Saudi Arabia ended their 2018 World Cup campaign on a relative high managed to beat Egypt by the odd goal in three. Egypt will return home from the tournament with a bitter taste in their mouth having arrived at the tournament expecting to put in a much better all round performance. Saudi Arabia will be…
In a fixture that has little more at stake than pride Saudi Arabia will take on Egypt in Group A. Egypt will hope to take three points to dilute the bitter disappointment of this campaign. Saudi Arabia have nothing to lose but will have little motivation. I tip Egypt to win this. Back Egypt to…
Russia have put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the last 16 after easing past Egypt in their Group A encounter.

The second round of fixtures in Group A kicks off with Russia vs Egypt. Russia will be brimming with confidence following their 5-0 drubbing of Saudi Arabia.

With Mo Salah doubtful for the World Cup the host will no doubt be extremely hopeful of their chances to progress to the knockout stage. I…
The only thing that is certain in Group A is that Saudi Arabia will not be making it through to the knock out round. Beyond that choosing the winner in this group is not as easy. Firstly, a lot will depend on whether Mo Salah will be fit in time to lead his country in…
The stage was set last night for Mo Salah to cement his place in football history but the football gods had other plans. As Real Madrid and Liverpool faced off in the UEFA Champions League 2018 final last night, Mo Salah tussled with Spain’s Sergio Ramos as the two chased for the ball. The two…
