Egypt V Uruguay
(Synopsis in red)
Pregame bets:
In a World Cup the best advice I always say is back the World Class players to score, as usually they do, that’s why they are world class! Problem with Suarez is he is also a world class cunt, so if he doesn’t score he could just as easy get himself sent off, but its worth a punt for him to score against what shouldn’t a strong Egyptian defence.

Egypt v Uruguay – Anytime Goalscorer Luis Suarez 10/11
Ah balls, didn’t quite work out there, Luis decided to play his b game, should have had at least two goals. Needs to step it up a bit for the next game as he was so great today.

Who is set to win the battle of the beers? Eh, no one. Couldn’t source a beer from the mainly Islamic nation of Egypt so no shock there. But a little surprising that Uruguay is one of the few South or central American nations that dont do beer very well, a bit disappointing there. Anyhow will stock up on some grub for this game, and relax over beers later in the day with the other two games.
Had a nice cup of tea and a ham and cheese baguette, lovely stuff!
PreGame:
For Egypt and the whole footballing world, today a big question will be answered, will Mo Salah be fit in time to take the field against Uruguay?
It is vitally important that Egypt have their star man playing. He has had such a good season and what a great way to top it all off with a chance to shine in the World Cup for his country. And boy do Egypt need their star man today. Uruguay are a tough team to start off against and Egypt aren’t exactly blessed with a lot of household names so it will be tough without the “Egyptian Messi”.
Lets hope he can play for even some minutes in today’s game, even though I wonder would Héctor Cúper risk playing him against what are traditionally a very aggressive and tough tackling team in Uruguay. It really is a difficult decision for the coach, but after Russia coming out of the blocks on fire yesterday Egypt need some sort of result today to get off the mark.
Luckily for Uruguay they face an Egypt that have a star player with an injury worry. This makes their task much easier. I fancy their defenders would be eager to kick Salah up and down the park today, if he does attempt to play.
That aggression is also matched up front with Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani both noted for their physicality which I would imagine will cause all sorts of problems for the relatively weak Egyptian defence today. I can see at least one of them getting on the score sheet. I fear that Uruguay will overpower Egypt today, and wouldn’t be surprised to see them score a bagful of goals.
A more detailed review on Egypt here and on Uruguay here
Ok, not the best game at all. Shame that Egypt couldn’t have held out, their defence certainly played well enough to get a draw in the game. Egypt were very well set up, and I kind of understand the manager not wanting to play Salah, but perhaps he could have brought him on for the last ten minutes or so, if only to send some shivers down the Uruguayan defence.
Warda was fairly lively for Egypt, but should have been substituted much earlier in the second as he had gone off the boil big time, not even bothering to join the attack at times. While Kahraba was lively when he came on, and the goalkeeper had an excellent game, particularly the save near the end from Cavani. Ahmed El-Shenawy looks like he might have done enough to get a move to Europe with that great display of goalkeeping (He plays with Zamalek in Egypt).
As for Uruguay, they got out of jail today with that 89th winner from Gimenez. Godín was a rock in defence and was pissed with his midfield and forwards that more often than not he actually had to get things motoring by going forward into the Egyptian half of the pitch. Cavani was ok, but hell Suarez needs to cop on for the next game, enough off the fucking childishness.
