this is egypts dream team that tied tunisia and algeria and only won through goal differences. Thats not a good title for a dream team. If they won every team then yea but I doubt they are.

have a good day!

seif: i didn’t mean dream team in a sense of being the best team; but i meant egyptians are putting large hopes on this team to achieve something in u-21 world cup held in egypt.

omar: this is a difficult task, because the names weren’t published in any news paper, u know this team doesn’t have much coverage in the media.
