Our 1st ever victory over Croatia in WCH with 9 goals difference,  that was really amazing

Congrats Egypt

very good game and hope they will finally take a medal 

 

we were really bad, defense was a joke and well the rest was not much better. 
1/4 final is impossible now and qualification for Paris will be very difficult if not impossible. 
 

is my understanding correct if France and Egypt (I guess they will be Africa champ) and next European Champ are in the 1/4 finals, which is a very likely scenario, place 9 and 10 at WCH will guarantee a place in qualification for Paris. But how they will define who is in place 9 and 10?

easy work for Egypt just as expected with all due respect to Croatia they r a great team 

funny though how most people dismissed egypt chances just for the absence of one player (yahya khaled)

his replacement mohsen ramadan scored 6 goal i think and mohab saeed scored a goal 

 

if egypt can keep this form nobody can stop them other than the usual 3 france denmark and spain

Believe me i'm not 

i just think that Sweden ,Norway , Island and Germany r all in the same level which is very good and all of them in a good day can beat Egypt but it should be considered an upset, just like if Egypt won one of the top 3 i mentioned.

Fair enough. Would just say that quite a lot of experts have Sweden among the main contenders, at least in front of Spain and close to or above France as the main challenger to Denmark (have you seen what a beast Jim Gottfridsson have been lately?). Egypt shouldn't be underestimated but at least Sweden are in front of them by quite a bit. Norway as well if they manage to pull things together.

 beating  is sort of upset, isn't it? 

 

Also I didn't expected and didn't predicted too that Egypt might win over Croatia.

It’s actually the first game our team has ever won at the world championships (assuming the tweet below is correct.)

Sweden at home would be an upset if they win against Egypt? 

 

Like seriously this must be the dumbest thing I have read in a long time.
