(Malawi - Egypt) preview

“my players will burn the Egyptian team” this is what Malawi’s coach (i don’t know his name and who does!!) said about the match. am i scare or am i scared?????? , maybe i am terrified from the mighty Malawi team who is formed from super star players who play in real madrid, barcelona,manchester, milan,juventus….etc.

away from this lunatic coach of Malawi, there are 2 reasons -until now- why we should be optimistic about our world cup qualifying campaign.

1- last time we went to world cup in italia 90 we played on this field against Malawi.

2- if you are following euro 2008, you may notice that Holland is marching toward the title just like they did in 1988. so maybe they win the European title and then we qualify and we are in the same group again and maybe hosni abd raboh score from a penalty again!!.

as for the team, the boys are now in malawi getting read yfor the match, we will be missing emad meteb because of a kneck injury, mohamed fadl and abd el aziz tawfik. they are replaced with abdallah el saeed and abd el salam nagah. also amr zaki mayn’t show up for this game because pain in his knees. rather than that everyone is ready for the game.

for malawi team, i know nothing about them except they bet djibouti 8-1 and that they lost from congo. they have no history to be mentioned nor they have famous players to talk about.

the game itself may not be easy, not because of Malawi team but because of the weather (it is raining there) and the pitch. anyway we must win to secure a place in the second round of qualifiers after congo beat djibouti 6-0 and are now at the top of the group with us.

it would be a one side game in the direction of malawi’s goal as usual but as earlier as we score the easier the match will be. i heard there will be much fans (40000!!) so we need to shut them up as quickly as possible.

key players would be hosni abd raboh, ahmed hassan and shikabala because with all these absences they may have the greater role of scoring. our starting strikers would be ahmed eid abd el malek and abd el salam naga7. on the other side, the defense line and essam el hadary won’t have much trouble to deal with.

prediction: 0-3
