It seems that the national team is racing against time to turn the “World Cup dream” into a “nightmare.” He won the “full mark” by winning the four matches, and earning 12 full points, which moved him from fourth place to the top of the group.
The last loss came from Korea to deepen the wounds of “Al-Abyad”, and to prove that it has become an opportunity to improve the positions of others, with evidence that he lost from the leaders, Iranian and Korean, and gained only three points from his Arab competitors, so he ranked fifth before the last, with the end of the going stage that placed the two teams Iranian and Korean on the outskirts of Doha!
The strangest thing about the Emirates group is that the Iranian team leads it, despite the suffering of its players from not paying their dues, and that they are forced to wash their sports clothes and wear them again, because the financial conditions of their union do not allow the purchase of more than one sportswear set for each player, yet the players feel the responsibility and continue, with all The strength of their successful journey to the World Cup finals, so that they turned their loss against Lebanon with a goal until the 91st minute into an exciting victory in lost time, unlike the UAE team, which enjoys all the support, and has all the factors of success, and despite that, its players are masterful in angering their fans who lost confidence. In the return of “Al-Abyad” to its former glory, as if qualifying for the World Cup in Italy 1990 was only an exceptional moment that is difficult to repeat!

Two Arab teams, “Egypt and Morocco”, qualified for the final stage of the African qualifiers for the World Cup, as well as the teams of Senegal and Mali, awaiting the teams of Algeria and Tunisia, and all indications indicate that Egypt will be in the second classification, when the draw is made, and the Egyptians hope not to face Algeria, the African champion. Or Senegal, the runners-up, and they prefer to face Nigeria, noting that the recent confrontation of Angola cast a shadow of doubt among the Egyptian masses, as the team was far from the level it presented in the return match with Libya, and doubts about the coach’s choices and substitutions, Queiroz, were excluded. The four best players in the Egyptian League, Qafsha and Sherif before the Libya matches, and Tariq Hamed and Ahmed El-Sayed Zizou, before the matches of Angola and Gabon, and with them Ramadan Sobhi, who the team desperately needed after Omar Marmoush’s absence due to injury.
