2.Iraq
1.Brazil

I want to see that happen so that we can see a USA-Iraq game.

but even if that happens, they wont face each other...unless if they beat spain or brazil

team 1 plays team 2 of the other group

[Pharaoh]

they're only doing it for the world champions


FIFA is planning on doing these things from now on. For example, the world cup winners are gonna have a special logo they can wear in the next world cup they participate.

Haha it's all good. Spain isn't the world champs but Adidas gave them a new kit . We need to earn that status though, so I don't blame Puma in the mean time.

i just watched your sig. i love ejipshons. not just cuz of the sig too. also the zamalek fan one, and i know 3 extremely funny egyptian individuals in real life. god bless egypt man.

Yeah we're jokes . If you understood what he was saying you'd probably laugh even more. This was taken right after Ahly beat Ismaily in a playoff to win the Egyptian league title. Ismailia the city is known for its fruit (specifically mangos) and their jersey is mango colored. So the guy is saying "EL MANGA BAAAZET (the mango rotted)," "NAKOL EL BATTEEEEKH (let's eat the Watermelon)," since it's red like Ahly's jersey .

Lets see how Zaki does. He was abit dissapointing in the Premiership after starting so well scoring a beatiful goal at Anfield.

Routing Egypt to win hopefully.

[IranSoccer#8]

No hossam ghaly in the squad pharoh jon?

[Sumerian]

Did Bora give any explanation for this? Karim had a very good season. Ismaily's leading scorer in fact. Honestly, if he was Egyptian I think he would be on our national team (if you consider Ismaily's other striker, the useless Abougreisha, was called up).

It's because he arrived late. He had to feature in the play-off vs. Al-Ahly!

They will be so demoralised for Confed Cup

[Darvish11]

if spain makes it to the finals, they would have broken the record for longest unbeaten streaken in history (breaking brazils record they set in 1993-1996)

lol watch iraq beat them
