Friendly: Egypt v Brazil (14 November 2011 - Doha, Qatar)

Boring match and poor half from Egypt. We are basically parking the bus and can't get 4 passes in a row when attacking. Our defense isn't that great either. They were sleeping when Brazil scored.

Elmo needs to come off and put in Zaki instead of Zidan. We are missing that attacking attractive play that we usually play with. Aboutreka should have been called up. Shika is doing alright when he gets the ball, but he isn't getting it enough. Al Shanawi is doing good in goal; the next El Hadary.

Seems Bob has implemented his style already.

Zidan and Ghaly off
Soliman and Salah in

Fire the goalkeeper.

Fire Hernanes.

Al Shanawi

2-0

I would be interested how some dude I really never heard of before gets to wear the #9 for Brazil? It must be very nice.

El Gabbas comes on for Metab. He hasn't played for Egypt since 2009.

Hulk is such a moaner.

Who is wearing the number 9 for Brazil?

Jonas.

Valencia striker.

Wow.. is it bad that I've never heard of him?

Signed from Gremio this season, so I guess not.

Bob will have those Egyptians perfecting his winning style soon enough.

He better. One of the cons about Egypt is that they played attractive football and didn't get the results. It seems clear Bob has a more defensive approach, so we need to get results. Otherwise...






































Fire Bob Bradley!!

FT: 2-0

At least we didn't do worse than Gabon. Really boring match though. Two silly goals for Brazil. If I wasn't Egyptian, I would have turned off the TV at halftime.

What happened to Gabon?

Ban.

Lost 2-0 to Brazil a few days ago.

This game already happened? Fuck.

Just a few minutes ago I was driving with the homeboys and I mentioned this game because of Bob Bradly's debut. I mentioned that he was really close to signing with Santos Laguna but the deal fell through for whatever reason.

Someone in the back said, "he probably doesn't speak Spanish very well" and I was like, "you dumb fuck, you think his Egyptian or whatever they speak over there is any better?"

/cool story.

It's Arabic by the way.

Arabic. Of course. I'm such a fucking moron.

Not sure how that completely flew over my head.

Jonas was top scorer in Brazil last season...or was it the season before that?


No, it was last season.

You talking to yourself again, Gordon?

Yes. It's a habit I need to quit.

I'll hear none of that Gordon. What you are doing is "not talking to yourself." It's introspection.

A man that does not contemplate one's self is not aware of one's self.

Jonas > Borges

Poor/boring game all round, Brazil were good defensively but didn't have to defend much.

At least Dudu looked promising
