Team News

Egypt: The big concern for Egypt manager Hector Cuper ahead of the competition has been the fitness of Salah, although he's set to feature. On the other flank, there's plenty of competition for places, with Trezeguet and Ramadan Sobhi jostling for a start.

Likely XI: Essam El-Hadary; Ahmed Fathi, Ali Gabr, Ahmed Hegazi, Mohamed Abdel-Shafi; Tarek Hamed, Mohamed Elneny, Abdallah El-Said, Mohamed Salah, Trezeguet; Marwan Mohsen

Uruguay: Oscar Tabarez has a number of surefire starters in his side in defence and up top. The big selection dilemmas come in midfield and on the flanks.

Likely XI: Fernando Muslera; Guillermo Varela, Jose Gimenez, Diego Godin, Martin Caceres; Lucas Torreira, Rodrigo Bentancur, Matias Vecino, Nahitan Nandez; Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani.

The beauty of World Cup, watching patriotism from the stands

[Ekorian]

I still can't forgive Changiu Suarez for the handball in 2010. Go Pharaohs!

[oloye]

These South American with their theatrics

[ohsee]

Mschewwww. Look at the empty seats in the stadium. This is the problem with Europe. When an African team is playing, people don’t show up. Contrast that with the WC in Brazil, a real football country. EVERY stadium was full for all the games.

[Scipio Africanus]

Egypt playing scared ...

[oloye]

Egypt gradually settling into the game

[uglyoneiamagain]

close.. good hustle by Egypt

O boy the thing tire me o, empty seats full stadium......Uruguay got some stars that should attract a decent amount of fans in the stadium.

[Scipio Africanus]

That's more like it Egypt!

First shot on goal by Trezeguet!

[Scipio Africanus]

Egypt applying pressure now! Shades of their scary team of the early aughts. Shades.

[cchinukw]

Is it me or is Suarez looking unfit?

Seems he has piled on some fat.

[Scipio Africanus]

Two things I want to happen ...

1. Egypt to score

2. To listen to Egyptian commentary when they do. Nobody calls a game like them.

[Scipio Africanus]

FK to Egypt in a dangerous spot!
