| Ghana or Cameroon will reach the final stage of the competition |
Cameroon defeats Ghana and reaches the CAN 2008 final. The game was balanced and in my point of view Cameroon did not prove more than Ghana that they should play the final. Also the referee was correct and did not whistle in favor of the home team at all. Watch the highlights in the embedded videos and comment the game here.

Ghana vs Cameroon – Highlights
0 – 1 Alain Mosely Nkong scores a superb goal after a speedy Cameroon counter-attack.

The game will start at 18:00 CET and will be refereed by Abderahim El Arjoune. It should be a dramatic encounter, so you should not miss it.
Ghana, the host nation, are undefeated until now in this tournament. They won the Group A with 9 points out of 9 possible and defeated Nigeria in the quarterfinals with 2-1. Claude LeRoy’s side is having a perfect run until the moment, but to be honest I also think that there is quite a big amount of luck in Ghana’s performance until now. If we think that 2 out of the 4 games where won in the last minutes. I don’t think that Ghana has the power to win the CAN 2008.
Cameroon have defeated Tunisia in a dramatic game during the quarterfinals, after extra-time. I also don’t feel that the Indomitable Lions could win this tournament. But it seems that a team from this two should advance to the final. 
May the best side win.
