Mohammed Seif

Sounds good to me . But just in case he gets a nasty injury that stops him from being a millionaire, a plan B is not a very bad idea.

Army takes people starting at the age of 18 unless he is still studying. If the army wanted him they would have taken him 3 years ago. Furthermore he would have not been able to continue playing for Basel or make the transfer to Chelsea if the army wanted him. The kid simply knows that football careers are short and he needs to do something afterwards.

Congrats on the pick. Good choices

That goal was sweeeet

I don't really know why the big fuss. The kid had an injury that kept him off the pitch for a while. He returned in a tough game against tough opponents. He did his best given our tactics and the support he on the field.He is definitely not back in top form due to the injury, but he wasn't that bad. Don't know why he is being judged hard, especially when he is not playing under normal physical conditions. Could he have done better? Yes, but it is not a big deal. We didn't lose because of him. We lost as a team. Hope he gets better and finds his form as soon as he can for the remaining matches and the world cup.

Reminds me of the book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion".

"Divide and Rule", a phrase a lot of people are familiar with. A question though, especially to the English. Since that we have a history, and a very long one if I may say. How come, people don't understand or reject the media behavior? I know politicians are backing up the media, or actually the media are backing up the politicians. It is so easy for the media to ask their embassies if they really wanted to know what is going on. The people are my concern. I always have blamed poverty and lack of education in countries like Egypt. Apparently I am wrong. There are other factors. I don't know them, but I know they are there when I look at how people from first world countries act. A week or so, Ayman Al Zawahri, leader of Alqaeda, said that he backed up the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, along with other non sense against the U.S and other nations. I was like " Yes, atleast now people would know what is going on in Egypt and that it is not political like they think. It is all based on criminal and terrorist acts". I was naive at that moment . I checked out how people reacted on "CNN" and "BBC", and people were condemning Muslims for being quiet and not making statements or taking actions against such terrorist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I REALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD. A few days later the sentencing of the outlaws is presented (20% of which are MB) and we are still condemned. I understand the media aspect. But please explain to me why the people fail to understand, think, and evaluate before following the media blindly? They have access to good education and resources. They majority of people are not suffering from a crushing poverty. Why the ignorance and trivial judgements? I mean no offense ofcourse and I am not stereotyping. But I am referring to the public opinion that backs up certain foreign policies. I would really like to know.

The worst thing about it is, that it creates hostility between nations among the ordinary people. When you check the posts of westerns on the topic and how much hatred there is, you would be shocked. At the same time, the Egyptians see that the west just hates Egypt and this allows them to sink deeper into their conspiracy theories. The scary thing is that this makes the most fertile environment for extremism. As far as who benefits, I think I do know

I hope know you get what I mean when I explained how the Judiciary system works. So what What the media reported as 528 getting the death penalty turned out to be just bad press handling of how the system works. Final verdict is 38 getting the death sentence. Again what the media failed to report is that out of the 38 only 7 or 8 are in prison. Meaning that the other 30/31 who got that sentence will be automatically re trialed. Not to mention that the 7/8 will appeal this sentence and have a chance to escape the death penalty. I though the western media, will atleast learn from that first case. Instead, they just did the same all over with the 683. Everyone gets hyped and start talking about mass murdering and in the end that is not true. I find that way of reporting news quiet disturbing. Especially when ordinary people, who live in countries that doesn't have the death penalty and do not know how the Judiciary system works in Egypt, read about it. I don't blame them for getting irritated or angry, but I blame the media for not reporting things accurately and educating people. If I am to report something about another country, I have to make sure that the people would know how that country operates by stating facts, not blurry subjective opinions.

I agree. I doubt if they had the amount of matches we had this season,they would have been in the top 4. Especially with such lousy defense. Plus it ain't over yet. They are close, but who knows, maybe things go our way again.

I am not disagreeing with anything bro . As I said I don't care if they win it or not and I am not discussing Liverpool as a club. I am discussing the act of dedicating a trophy for the fallen ones. Yep they might be overdoing it. But as you know, the story of Hillsborough took many twists and is still alive as far as the family of the deceased are concerned (and for some of the fans too). The fans ( as you know and even the Ahly fans) keep abusing these stories. They keep repeating it and it is just part of their history that cannot be changed. Forget it is Liverpool and how you feel about them as a club for a minute. I agree that half these players weren't born at the time. I will even assume hypothetically none were. It is part of the club's social responsibility bro. If the players were not there, the club as an entity was. If they don't keep fighting for it and remembering it, then for sure they will lose fan base. Debatable how much they would lose, but why would people support a club that doesn't remember the fans that died while supporting this club? I agree with you that the means that they are using are questionable. And there is a great sense of exaggeration. But I am not discussing the means. After all, that fan generation was the one partially responsible for the death of 39 in Belgium at the final against Juventus at Heysel. Yet they don't mention it and deny it. Clubs have to remember their fallen ones, even when the case is closed. It is part of transforming loyal fans into advocates. Clubs will end up making money in the long run out of it (which is sad) and fans will feel more attached to the club and feel that they are getting some "love" back. Though it is much recent, but there has been a memorial for the Ahly victims every year, and they keep talking about it even though the ones responsible got sentenced ( a few of which got the death penalty for it). They even forget that they are partially responsible for it. The club has to show that social responsibility, it is part of how corporations work. Same as Juventus. English clubs have been banned from the European championships for years but the memory and hatred remains especially amongst the hardcore fans. They keep re-living it. It is part of their history now. It is just like everything in our lives man. Once it happens it becomes part of your history and it is hard to be forgotten. Some people deal with it in an objective matter others let their passion control it. Football is all about passion. Ahly will keep remembering their victims, Juventus, Liverpool, ManUnited and other clubs. It is part of the club's history and identity. Again, Liverpool as a club is not the issue for me. I am only talking about the act of remembering the fallen and giving something back especially that the case is not closed.

Winning the league is a way for the players to say to their spectators " We will always do our best for you, like you always come to support us and some of you lose your lives doing so". I think that is the only way a club can show support to their fans. Yes it will not bring back the dead. But maybe it would give the families of the lost ones some (even though it is so small) comfort by showing, that like the fans are loyal to the club, the club is loyal to the fans and will always remember the lost ones. 4 years ago, 72 Egyptian Ahly fans were killed and I know for sure that was how the players felt. When they won the African Champions League the same year, they dedicated it to them and received the cup and medals wearing a shirt that had 72 on it. They know that they are nothing without their fan's love and support. And winning a title and dedicating it to them. When people go to visit their loved ones' graves, they would like to think that their loved ones can feel them or hear them. When they put flowers on their graves, they are well aware that they will not take those flowers, but it is a way to say that they love them and miss them. Such acts make loyal fans advocate. I don't like Liverpool neither do I hate them really. I am commenting on the act regardless of the name of the team. It is always good when the fans know that the players care about them too from time to time, and that it is not all about the money and fame. It is a respectful way to remember the dead fans by dedicating a trophy to them in my opinion.

May he rest in peace.

Oh man, do I really miss some sanity . Thanks

If that happens then it will be total non sense. Most likely we would lose and not be a small margin. These players have never played alongside each other. If that is the approach, playing a new team (which I highly doubt), then I think we are better start the entire youth team. Atleast they have team chemistry between them.

I frankly don't see the point of comparing the values of Salah and Schurrle. I think that is totally irrelevant and deceiving anyways. Schurrle is a good player and he has proven to be useful for the team in a lot of games. Being useful doesn't necessarily mean always scoring and assists. His runs on alone can force defenders to go out of position allowing an opportunity else where for a teammate to take advantage of that. On the other hand Salah is also a good player for Chelsea and proved he can be of some use. It is early to say if he is going to be starter or a sub. It is also TOO early for anyone even EXPERTS to say that he would be poor in the future. People should be optimistic from what he has showed up till now. Started 3 games and he did well in all 3 (though the last game wasn't his best out of them). The kid shows that he has a lot of potential and it remains to see how much of a player he would turn out to be. That can only be told as time goes by. At a young age like his it means 3-4 years till he is close to being fully developed. So I don't see the rush in judging him. Same applies for Oscar, Schurrle and Hazard. So people really need to chill a bit when judging players like Salah, Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard and others at their age.

Real are playing a fantastic counter attack game.

Modric is a genius

great counter good goal

Looked very rusty against Sunderland, but did great today, especially with the crosses

A good result. Any win will put us through. Totally, disappointed because of Cech's injury and hoping that the Terry injury is no big deal. Confident that we would put on a different show offensively at the Bridge and getting the result. It is half time only and we can make it to the final. Good game.

nope, just player positions

Hey, but I loved how you fought for Salah. Looooool. Nice one

Mate that is not the debate . Salah is just ineligible. That is all

If you don't press, they keep attacking, throwing balls in, shooting and putting you under constant pressure. That is more risky
