African Cup Of Nation : 2004 Edition He defied the odds to reach the 1998 Nations Cup final in Burkina Faso, took them to the verge of qualification for the knockout phase of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea, and was in charge for a friendly against England last year. Neil Tovey, the defender who captained the 1996 Nations Cup-winning team, says the South African Football Association is to blame for the debacle in Tunisia. Sono refused to judge Nations Cup coach April 'Styles' Phumo, who officially took charge 24 hours before the team flew to North Africa after Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba was fired following a clash with the football association. www.africa-cup.com /africancup2004/news/can2004.cfm?newsid=1061

GOLNOIR Bottom line: The 1998 African Nations Cup shows that Egypt is not so far removed from its place as one of Africa's top teams but the new generation must step up the challenge of bringing the side to the World Cup. Not only is the ancient land the seat of the Confederation of African Football, but it is also the first African Nation to compete in the World Cup (1934) and winner of the first two African Cup of Nations (1957 & 59).
