If Salah plays and Egypt defend the way they did against Uruguay than there's no way Russia should be getting three points here.

Egypt,Tunisia and Morocco - The 90th minute was the curse

Saudi Arabia- The 90 minutes were the Curse

I agree here. I think they have a midfield that looks a bit neutered because they had no outlets on either side. For the most part when they tried to create something the front-men were not able to hold the ball long enough for help to arrive. That will change if Salah comes on because they can then start playing longer balls out from the back since they have someone with speed to pick them up further up the pitch.

Salah starting. Go on Egypt!

[Azeem]

Sloppy start from Egypt, nothing like they were against Uruguay

[Azeem]

Nice series of attacks by Egypt after a nervie start

[Azeem]

As Mel said Egyptian players looking for Salah through long balls.

So ‘Trezeguet’ for Egypt isn’t called Trezeguet it’s his nickname, as he looks like the French Trezeguet...

 

why is is he allowed his nickname on his shirt?!

[Azeem]

He doesn't even look like Trezeguet

What's happend to Egypt ? They were so compact against Uruguay and they can't even clear their line properly now.

not if I were you given the way he looks now. far too much botox

Russia doing well to nullify Salah so far. Not giving him much space to run in to and getting players around him quickly, being a bit more physical with him. Zhirkov nearly cleaned him out earlier.

True. Chicarito also

I want John Terry to request ‘shagger’

[Azeem]

Salah might just need one opening to score which he hasn't got yet.

I Also love how at the world cup the tv producers show close ups of all the fittest girls in the crowd supporting any nation apart from England . I guess they just can't find any?
