Mohamed Salah

[Sheva. 5,373]

He's still 3rd choice to start on the right, but a good option to have in the squad.

His pace and skill can change any game, it's now about him being more composed in decisive moments.

[5354 204]

got a feeling he is not the first choice that JM wants

[LAM09 6,793]

His trump card is his left foot. If he can take his chances with both hands; I can see him making a name for himself!

[yuvala 2,167]

Really looking forward to see this lad playing, he's really something special IMO.

I really like his runs.

[LAM09 6,793]

I hope this doesn't jeopardise his career!

From another website:

"Is Salah pro-democracy? did he say anything about that. In Egypt we just had a coup and now have a dictatorship. So if Salah said anything they are probably just scaring him to show him that they can destroy him."

[Mohammed Seif 1,451]

That has been all over the Egyptian sports news today. That will not really happen as he will be granted an exemption from that withing the next upcoming days.

I really don't think that is true. Salah always refrains from talking about politics. No Egyptian really knows what his views are.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Just read the news. I imagine it will be sorted out, but still not something that should have happened. The guys is representing Egypt on one of the biggest stages in the world, this is not how he should be treated.

[Spike 12,049]

I'd say he is probably better as a role model than a dead soldier.

[Spike 12,049]

Awesome player anyway. So damn fast. Through balls by Cesc have the potential to annihilate teams on the counter.

The funny thing is, even if he serves the military, he will be in a non combatant role. Just a waste of talent.

Is this just another case of a governing body flexing their power?

Not really, it is actual a sign that the revolution worked. Fairly speaking Salah's grades do not allow him to enter this institute. An exception was made for him which other students see is unfair. The new minister of education fears that there might be strong criticism to "injustice to other students", so he cancelled his admission. It is just an act from the minister to "wash his hands", if you know what I mean. Never the less we know how this is going to turn out in Egypt and the kid will get exempted some way or another within the few coming days. Salah has been a source of pride for the Egyptians by just making it in a big club in England. People will stand behind him causing this decision to be reverted one way or another.

Whoa, really? I can see why that would make other students mad. But Salah could be a great role model. I didn't know that. But you say he'll be fine? That's good.

I am not going to bury my head in the ground like an ostrich. We have a lot of bureaucratic problems in Egypt and obsolete laws. But things are changing and he will be fine. He is a role model for A LOT of people, especially youngsters in Egypt. He will be fine.
