Egypt is playing a friendly vs Nigeria in 10 minutes..

I hope GN knows what tf is happening!

[perspolis#1]

Watched half an hour of the game.

They won 2-1.

Egypt lineup was 7-8 starters with Marmoush/Salah not starting.

Nigeria was 5-6 starters with Osimhen, Ndidi, Lookman etc not playing.


Egypt is definitely better than the Arab teams we usually play in AFC. They remind me of a technically improved version of Jordan with fast breaks.

The goal they conceded was a freekick and Nigeria reacting to a rebound faster than their defender.

The rightback Hany has decent emergency slide tackles and the GK El Shenaawy is experienced but not the greatest reaction goalkeeper I have ever seen.

Nigeria had some decent success passing in between the lines in the middle sp Taremi playing in that pocket might help a lot.

I did notice Egypts defending on set pieces is very aggressive. Shirt pulling/tugging/hugging etc. Penalty prone in the right setting.

I dont think their style changes with Salah or Marmoush. The second they get the ball, they try to counter with 1-2s because they have a fast front 3. We cannot afford to let them get isolated with Kanaani or Shoja.

I hope our staff paid for an AFCON subscription

I didn't watch or see any highlights yet, so can't comment on the game itself, but looks we had 6 players I'd want starting our first AFCON match. Our attack will go up a level with Trezeguet, Salah, and Marmoush. We're going to be without our best CB for ACFON unfortunately. He tore his ACL last April vs PSG and has yet to come back for Nice, but hoping he gets enough fitness second half of the season in time for the WC.

Does Hussam AbdelMagid start for Egypt normally?

Does Hussam AbdelMagid start for Egypt normally?

He doesn't but lately he has been playing more because of our CB injury situation and ever since the manager fell out with Hegazy. I haven't see much of him with the first team but he played well at U20 level.

Brother, you guys are the clear favorites vs Iran. We are the under dogs.

Iran vs Egypt will be a game of who is worse

Total shit vs Hot Garbage.

Already see it, Nemati and Noorafkan starting but they get cancelled out by Egyptian keeper who is in worse form than Beiranvand

asian cup deja vu

baba we cant even beat qatar and now you guys talking about egypt and new zealand for me
im not even gonna talk about belgium cuz we honestly better to forfit 3-0

[Hosseini]

It's not out of question that we could lose all three games with this team. I don't know why everyone is so happy. It's like playing Russian roullete, and if Taremi and Azmoun aren't playing good, or Beiro makes a sooti, it's over.

Really it's an injury situation with TM. Do we have Azmoun, Moharrami, Majid Hosseini? Is Kanaani in form?

You could tell we lost that tournament the moment Moharrami tore his ACL.

You lose a defender who played champions league vs AC Milan and replace him with a PGPL defender, the downgrade was crazy.

Ramin started the rest of the games and Taremi got red carded covering for him, he got destroyed by Afif and kept them onside for their last goal.

If any 2 of the following 4 players are missing, we won't be a favorite to win a single game: Moharrami, Hosseini, Ezatollahi, Azmoun
