are under way in Lubango.
1925: TEAMS Zambia v Nigeria Zambia: Mweene, Musonda, Sunzu, Himonde, Mbola, Christopher Katongo, Nyirenda, Njobvu, Felix Katongo, Chamanga, Mulenga Nigeria: Enyeama, Mohammed, Apam, Shittu, Echiejile, Etuhu, Kaita, Mikel, Odemwingie, Yakubu, Obas
1920: Coming into this contest, Zambia are looking to make the quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years. They surprised many by winning Group D. Nigeria, meanwhile beat Benin and Mozambique but were comfortably seen off by Egypt to come second in Group C behind the Pharaohs. The winner of this game faces Ghana in the semis on Thursday.
1915: From Olasunkanmi Ibikunle in Lagos via text: "Zambia will give Nigeria some fright but the Super Eagles will pick the last semi-final ticket."
1910: The lovely Nigerian woman in the BBC canteen just told me she thought Zambia would beat the Super Eagles this evening. The reason? "Because the Nigerian team are spoilt rotten, just like the players in England," she said. Can't fault her logic.
1852: Just to clear up any confusion about Egypt captain Ahmed Hassan's caps record. His mark of 170 is for an African player. I've been told by a very kind person at the Guinness World Records that the record for the most international caps is actually 181 by Mohamed Al-Deayea for Saudi Arabia. Chew on that while I go and get some tea. Back shortly for Zambia v Nigeria at 1930 GMT.
1847:Rich Connelly on Twitter: "Goodness. It's Egypt vs Algeria in the semis. Benguela supposedly a sleepy seaside town. Not on Thursday."
1846: From TC in Santiago de Compostela, Spain via text: "If Kameni fancies another punch, he'll probably take it out on the linesman. Yet another result in an important game defined by incompetence. Blatter, get a grip. Do you want to mar the World Cup, too?"
1844:Nasri on 606: "Cameroon were even lucky to make it through the group stages let alone the quarters. If they had the likes of Ivory Coast or Egypt in their group they would have gone home a long time ago."
1840: Don't forget we will have highlights of all the quarter-final games on this website on Tuesday, but only for those of you in the UK. We will also be streaming the semis and the final live right here too. But again for UK users only. Those two matches are also live on BBC TV.
1836: As for Cameroon, well, they were, on balance, the slightly better team but two, maybe three, clangers have ended their hopes of exacting revenge against the Pharaohs. The Indomitable Lions will have to lick their wounds and get ready for the World Cup in June. Work to do though.
1834: Egypt will just not be thwarted in this contest. They are still on for a hat-trick of titles and their seventh overall. But they have a tantalising encounter against Algeria up next in the semis. Fair to say there is some previous between the two of them!
1830: The Pharaohs are soaking up everything Cameroon can throw at them but this has ceased to be a match. We are approaching the last minute.
1828: Egypt's Mohamed Gedo has been a real pest since coming on for Mohamed Zidan. Captain Ahmed Hassan comes off the pitch to a hero's ovation as replays are shown of the third Egypt 'goal'. Not sure too much of the ball actually touched the line.
1825: Cameroon red card: From bad to worse to.... Aurelien Chedjou allows the ball to bounce over him and he pulls back goalscorer Mohamed Gedo. Easy decision for the referee this time and he gets it right.
1822: RED CARD FOR CAMEROON'S AURELIEN CHEDJOU
1820: Cameroon pressing as you would imagine, they are desperate to get hold of the ball.
1818: From anon via text: "What was the worst decision? Kameni punching the free-kick or the linesman thinking it crossed the line?"
1817: We are under way again for the second period of extra-time. Fifteen minutes left for some Samuel Eto'o heroics?
1816: I am not saying anything is over yet but it is a shame this game has been decided by a collection of errors so far. The worst of which was by the officials. Oh yeah, Andre Bikey is on for the Indomitable Lions - watch out you medics!
1813: Egypt 3-1 Cameroon (after first period of extra-time)
1809:ManuDreamer on 606: "My Algerian friend upstairs just went into wild celebrations at that Egyptian second goal, no doubt he wants that Sudan showdown again." What about that third one, he must be in tears!
1807: The other definite, apart from the fact that the ball did not go over the line, is that you can stick that goal in the goalkeeper clangers notebook. Idriss Carlos Kameni's attempted punch was laughable. Why not palm it away son?
1804: Egypt goal: It gets worse for Cameroon. Captain Ahmed Hassan fires in a free-kick, the keeper punches it, but the ball hits the underside of the bar and bounces down on the line but definitely not over it. Completely wrong decision, given by the assistant referee, I think. Nightmare part II.
1802: GOAL Egypt 3-1 Cameroon
1759: Egypt goal: Oh no what was Geremi thinking? He collects the ball to the left of the penalty area and passes it back to his goalie but does not spot substitute Mohamed Gedo who nips in and tucks it under the goalkeeper. Nightmare.
1758: GOAL Egypt 2-1 Cameroon
1757: We are off again for the first period of extra-time and Cameroon fire off a couple of early shots with intent.
1755: So we have 30 minutes of extra-time to be played, and then if we need it, penalties. A very large Cameroon fan covered head to toe in green, red and yellow paint says a prayer to the gods. Might be time for that sort of inspiration for both teams!
1754:Wenger's Optician on 606: "Very poor finishing on show. If it goes to penalties expect to see quite a few misses."
1752: FULL-TIME Egypt 1-1 Cameroon (extra-time to be played)
1751: An opportunity for Egypt captain Ahmed Hassan to make the game all his? But no, he fires over from about 25 yards.
1749: Ooof - a very good chance for Emad Motaeb who hits his shot from a diagonal ball wide. Pharaohs coach Hassan Shehata shakes the plastic dugout in frustration. Three minutes of stoppage time at the end of the 90 minutes.
1747: From Saahir from Mauritius via text: "I've just watched on TV station 'france 24' that an African voodoo has predicted that Cameroon will win the ACN 2010..."
1743: Samuel Eto'o is starting to be more involved with a couple of attempted shots after an Egypt break down the other end concludes with a harsh foul. Hossam Ghaly has come on for Egypt with Hosni Abd Rabou going off.
1739:Carlo on 606: "What's up with Geremi with his poor set-pieces?" Don't know but he just smacked another one into the wall.
1737: It's gone a bit stale out there. Plenty of effort but no real quality. Perhaps Cameroon could lob Andre Bikey up front as long as he doesn't go near any medical staff? Samuel Eto'o has a shot but the sting is taken out of it by a block.
1733: Not sure why, but Mohamed Zidan has been taken off for Egypt. He was looking quiet but I would have thought they would want him on the pitch as things draw to a close. Should they not be more positive? They have not got a World Cup to look forward to like Cameroon.
1730:2ndluvArsenal on 606: "Re 1720: Eto'o has actually gone rogue and is playing in stealth mode. Camouflaged and will only appear in the 79th minute."
1727: Geremi has a free-kick but it is miles out and the Egypt keeper makes a comfortable save. More promising game now, this one, but extra-time looks ominous with 20 minutes left.
1722: Achille Emana has a good shot saved and is looking dangerous for Cameroon. The crowd are beginning to liven up as gaps start to develop all over the field.
1720: Can someone confirm if Samuel Eto'o is playing please? I'm hoping that prompt will spur him into action and leave me with egg on my face!
1719:2ndluvArsenal on 606: "I think the reason the african nations don't do so well in the world cup is because they lack the depth in quality. Most african nations have some quality players but there always seems to be weak links somewhere."
1716: Bit of handbags after a coming together between Cameroon's Nicolas Nkoulou and Egypt's Emad Motaeb. Nkoulou is booked.
1714: Cameroon's Georges Mandjeck dispossess the Egyptian defence but his shot swerves just wide from about 20 yards out.
1712: From a free-kick from the right Egypt's Wael Gomaa climbs high and takes a nasty hit as smashes into the deck. Lots of free-kicks at the minute and there is no real momentum despite those Egypt chances.
1709: The Cameroon defence are all over the shop here. Mohamed Zidan nicks it off Henri Bedimo and he fires in a shot from the right but Idriss Carlos Kameni makes a fine stop. Shaky times for Paul Le Guen's side.
1707: Great chance for Egypt straight from a keeper's kick-out. It bounces over the Cameroon defence and Emad Motaeb is in but he can't get a strong enough touch and Idriss Carlos Kameni makes the save. Moments later Mohamed Zidan is in on the left but he fires wide.
1703: We are under way again for the second half. A semi-final against Algeria awaits.
1702: If you like your stats, the corner count for the first half was Cameroon 10, Egypt 0. So there.
1701: Just for the record, there is some debate whether Ahmed Hassan has actually set a new, er, record by earning his 170th cap. Apparently the previous record was 164 caps by Hossam Hassan. Whatever way you look at it, though, it's still a marvellous feat and he won't forget this game in a hurry!
1657:I don't read the script on 606: "Ahmed Hassan is a true captain and talisman. Talk about setting an example for your team and never giving up: after putting the ball in his own net, he slams one in the other end from 35 yards to rouse his team. Don't see something like that too often these days."
1654: From Mark in Glasgow via text: "Le Guen might be a highly-rated coach but doesn't know a good goalkeeper when he sees one. At Rangers he rated Letizi ahead of McGregor - despite countless errors."
1651: So, a cagey affair so far with few chances. The goals both came from mistakes but Cameroon look the more threatening, particularly in the air. The Egypt keeper doesn't look too authoritative and won't want his name adding to that goalkeeper clangers list. Still time, mind!
1649: HALF-TIME Egypt 1-1 Cameroon
1648:redandblackT1899 on 606: "One of the reasons an African team won't win the World Cup...we keep producing dodgy keepers these days. That was a shocking attempt at a save."
1645: Actually the equaliser was more like from 35 yards rather than 25. Even more reason it should have been saved! Captain Ahmed Hassan will be mighty relieved after the mistake from the corner and you could argue he's scored twice today already.
1642: Double booking for Egypt. Ahmed Al Muhammadi and Wael Gomaa get their names taken. Then a minute later the referee evens things up and adds Geremi into his book as well. Keeps him ticking over I suppose.
1639: Egypt goal: Another one for the goalkeeping clangers book perhaps. Ahmed Hassan picks the ball up under no pressure and drills it into the far corner from 25 yards. It did bounce but the Cameroon keeper Idriss Carlos Kameni should not have waited to try and push it away.
1634: I've already forgotten how many corners Cameroon have had. Must be about eight and you wonder if Paul Le Guen has singled out the Egyptians for having a weakness from them.
1631: On second look that goal could easily be credited as an Ahmed Hassan own goal. Bad way for the captain to celebrate his 170th cap and he is understandably fuming.
1628: Cameroon goal: After several corners to the near post, Achille Emana does the same thing again and it goes straight in clipping the head of Ahmed Hassan on the way in. Bad goal but something the Indomitable Lions worked on?
1627: GOAL Egypt 0-1 Cameroon
1624:robbedinparis on 606?: "Is Song the best player in the world right now? Debatable."
1621: Hosni Abd Rabou's next piece of action is clipping Georges Mandjeck and the Egypt midfielder is in the book. His team need to keep possession a bit better as Alex Song is starting to stroke the ball around a bit.
1618: Which Hosni Abd Rabou hits into the top of the wall for a corner, but the Cameroon defence clear easily. Not great so far.
1617: Samuel Eto'o, who has been a bit subdued this tournament, goes on a decent run down the right and earns another corner. Cameroon definitely pushing the early pace here. But Mohamed Zidan gets the ball down the other end for Egypt and is brought down on the edge of the box. Free-kick.
1614: Three corners on the trot for Cameroon and there is some good old-fashioned nudging going on in the box. From the last of them Geremi fires over.
1612:goonerinbarca on 606?: "Normally I'd be watching this as a neutral and enjoy the occasion but today I've got my Arsenal cap on. We've got a big run of games coming up and we need Song back as soon as possible. Come on Egypt!"
1610: Some of those tackles from the Indomitable Lions are already rattling Egypt. The reigning champions are still linking well, though. Achille Emana is walking a fine line after a couple of hefty challenges.
1608: From Comrade Ibikunle in Lagos via text: "Judgement day for Cameroon."
1606: In complete contrast to the pitch on Sunday night in Cabinda, the surface looks positively lush here. Cameroon are up for this, they are pressing the Pharaohs all over the pitch.
1604: Egypt captain Ahmed Hassan (congratulations by the way) loses the ball early on and concedes a corner but Achille Emana sticks it in the side netting.
1601: We are under way in Benguela.
1559: TEAM NEWS Egypt v Cameroon Egypt make a host of changes to the team that beat Benin but include captain Ahmed Hassan who sets a new African record by winning his 170th cap. Cameroon make three changes with Geremi, Achille Emana and Henri Bedimo coming in.
1557:dee on 606?: "Egypt to beat Cameroon. Rooting for Zambia but don't think they will beat Nigeria"
1555: TV pictures show us that Cameroon are taking their time to arrive on the field. Mind games already? As soon as they get there the national anthems commence.
1551: From Julio in Hull via text: "It is fair enough to predict a 2-1 win in favour of Egypt, but the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon won't just give in that easily. It will be an interesting encounter!"
1547: If you're looking for some pointers based on the tournament so far then you would have to fancy Egypt. They had a 100% record in the group stages while Cameroon recovered from a shock defeat to Gabon to qualify second in Group D behind Zambia. Not sure if all that counts for much, though.
1545: Quick update from our man in Angola Rich Connelly on Twitter: "Richard Fleming in Benguela reports cool breeze and cloud cover. 11 players who started 2008 final start today; 6 from Egypt, 5 Cameroon." More details to follow.
1541: TEAMS Egypt v Cameroon Egypt: El Hadari, Fathallah, Said, Gomaa, Fathi, Moawad, Abd Rabou, Hassan, Al Muhammadi, Zidan, Motaeb. Cameroon: Kameni, Bedimo, Geremi, Nkoulou, Chedjou, Song, Eyong, Mandjeck, Emana, Eto'o, Idrissou.
1539: Are you still getting over that Algeria-Ivory Coast game on Sunday night? Me too. In one swipe, the north Africans rocked this tournament by beating most experts' pick for victory. I'm sure Mr Capello took a few notes too with regard to the World Cup. If you want to chat about that or anything on Monday's quarters you can text me on 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 (the world), tap away on 606 or send Richard Connelly a message on Twitter.
1534: When I say revenge, I should explain. This Egypt and Cameroon encounter is a repeat of the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations final when the Pharaohs beat the Indomitable Lions 1-0. Oh, and when I say revenge, they are not my words but those of Cameroon midfielder Mr Geremi.
1530: Well if Monday's Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals are anything like Sunday's we are in for a treat this evening. Ghana shattered Angola's dreams of making the semis but it was Algeria who provided the real drama beating everyone's favourites for the title Ivory Coast in thrilling fashion. Can Egypt v Cameroon followed later by Zambia against Nigeria match it? With that revenge dish lurking on the menu, you would like to think so.
Thanks for reading and engaging during past 4 weeks. Really enjoyed and appreciate it. Will post photos when back in UK. Now 4 World Cup...@RichConnelly1 day ago
