CONGRATULATIONS EGYPT!!!! I watched this game in gymanasium, where I could not hear anything. But, if I have to come with a title that sums it up, I would say “El-Hadary and Egypt Proving it on the World Stage!”. Congratulations again and good job showing that it can be done!

Congrats. El Hadry played the game of his life and what Egypt lacked in technical ability, they made up for with passion.

Omar, to say that your 3 opponents in the WC Qualifiers are nothing and follow that up with the need to stay humble is an OXYMORON. Zambia tied Egypt in Cairo and Algeria beat you 3-1 fair and square. Numbers mean something and again no need to put down others to forcibly say that you’re better. Makes no sense. True, Egypt’s performance against Brazil was remarkable and it should be exploited and snow-balled into more triumphs. That’s the smartest thing to do. But, one has to be very careful, the game of football is not an exact science. I assure you it will not be an easy road ahead. Also, remember that Honduras has previoously beaten Brazil and Bolivia very recently beat Argentina by 6-1. I don’t see those countries claiming greatness. That’s being humble! Why do we Arabs in general and Middle Easterners in particular have such low expectations from ourselves? Why do we set the bar so low? Anyway, good luck against Italy today, and I really mean that!

Good Luck against the Azzuris. Hopefully your defence will stand better this game than you have a big chance to win it. Zidan and Abu trika will do the job. Respect for the performance against Brasil, you were very courageous but I think this doesnt mean that Qualifying for South Africa 2010 will be so easy. Anyway Good Luck!!
I hope Algeria or Egypt make it but not Zambia.

rabena ma3ahom! I was looking at the list of countries so far qualified for the world cup…Japan, Australia, North Korea to name some and really I will be very upset if egypt doesn’t make it. They deserve it based on the brazil performance alone. I hope it gives them the lift needed to do well in the remaining 4 games of the qualifying campaign.
