Poor old treatment bloke took a right tumble. Serves him right I suppose for coming on the pitch to do his job. 
And now Bikey misses final
What a plonker !
Really hoping Egypt can wave bye bye to Cote D'Ivoire prima donnas tonight.
Me and my Nigerian faher-in-law are rooting for Egypt for the cup again as they keep it local

Egypt looking the better team 1st half. Well organised and certainly know how to keep possession......strung together about 30 passes at one point !
And Cote D'Ivoire keeper off after half hour. Sub can't even make the 1st team of the 2nd div German club he's at.
Favourites could of met their match again

Some great displays from the fans. The Egyptians are bloody timewasters.

the whole tournament has been great!! great goals great fans rubbish goalkeepers brilliant
The Egyptians were a disgrace in the last 20 minutes, everytime they got a free kick their player went down writhing in agony, but whats even worse is they did a really bad job of it. Eveytime they sort of waited around for a bit, had a look around, and then ooooh arrrghhh my leg/face/whatever!
It's people like that who are making the game of football, once a man's sport played by real men, into a game for pansies and cheats!

Fantastic result ! 
Hope this sends out a message to African F.A's that you don't need to get in foreign coaches to get results. Egyptian team being over-whelmingly home based is obviously an advantage.
In Nigeria, the youth teams ( U17's, 19's ) seem to do well, and I bet it's no coincidence that the majority of these teams are made up of 'home players'. Most Nigerians I know often complain that European based players don't care about playing for Nigeria.

Totally agree about the timewasting
Shame to see as I still think Egypt by far the better team tonight, and their keeper was solid.

Given that Drogba and Keita managed to fling themselves to the ground acrobatically every time an Egyptian player came within five yards of them, I can't say I blame Egypt.

Are you referring to Mido's antics in the 2006 tournament by any chance ?
Egyptian coach dealt with that little hissy fit a treat though, dropping Mido for the final ( if memory serves me correctly ? )
Notice that Egypt still have the same EGYPTIAN coach that they won 2006 with too
.......There's a lesson there for the others, surely ?

Pretty much agree, its averaging 3 goals a game at the moment can't quite see Euro 2008 matching that.

That shot from Geremi a real screamer, and unlucky to hit the bar/post
The ball they're using moves in the air like nobody's business. I think that, along with some dodgy keepers and the fact that everyone seems prepared to have a dig, has made for some fantastic goals. :yahoo:

Drogba was diving all over the place!
It makes me laugh when drogba and co get up set with cheating and time wasting when they do it most weeks
