Egypt’s penalty record in AFCON has to be something outrageous like 35-0
Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - Life and Death for South America, Pre-Season for Europe: The Club World Cup
I would make Senegal favourites for the final just for the simple fact that Egypt have played 3 ET's and will have heavy legs. Only way I can Egypt winning is by shythousing their way to pens.
Yep, they haven't really played much this AFCON. That match against CIV shouldn't even have gone to PKs. CIV didn't take their chances.

Don't think Ralf has a handle on the dressing room.
there goes Ancellotti overplaying Modric, Casamero and Kroos again
even if they get past PSG, they are going to be too burnt out against other teams

Too used to Ole covering for them.

black Africans have an inferiority complex when it comes to penalties against N Africans. my LORD
Senegal better get this for West Africa
Do they though?
AFCON 2021 2-0 to N. Africans (Egypt against CIV and Cameroon, CIV is terrible at penalties so it is what it is)
AFCON 2019: 2-1 to N.Africans (Benin beat Morocco, Tunia beat Ghana, Algeria beat CIV)
AFCON 2017: 1-0 to N. African (Egpyt beat B.Faso)
AFCON 2006: 1-1 (Nigeria beat Tunisia, Egypt beat CIV in the final)
AFCON 2004: 1-0 to N. Africans (Tunisia beat Nigeria)
AFCON 2000: 1-0 to "Black African" (S.Africa beat Tunisia)
So in the past 20 years, of the 10 matches decided by PKs in the KO rounds, N. African teams have won 7 out of 10 times compared to Black African teams. Yeah that is appalling.
Even worse, CIV has lost 2 finals on PKs. One to Egypt then again to Zambia

Cameroon 0(1) - 0(3) Egypt
The Pharaohs add a second bunch of lion pelts to their collection. The Indomitable Lions weren't so indomitable after all.
I think Egypt are gonna get their 8th AFCON title.
