Why you surprised? Egypt is indeed the favorite candidate go to the final their next challenge is bigger when they have to beat Cameroon
We know Cameroon is the most favorite, whoever wins the match between Egypt vs Cameroon is the most potential for the title.
Egypt to play Cameroon next? Goodbye Egypt! Cameroon is not Morocco, With hot Aboubakar and Ekambi in that Cameroonian side, with their very balanced play, i don't think Egypt will stand a chance, the Cameroonian side to me is like a higher version of the Nigerian team that Egypt could not win at the start of the competition, they will be lucky to even get a goal. I'm waiting to see the outcome of the Senegal vs Equitorial Guinea game, before i say that it will be a Cameroon vs Senegal final most likely.
It's Egypt playing Burkina faso while Cameroon plays either Senegal or Equitorial-Guinea, personally I think Senegal will scale through to the semifinals and play Cameroon who for the first will play a formidable opponent so far they had been finding it easy playing minnows, of course semifinals will be different ball game both countries will try as much to win their match though cameroon might utilize home advantage, however a formidable opponent will really give them a run of their money
