Review: Morocco
With the later finalists Côte d'Ivoire and Egypt, and Morocco in one group a disappointment for one of the three was predestined.
Morocco was the best candidate for this from the start: After the departure with Zaki, his successor Troussier had just been installed foillowing the unbeaten qualifiers.
But Troussier himself did not stay until Nations Cup and an emergency solution had to be installed a few weeks before the tournament.
The Moroccans did not perform as bad as the results suggest: In the first two games they were on one level with the later finalists Egypt and Côte d'Ivoire.
In the third match against Libya their problems became evident: Morocco lacked constructive and dangerous attacking, the few opportiunities were not converted despite the presence of young star striker Chamakh.
Morocco conceded only 1 goal in three matches, through a penalty.
But - scored none.

Review: Libya
Drawn into one group with the later finalists Côte d'Ivoire and Egypt, plus Morocco, nobody expected much from the Libyans.
And in the first match the level seemed already too high for the North Africans, when they were easily outplayed by hosts Egypt (0:3).
But the picture changed: The punctually brilliant playmaker Tarek El Taib returned from injury and confidence grew. Libya became a resilient opponent for both Côte d'Ivoire (1:2) and Morocco (0:0).
It showed that Libya have a compact first eleven, but do not have the depth in the squad to replace injuries or suspensions (three players in the first, the goalkeeper in the second match).
