Egyptian football is a bit of an enigma. Their clubs have a fair amount of money and can offer ok wages, which is why the players don’t leave for European football quite as much as those from west Africa. The next few months will be interesting though, with Zaki and Mido back in the Prem.

It’s all publicity isn’t it!

Referring back to the blog. Good old Egypt, my longshots did it again and I missed out on the betting early doors, whats Eygptian for balls??.
Goes to show though what a decent organized side the Pharoahs can be. The Wembley game in a few weeks will be interesting. If we can do a decent job over them, I don’t think we have much to worry about from the other African sides at the World Cup.

Ha, great idea! Just don’t let Terry’s marketing men know you’re selling the shirt. They’ll be after you for some of the royalties, 1p or not!

Nice work William, i see your point about the shirts, i think i’ll be keeping my old England tops thank you very much and pray Puma don’t get appoiunted as our new suppliers*

By the way I have 2006 Red England Top with the number 6 (Bobby Moores number) & Terry (My middle name after Dexy) on the back. I doubt I will ever have the nerve of touching it again no our current England captain as fkd up. It will be available on Ebay later for the princely price of 1 penny. Details to follow.

Also, I’d like to correct part of my article: Egypt beat Cameroon in the quater-finals, not the Ivory Coast. Sorry about that.

Thanks! I like to think I wouldn’t disgrace myself if I was try to wear one of the Puma kits, but the current England shirt is a winner in my book too. Kits are important! I will regret to the end of my days the fact that I sold my first-ever football shirt once I outgrew it (the Man United black away kit from the mid-90s).

HA! nice post, i did have to double take when I saw the players in this skin tight kit – i can see Rooney now in a tight white england PUMA kit!! Still im sure 99% of premier league footballers would love this figure hugging show off kit..
