Honestly speaking he was poor with the rest of them. It was understandable though. It was the swan song for Abou-trika, and the playoff was pretty much over.

What a player Abou Treika is, though :worship:

Might not have gotten global fame because he never played in Europe, but he was one of the best players of his generation, certainly in Africa.

I saw him live in the Olympics last year, always been a fan, stylistically I'd say he's Zidanesque although he plays as a SS/ACM.

In his prime he was certainly the best African player for country his generation. The biggest shame was that he never got his world cup appearance.

Yeah, Egypt's luck with the WC was similar to ours with the CL. But 4 AFCON titles are not bad at all, not to mention all his continental success with Al Ahly.

Anyway, back to Michael, will be great seeing him in the WC :D
