It is sometimes difficult to know how to feel about Mohamed Salah. The former Chelsea and Roma star has enjoyed quite possibly the finest season of his career this year with Liverpool, having arrived from La Liga last summer. He topped the Premier League goalscoring charts and generally dominated play, lighting up football pitches up and down England whenever he laced up his boots. With that in mind, there were high hopes that he could help inspire his team-mates in the Egypt national team into a good outing at the World Cup this summer. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened, and rumours have been swirling that Salah could even be set to retire from the international stage at just 26 years old.

Brazil v Costa Rica: Group E - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

An action-packed week on the World Cup is the books and the tournament rages on with an uncanny amount of penalties and own goals. The first verdicts are already in: Russia and Uruguay have advanced in the group A after their wins against Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Croatia did the same in the G one.

While La Celeste has been doing it with minimal efforts, the other two teams, along with Belgium have been the most impressive squads so far. The Sbornaya is on an incredible run and is very well-structured. As for the Red Devils, who have more than one foot in the next phase, Romelu Lukaku keeps terrorizing defences, while Eden Hazard netted his first two goals in a World Cup.

The World Cup is finally here, so let’s take a look at the first few days of action. The home team of Russia will kick things off on Thursday facing Saudi Arabia in the pretty open group A. There is a lot of curiosity towards the Red Army, which obviously skipped the qualifications and has played only three official games in the past two years, in the Confederations Cup, and had mixed showings in the friendlies.

Their main rivals to advance, Egypt and Uruguay, will square off on Friday.  Continue reading →
