I hope Egypt lose all three games and Salah avoids injury.

I only care about Salah and that he will returned in good health and not overplayed.

Fuck internationals.

I wonder if Mo gets free kicks when he plays for Egypt :thinking:

I think the best we can hope for is Burnley really with Salah.

Somehow they fuck up and go out in the last 16 would probably get him for the Arsenal league game.

Yeah, I expect theyā€™ll make the semi-finals, at least. The third placed playoff will be the same day as the Burnley game, though.

Iā€™d like to see him win it, anyway.

Mo wears the wrong boots

Still donā€™t get the every 2 years thing. Having it so often cheapens the competition surely? Winning it becomesā€¦meh, to the neutral. When watching games on TV, they feature stadia half full - at best. How do they make money out of these competitions?

Seems a good outcome in my view

It is the biggest money spinner in African football.

Iā€™m pretty sure that itā€™s run just for the benefit of the football executives across the continent and from FIFA. Lots of free holidays and backhanders for all.

I think holding international tournaments in general every 2 years doesnā€™t help them.

I know FIFA wanted the World Cup every 2 years.

Like all international tournaments then

Ivory Coast :cote_divoire: vs Guinea Bissau :guinea_bissau: tonight.

I canā€™t wait.

The keeping during these tournaments never fail to make you laugh.

The Guineans showing how every team should enter the building before a match.
