    I'm half English and half Egyptian; have been watching Egypt for 15 years and seen us win three African Cup of Nations trophies in a row. This is a great video, although I expect no less from this channel. They don't get much exposure, but Mohamed Zidan was top and shout out to El-Hadary who is the best keeper Africa has ever produced imo

    Anyone else thinks Salah's biggest challenge is yet to come? In little over two months he's must deal with having to carry his team, then little time to relax before the start of the season & finally media outlets pressurising him with reports actively discussing whether he's just a one season wonder 🙄

    Egyptian here. Salah is currently the unanimous current most beloved person in Egypt, not only for singlehandedly dragging one of the worse squads we've had through to the 2017 AFCON final and promoting us to our only third WC finals ever, despite football being the national sport, but also for his heroics in Liverpool, remarkable charity work, staying out of controversy, levelheadedness, and doing things by the book. So much so, in fact, that through our last puppet elections with no opposition, Salah received more than a million troll vote despite being in England.

    The media seems to run the wrong story ( not this video ) that Salah scored the winning goal in Egypt's last match. In reality, that goal sent Egypt to the World Cup with a game to spare. They would have been the favourites to qualify even if that match ended in a draw.

  • @pharaohosam
    @pharaohosam 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    There's a lot of good and a lot of inaccuracies in this video. I'd strongly advise not to try and explain the politics, because there's a few important things you got wrong, from describe Morsi's election as "free" to not qualifying the coup as widely popular.
    As far as football, the two errors were: Mahmoud Trezeguet won the penalty for Egypt against Congo, not Salah. And Metab's goal vs. Algeria was not virtually on the last "kick" of the game. It was a header, and Egypt actually almost scored a third after that.

    2017-18 is (still the UCL final is yet to be played) the season of Salah - Jürgen Klopp made the deal of the season by bringing him to Anfield from Roma. And he's another of the undeappreciated at Chelsea, who succeeded elsewhere - like KDB and Lukaku.
    Salah has every right to be Balon d'Or contender and even outright winner, but sadly IMO he would be close, but not close enough. The World Cup would play crucial role in determing the winner. Egypt, whose chances to progress any further than 1/8 Final at best are considered not the best (weird stuff happen before like Senegal shocking the world in Korea/Japan '02), would have to rely on (if not soley) Salah's magic in a group featuring Uruguay with Suarez and Cavani, and the hosts Russia. And Saudi Arabia too, but let's face it - they're the token "punching bag" even in this group (still anything can happen).

      If Liverpool win UCL, and Salah can become top scorer or at least bring Egypt to semi-final, he must win the Ballon d'or
