Egypt vs Angola:

Correct score 2-1 or 3-1

While I firmly believe Egypt is still a class above Angola, I suspect we will concede once. The starting XI have been announced a few minutes ago, and Shady Mohammad is starting instead of Fat'halla (i.e. same defence that faced Zambia).

Abu Treika is starting on the expense of Zidan, which is also a strange choice by Shehata. Well, at least Abd Rabbo is still in the line-up! *Sigh*

It won't be easy for the frontline because Abu Treika -while skillful- is "slow" with the ball, while our defence will most likely look like Goma'a marking Manucho, Shady marking Flavio, and Hani Sa'eed marking Shady! *Smirk*

Still... Sayyed Mo'awwad (left back) has the potential to do a massive contribution, unless Gilberto is thrown at him in which case Angoal's left side will come tumbling down to Egypt's right side with Fat'hi, Abd Rabbo and probably Abu Treika taking the advantage.

If Gilberto starts LEFT with Angola, Sayyed Moa'wwad has noone to stop him. So, one side will be a stalement, another will be dominated by Egypt.
