oh my bad i don't know why i'm always convinced that this match ended 3-0 for Bulgaria despite the fact i know very well that Croatia did the same result against Germany

i think Bulgaria defeating Germany 3-0 could be the biggest surprise ever of the WC , because Germany is an icon of WC , WC holders at days were the WC holders were a team that everybody fears , bulgaria was a very small nation in football and actually Bulgaria did a miracle in the qualifications to qualify , France needed only 1 point of their last 2 matches and they lost to whom at home Israel ! then they needed another tie against u in France also , but they lost 2-1 , it can be a miracle on grass or something like that

Costa Rica : Navas the goalkeeper for Real Madrid for years , Morocco : Zeyach one of the best players in dutch league and benatia ex bayern and was a juve player at this moment Russia : Denis Cheyshev former Real player and a very good player at Villareal Australia : without a doubt Tim Cahill even if he's a substitute and old but he's still a big figure for the Australian team Peru : Rafael Guerrero : ofc he's a world class player and very well known in Europe after his years in Germany and farfan as well Nigeria : Alex Iwobi and Ahmed Musa IMO is a very good player Iceland : Sigurdsson on of Everton main stars for years so he's definitely a real god player Switzerland : Shaqiri ofc , Xhaka is also a good player and a defender played for years in Juve Stephan Lichtsteiner Serbia : Kolarov a very famous player that played for years in Lazio and Man City and Mitrovic a previous star in NewCastle Sweden : Emil Forsberg one of the stars in Bundesliga and Leipzig Mexico : Chicharito ofc Japan : Honda , Kagawa , okazaki very well known players abroad Iran : Azmoun is somehow known in Europe and he's a high quality player in Russia Tunisia : Wahbi khazri one of the well known players in France KSA and Panama nothing

These teams didn't succeed to make it to Semis because they were simply not good enough and only Germany and Argentina had good results in their last major tournaments before WC out of this group , yet Croatia and England qualifying to Semis were big surprise but this's always WC, for me Russia 2018 was simply amazing many matches to remember Spain Vs. Portugal, France Vs. Argentina, Belgium Vs. Japan, Belgium Vs. Brazil, Croatia Vs. Russia, Croatia Vs. Argentina, Croatia Vs. England, Germany Vs. Sweden, Germany Vs. Korea, Uruguay Vs. Portugal and many others also it was one of the balanced WCs ever because almost each team participating except 2 or 3 teams had world class player(s) something like WC in 1994

speaking about other games than final , i think that Belgium vs. Japan match in 2018 is very underrated much , for me that was definitely one of the best games ever i saw in the WC , Ghana vs. Uruguay in WC 2010 what a match and what a spirit between those 2 teams to reach a historical Semis and ofc that penalty missed in the 120th minute by the Penalties' specialist Asamoah Gyan made it such unforgettable match , i'd say also Brazil vs. Germany in 2014 OFC that was diffidently a match that'd be remembered for years , Brazil vs. England in 2002 WC QF IMO that was the best match of tournament and the true final of this WC and ofc Italy vs. Germany in 2006 WC Semis , maybe i can add to them Ghana vs. Czech Rebublic in 2006 WC Group Stage that was a hell of a big surprise , Ghana a team that's making their debut in the WC defeating one of the best teams in the world at this date and ofc Czech did a very entertaining Euro 2 years before and they deserved much better result than Semis , these're matches that i can really remember out of the 5 WCs i saw live

looks like you're a big fan of Ecuador , actually they're always a cool team to watch they just play for scoring goals despite the team they're facing , btw Carlos Tenorio the one who scored 2 goals for them in QC 2006 had a real magnificent career in al Saad team in Qatar , i remember him very well from playing there

i chose Italy vs. France out of the 5 finals i saw because always having penalties in the final match of WC is something really interesting and it wasn't anyhow boring match at least better than this 2010 final which i can only remember this Iniesta's Goal and those 2 big chances missed by Robben , maybe 2014 was the best , but i thought that i already have a lot of matches that Germany involved in , so it'd be better to mention others as well for 2018 i really really liked this tournament it was the best for me out of those 5 i watched live , but unfortunately France ended things really early that match in the 1st 15 minutes of 2nd half

do u mean Italy vs. Germany in Semis or Italy vs. France in the final ?

as long as there're no live matches of any sort these days in sport generally , so it's not strange to talk about the past and watch some old matches , i'm really interested these days in watching some classic matches of WC and Euros , talking about our topic i watched WC since 2002 , but i watched the highlights of almost every final of WC and i watched some full matches of these finals , so here's my list of top 5 WC Finals in history upon my opinion :- 1- West Germany vs. Netherlands : 1974 WC Final in Germany which ended 2-1 for the home side , the most exciting game which couldn't be decided until the vary last second , some of the most legendary footballers ever playing in this final , one of the rarest times that we had a final of WC of the really best 2 teams in world at these days . 2- Argentina vs. West Germany : 1986 final in Mexico which ended 3-2 for Maradona's side : differently this final is among the most exciting finals ever of WC , Argentina leading 2-0 until 74th minute and Germany just scores two goals to tie the match and at the moment Germany try to win the match Argentina scores a 3rd goal and wins it all , really what a turn around match 3- Italy vs. France : 2006 final in Germany which ended in Penalties for Italy , the 2nd ever final that was decided upon penalties and again Italy was one of its 2 sides , very exciting game with a really turning point where Zidan was sent off in his last football match after this butt to Materazzi 4- England vs. West Germany : 1966 Final in England which ended 4-2 for the home side after extra time , and it had the most controversial decision ever in any final when Geoff Hurst shot hit the crossbar and it wasn't sure if it crossed the line or not , but it was given a goal for the Englishmen who later scored the 4th goal that ended the drought for the 1st and only title ever for England 5- Uruguay vs. Brazil : 1950 final in Maracana which had the most ever surprising result of a WC final where Uruguay out of nowhere defeated a very strong home side under the sites of 200 k fans watching the game , Brazil only needed a tie to win WC as the final round was a group stage tournament , but it was Uruguay in the end that won their 2nd and last WC ever so for u what were your best 5 so far

I do agree that we'll have such 2 boring years with sport no multi sport games, no World championships except maybe for handball hopefully it won't postpone MP and karate which's supposed to take place in October! Until euro 2021 we'll only have handball to look at and football leagues talking about summer sports ofc

at least few of them took part , so these few athletes will not take part also in 2021 but actually there were a good number of elite athletes participating in 2018 as far as i remember comparing to another editions

i don't think athletes will prefer to take part in multi-tournament games just less than 2 months before Olympics

how come olympic athletes will participate in these games after some few days of Tokyo

Mideterranean games 2021 in Oran has been postponed officially to 2022

i know the deadline has ended from way ago but i wanted to share this song with u because i really like it despite i don't prefer this color of music in Egypt , so here we go Egypt Wegz - دورك جاى your turn is coming

i read it's more than 1000 , this's really dangerous curve if this news is true , god keep everybody safe

For football will they make an exception for players with 24 ys that would have took part in Tokyo 2020 normaly ? another problem

i think all qualification systems should remain the same , that'll be fair enough for all athletes , only those direct qualification tournaments which were cancelled should be rescheduled for another dates whether on the same country or another

maybe Ihab abdelrahman can have a shot to shine again in men's javelin after 4 Ys of absence , maybe Farida Osman can improve her records in women's 100 fly and 50m free , alaa abouelkassem maybe in foil , Ahmed el gendy in MP he had such a terrific 2018 season , but his curved declined much in mid 2019 and start of 2020 , maybe he could retain his level again and shine in 2021 , Hedaya Malak in taekwondo and Seif eissa after injuries , especially hedaya who suffered from a lot of injuries after her bronze medal in Rio but i'm worried that such athletes like Giana Farouk ( karate ) , Mohamed Ibrahim in wrestling , Feryal abdelziz ( karate ) and Azmy Mehelba ( Shooting ) who had real shots for medals in tokyo decline their level in the upcoming year , u never know what will happen next in Egypt , ofc if the olympics will be held next year which i really hope
