AN AVID fan in the stands of Ghana takes his support of Egypt, particularly Mohamed Zidan, seriously. Should he play, the Hamburg striker will have to be at his best when Egypt clash today (10.30pm Cairo time) with Cote d'Ivoire in the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations (ACN). The encounter is a repeat of the 2006 ACN final which Egypt won on penalties. A similar result would do very nicely
