Oh fuck - he wants to go to Barca!Appaz its a back issue and not the hamstring according to sources in Egypt and the Ivory Coast.

I don't know how to read this, some fear it's more serious or it's not serious at all? Klopp mentioned in the presser that LFC may send their own medics, we better fly ours over especially with Quiroz did with him in the last AFCON.
I have no background in medicine but, I reckon (hopefully someone can confirm this) that he was born with two, so....yes.Has Mo had a hamstring before? Just wondering
That missed header a minute before to make it 2-2 though, whaaaat da fuuuuuuck.Gana Gueye to Mane and goal!
3-1 Senegal
yeah the Cameroon players looked distraught.That missed header a minute before to make it 2-2 though, whaaaat da fuuuuuuck.
Lovely cute finish it was by Sadio mind.
Unfortunately it looks like Cape Verde will rest players against Egypt having already won the group 😒The Egyptian FA confirm Salah will miss the next two games of the AFCON
Smart move.Unfortunately it looks like Cape Verde will rest players against Egypt having already won the group 😒
Isn’t that similar to Euros now though?Issue here for Euro 24 and the next World Cups. All this hardly getting eliminated from the groups is bollocks.
24 teams in the Groups, 16 go through. Fuck that, what's the point of the groups? Shite.
It is becoming a trait. As soon as the desired last ... is no longer a base 2 multiple then the competition is made so the the smallest group of 'must qualify' teams fitsIssue here for Euro 24 and the next World Cups. All this hardly getting eliminated from the groups is bollocks.

It's obvious isn't it. More games more money for FIFA and fuck the players.Issue here for Euro 24 and the next World Cups. All this hardly getting eliminated from the groups is bollocks.

I could correct you on the "base 2" bit, but that would be predictable.It is becoming a trait. As soon as the desired last ... is no longer a base 2 multiple then the competition is made so the the smallest group of 'must qualify' teams fits
In the case of the AFCON they had 12 teams that needed to pre-qualify (eg super shit), then 42 + 6 remaining super shit played in 12 mini-leagues of 4 to select the 24 qualifiers (2 of which only had 3 teams due to disqualifications). This gives them 2 teams out of the 4 qualifying from the mini-league - 12 x 2 = 24
Effectively they have more than 8 sufficiently strong teams to make a tournament of 16 politically unviable and not enough strong teams and resources to justify 16 teams to go to a 32 formai c
2^4 and 2^5 being the options I suggest they couldn’t fit toI could correct you on the "base 2" bit, but that would be predictable.
Suffice to say there are only 10 types of people in the world ...
Korea are a bit shit aren’t they?Watching the Jordan - S.Korea game. The Arab ref is acting a bit suspect. Did his best to not give the Koreans a pen. A five minute review for a clear pen.

I don't think Egypt will make the semis anyway, so hope Salah is back by the beginning of Feb and make it for Arsenal.There's a big chance that Egypt could fail to make the last 16. If they lose to Cape Verde (top of the group with 2 wins and a better team - though may rest players), then they'll finish 3rd but with just 2 points and a negative goal difference it may not be enough to finish as one of the better 4 x 3rd place finishers and qualify (there are 4 level or better than them as it stands).
Winter break init?I think this is good news. Mo will be well rested in Liverpool. Our doctor's will no doubt play it cool and perhaps only let him go if there is a semi final for Egypt. It isn't the end of the world for us if he has 2 weeks resting/recovering with us, then flies out to try and win AFCON without having to slog out 2-3 extra games before the semis / final.
Egypt are shite - they are never making the semis.I think this is good news. Mo will be well rested in Liverpool.

Egypt don't have to finish 4th. They play Cape Verde next - lose that by a couple and they are almost certainly going to be the 5th or 6th worst 3rd place team ... and out (they could still finish 4th though highly unlikely, they'd have to lose by 3 or 4 whilst the other match is a draw).Which is great. We can make it show like we care "we'll get you fit for the semis, lad" knowing that we are actually rehabbing him for Arsenal in the PL.
Egypt would have to come last for him to be available for the Chelsea game by my workings?
And they would need to lose the round of 16 for him to be made available for Arsenal?
