Posted by pajalnick: today saw the news that Salah speaks about participating in the World Cup .... of course I wish him a recovery but it's not good for the rivals .... that is for the Russian team .... I hope that our players will be able to neutralize Salah .. .. otherwise, everything is very sad ... soon soon
Apparently the doctors say it arrives. We will have to see better about the date. In the last world cup I remember that Suarez arrived injured and had an incredible recovery, being operated about 3 weeks before the tournament. Clearly it is about people with a physique that can have recoveries of that type. If I had the same injury, it would take me months haha. I hope it comes and I can play it. It would be a pity for a player to miss this great tournament. Anyway, I do not think he plays vs Uruguay.
of course Salah's game is very wonderful and it would be unfair if he missed this tournament .... so of course I think that he will fully recover by the beginning of the tournament ... the doctors will do their best for this .... but from the fan of the Russian national team this sadly

Egypt with Mohamed Salah or without him will not be able to do too much at this world championship. Egypt do not have a strong team and if they will meet a famous team will lose to several goals difference. I'm sorry because his team did not win Champions League but World Cup is for teams with good experience.

It is not uncommon, it is quite common that these games are played to prepare for the World Cup. Those matches are played at 50% or less, with some substitutes even. Some, like Uruguay, avoid playing vs. other participants. Uruguay plays the 7/05 against Uzbekistan, to say goodbye to its people! Egypt, on the other hand, plays 2 more complicated matches, vs Colombia, and vs Belgium. P.S: Salah discarded for the match vs Uruguay.

it is certainly understandable ... except for Salah in the Egyptian national team there are no top-level players .... but one Salah can make a lot of trouble for the Russian team .... the team of our country in its current state and composition is very weak .... and there are no hopes

I know ligador37 that is normal to play friendly games,but its not normal to play 7 days after end of most leagues,champions league final was at saturday and world cup is in 20 days!this players have soul,they need to rest sometimes! and todays news for salah is that he need 3 or 4 weeks for recovery,so probably he will miss games on start!

Most of the time those friendlies are not played with the top team, but rather with a better reserve to figure out who will make it to the World Cup, and who will not. As most squads are still overstrength now

This is true Pajalnick but you have to accept reality at this moment. Everything starts with kids and juniors. You do not invest money there, you do not have the chance to create many world-class footballers. I know that Russia has invested a lot of money in football in recent years but you must invest in small children for a beautiful future in football. In this way you can do beautiful things at European or world championships.

That's right, Dule Vu. A couple of days ago they confirmed that Salah is missing, at least, the first match of the world cup. Today I read a good news, Paolo Guerrero will be able to play the world cup. He is a great Peruvian striker, and necessary for his selection if he intends to move from the group stage. I have great faith in Peru. I think I could bet some money that passes to eighths

What is there not to know about the World Cup? There is sooooooo much going on and so many World Cup oriented promotions that one can exist for the ext 6 weeks without doing anything else other than watch football or play football related promotions. Football makes the world a wonderful place. Let’s hope FIFA 2018 is the best yet!

The world cup is the most anticipated event in the world. After that is the champions league i think. I just refer to football. He is the king of sport and once every 4 years it's worth seeing more beautiful matches. I hope the referees will not spoil the matches and we will see something beautiful.

I share in that The World Cup is the most important event in football. Now, I think that before the Champions League, there is the European Championship (in Europe, of course) and the Copa América, in South America. At least here, you live like that. Maybe the Europeans do not give so much importance to the Euro, but here if you give great importance to the Copa America. Uruguay has 15 cups won!

The televisions do not grant great importance in Europe for Copa America. Annual competitions are being watched by a football fans and 1st place is the Champions League. At 4 years the number 1 is World Cup and after that European Championship. I'm just talking about football. In general i do not know the world rating in these competitions but of course for South America number two is Copa America i think. Football is Number 1 but if the female tennis it would play nude, then it would become a serious competitor.

hahahha, I think that there would be a lot of attention, and television rights would be paid very well. When the Olympics are in, it is a pleasure to see women's hockey or hahah volleyball. Returning to the topic, yes, here the Copa America matters a lot, but we also love the Champions League, and the European leagues. Here we have the Copa Libertadores also. On the friendlies prior to the World Cup, Germany lost today vs Austria, and has made 5 games that can not win, but of course, they are friendly!

That's Germany's strategy ( I do not think Germany is in a bad period ). They play poorly in the friendly matches and in official games the situation changes. I know that you also have the Libertadores Cup your variant for Champions League and winners of these competitions play Super Intercontinental Cup. Beautiful games and many beers. I hope we will have a very beautiful world cup with strong matches.

This world cup is expected to be a very good one for young talents as well. If this happens, then the prices of the good or young players will increase again. I'm curious what some teams will do in this world cup and if the predictions on them are ok. One more thing would be that: the fans of the English team will move to russia or not? I do not know why they hate so much.
In this way you can do beautiful things at European or world championships.
