Who is next?

yeah, we are in the semi finals after a very difficult and rough match against Angola. before the tournament all people and experts set an objective for egypt is to reach the semi-final and it was accomplished. of course we shouldn’t stop here but we are going to the cup so who is next?

today, egypt played with angola in the quarter final. egypt won 2-1 . the goals were scored by hosni abd raboh and amr zaki and manucho for angola from a superb shot. zidan didn’t play because an injury in the ankle that he felt while warming up. not because of what have been said that he didn’t want to play. hopefully he will play tomorrow.

first half
this half started calmly with egypt leaning toward attack. the first 15 minutes pass with few chances here and there. until a free kick is given to egypt and the ball touches the hand of one player and it is a penalty. hosni scored calmly egypt’s first. only 3 minutes after the goal manucho fired one sam 6 to equalize for angola. egypt then tried to regain the lead and from a cross fromm ahmed fathi amr zaki scores with his chest to make it 2-1 for egypt.

second half
the second half started with a very dangerous chance from manucho that went just wide from the goal. after that the match went even with some advantage for egypt which wasted a half-dozen of chances and lama was extraordinary and made a couple of great saves. at the end i was on my feet , there was huge pressure from Angola but egypt defense was up to the task and finished the game 2-1.

what i have learned from the match?
1-hosni abd raboh is like what the match commentator said “luthar mattius” of egypt. he is really a great player.

2- sayed moawad can’t fill the left flank he is very weak in defense and isn’t eager in attack

3-the substitution of sayed moawad with mahmoud fathalla with shady mohamed playing as a winger wasn’t clear and created a gap at the left and was very ineffective in attack, honestly i think shady mohamed isn’t that good.

4-wael gomaa was great and succeeded in stopping flavio but he has to be more aware because he was very aggressive in some balls which coasted him a yellow card.

5- emad meteb did a very great job but he was very unlucky and the ball didn’t want to go into the net from him exactly, however he did the effort and supported his team mates tactically.

6- abu trika wasn’t in his form and didn’t react correctly with some balls and failed to make himself dangerous. also, he didn’t show the spirit we needed and didn’t fight for some balls.

7- on the contrary , amr zaki proved that he is a class player, the most important thing in him is his fighter spirit.

8-ahmed fathy played an excellent game both on defensive and attacking level.

9- this match needed mohamed zidan, there were some one on one situations that needed his skills to score goals. a thing which abu trika failed in

10- manucho is a great player and his goal was superb…..what a shot!!

11- angola’s goal keeper was the star of the Angolan team.

12- i don’t know how the referee stayed still in front of angola’s players almost knocking him down!!!!

13-this new ball is shit, just look how it bounces around the field.

our next opponent is cote d’ivoire, it will be a very difficult game and as much as we are afraid of them they are also afraid from us. remember we beat them twice last time.

GO EGYPT!!
