Congratulations to Adam El-Abd

[Barrel of Fun]

I wonder if any of his new team mates will call him 'bomber'?

Not at all.

The Cameroon player who tried (unsuccessfully) to take him out got crocked. But there was no foul.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

1-1 (penalty)

At least the pen wasn't down to el abd-

Doesn't look at all out of place and if he can develop an understanding with his teammates I reckon he could be in line for more caps. When is the Cup of Nations? We might need cover!

 

[We're the Stripes]

Penalty to Egypt. Love this ref.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

2-1 (pen to Egypt)

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The Cameroon goalkeeper has a stylish way of throwing the ball upfield.

It can't be easy, not speaking a word of the language.

Adam El-Abd looks like he's been an Egyptian international for years! Solid at the back and has much needed leadership qualities


Great debut!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

He has made the Egypt number 20 shirt his own.....

Can't fault that debut. He'll get more caps.

@egyptFt

might be worth following now Adam is a full blown Egyptian international

 

[The Rattler]

I think I got the news mixed up - I heard al-Megrahi was dead and my first thought was Adam and a team-mate had gone for the same ball and the other guy had (naturally) come out worse.

I think, as one of his parents (father?) is Egyptian, he's fluent in Arabic.
