That should read ‘Benzema and Ribéry’ because they ‘shared’ that underage escort.

Beats me either.
He’s the most unrewarded player around.
From People rugby tackling him to the ground and not even getting a booking. Any foul on him at the penalty area isnt given as a penalty.
To not respecting him or his achievements. Even the African footballer of the year for instance. No disrespect to Lookman who had a great year but Salah’s performance year on year for Liverpool are and were miles above what Lookman has ever produced.
I think he feels that at this time , all he wants to do is win more trophies for Liverpool. Anything else is purely incidental. He probably couldn’t care less for any Balon Dor etc etc.
Arsenal and Chelsea fans trying to put Saka and Palmer in that Salah bracket. Big percentage of their goals comes from penalty kicks.
Just a reminder that Mo was not our first choice penalty taker when Milner was on the pitch.
Think Salahs first penalty goal in the league was in his fourth season with us.

Both Palmer and Saka are cracking players. But Mo, as of now is leagues above.
We should have gotten Palmer though. That was a bargain price when he moved to Chelsea.

Salah got his first chance and missed his first penalty in 2017 (in the league). Then scored his first in the league a few months after that. Both were against Huddersfield.
There was a period when we were looking long term for someone to take over from Milner (he also gave a few chances to other players, or probably had that approval from Klopp), or at least be ready when he starts playing/starting less.
Both Mane and Firmino scored and missed a few. There’s also the technique aspect, confidence aspect and the need to put extra work in during the week. Analysing goalkeepers ahead of games, etc.
I hate the story about the Madrid penalty, but can’t complain about his record for us! At one point not long ago it was close to dropping below 80% (which would’ve been an issue to discuss about and potentially change), but now he’s back at 82%.
His current senior percentage for both clubs and country is 80%.
I’m pretty sure it was a case of whoever it was taking penalties would take them until they missed, then it would be someone else’s turn. In all fairness I think Salah didn’t miss any for quite a stretch, no?
Anyone who lives overseas wrestles with cultural integration - how and to what degree. In this instance Mo is simply marking a widespread holiday with his family. Good on him. Family time with your wife and little daughters. They probably got gifts. It’s all lovely.
The majority of people in the UK who celebrate Christmas would be very light on the whole religious aspect to it. Even if Mo is held to a different standard to the majority of people - and he should not be - as a Muslim there would be no issue in recognizing Jesus as a prophet, so the whole thing is a nothing burger.

All my life there have been complaints from Christians that we need to “put Jesus back into Christmas”. This is a point of contention in both majority Christian countries in which I have lived, and so this is a pretty good demonstration of how much a secular element Christmas has taken on. This is what has allowed people of all stripes who live in those countries to embrace and celebrate it in a way that makes them part of the community in which they are living.
Mo has commented that his girls became excited about it from the build up it experienced in school and so they wanted to do a proper Christmas for them. It is a lovely piece of parenting.

Don’t understand what’s the big deal in having a Christmas tree at a Muslim house.
Firstly, be it Christmas, Eid, or Puja; it’s more about festivity than anything else these days.
Secondly, I used to have loads of non-Muslim friends visiting (to devour my mother’s heavenly cooking) during Eids while I used visit Puja Mondops (for…umm…purely spiritual matters 
).

One of my friends she is Muslim and puts a tree for her kids for exactly same reason.

I must have missed where a Christmas tree was a Christian thing…

Almost Salah has a mind of his own and he believes that doesn’t impact on his own personal faith. Many others who have faith could learn a lot from him
