Egypt have a bizarrely great record in that competition considering they never do anything at World Cups, they usually don't even qualify.

They've got a Pharaoh chace this time.

You have the Luxor-ry of hindsight though.

Tut tut to the punathon, but you have to admit that Egypt are quite low down on the football pyramid. Still, Elmo's a bit of a Giza, so good luck to him.

Yep Kodj is in, they are our only two

Need an Afcon thread really, but fairly remarkably my 2nd nation Uganda beat I Coast 1-0 with a pen in a warm up friendly, Kodj booked in stoppage time, they even brought on Zaha & Bony in 77th min and still lost.

The best team in Uganda are called Villa. Great bunch of lads.

I’ve been to see them play, have a couple of shirts. Took a villa penant to their Villa Park (training ground) basically a bit of land by a railway track in Kampala.

Bit of land by a railway track? Sounds like The Sty.

Great goal. We should not be worried about lack of forwards.
Anyway I presume due to still actively playing this late in the season he will not be ready to start the season with us?

[Steve67]

Nice finish Elmo.

Some touch from one foot to another in a crowded box and a corker of a finish

[Toronto Villa]

Bolasie looks exactly the player he was for us. Flashes of brilliance, outstanding crosses, and then long periods of forgetting he’s a footballer.
