These African teams who have qualified are the worse I have ever witnessed. Shame it had to be on British soil (with their naive talk).

Helipolis my problem with you is that you get extremely defensive even when Egypt are getting the right criticism. Stop it man,i was with Egypt and wanted them to win but they didn't. They had a lot of chances and New Zew land could have easily made them pay for those misses.

I think Egypt play lovely football,i cant count how many time salah and #7 ran that right wing down,i simply loved it but they just couldn't score.
BTW guys New Zealand is not a yeye team,if Egypt can find the net,they can go for a silver,bronze or Gold in this tournament.

I'm not being defensive at all. Scroll up above and you'll see I said we choked today.

What I have issue with is people who didnt even watch the game commenting on it saying we lack heart. How does a team that actually fought back vs Brazil and completely tore NZ to shreds today lack heart? So if Barcelona dominated another team for 90 minutes but didnt come away with 3 points then do we just say they lacked heart? When Spain lost to Japan the other day did yujam say Spain lost heart? This Egypt team...the 2012 Egypt Olympic team has not shown any indication that they lack heart or lack ambition. Ofcourse I'm going to speak out when people say unstantiated nonsense that makes no sense whatsoever. At the end of the day, we took 28 shots on goal, completely dominated, but fell short. That is an indication we lacked composure, we choked, we arent good enough. It's not an indication we lacked heart. Only someone who didnt watch the match would say something so observed.

Here is what soccernet had to say about the match BTW...

...The Africans could have had at least seven goals by the final whistle but a mixture of last-ditch Kiwi defending, and some awful finishing from Egypt, meant they had to settle for a draw in what was a poor-quality contest....

...Meteab rounded the keeper in injury time, but he dallied and, hounded by three defenders, he blazed over the open goal. The miss was so bad that five of his team-mates fell to their knees in disbelief.

Yujam, I know Egypt appeared to choke today, but they're still very much in the competition.
They can still go very far, so maybe you should ease up on the criticism for now..
