Will Salah Lead Egypt to World Cup Glory?…
Mohamed Salah has a chance for sweet revenge, three years after Sadio Mane’s Senegal torpedoed Egypt’s World Cup dreams. This could be Salah’s time to shine brighter than a disco ball at a 70s dance party, as he aims to lead Egypt to the 2026 World Cup in North America. A win against Burkina Faso on Tuesday would seal Egypt’s top spot in their group, all thanks to Salah’s leadership magic and maybe some mystical pharaoh spirits. With nine group winners booking spots in the expanded 48-nation tournament, getting a place is like winning a chocolate factory—a really big deal!
Salah and co. were victorious against Ethiopia with a 2-0 triumph, and the penalty-scoring duo gig was shared by both Salah and Omar Marmoush. Meanwhile, Burkina Faso triumphed with a 6-0 win over Djibouti, with Dango Ouattara showing he’s got as many tricks up his sleeve as a magician at a rabbit convention. Salah, currently a goal machine, is hot on the heels of the Golden Boot like a cheetah chasing an ice cream truck. With past missteps weighing on him, Salah aims to turn heartbreak into triumph and make sure Egypt’s future is brighter than a lighthouse convention!
