Congratulations to Adam El-Abd

[hans kraay fan club]

Excellent news for Adam who will only improve the team.

Does this mean we may rue his loss in the next African Nations cup.

Probably. Arse.

Assuming he doesn't speak any Egyptian it will be fun in the dressing room. At least he will understand the manager!!!

Egypt national football team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fair number playing at home. I wonder how top flight Egyptian teams compare to a pyramid-table Championship team?

I don't believe he speaks Egyptian, however lucky for us many parts of the world speak okay blightly.

Looks like he'll be playing in front of no one if he does make the first World Cup qualifier...

I was just thinking the same, the African Cup of Nations is EVERY year aswell I think.

Normally every TWO years, athough playing 2012 AND 2013 to switch it to odd years.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

We've got a Egyptian International! Fantastic achievement for him.

 

[Brixtaan]

Well done Adam, f*** England I'm jumping on the Egypt bandwagon and can't wait to see him manhandle superstars on the world stage.
Hope he looks after himself though. If they have to Khartoum off with an injury I'll be furious.

I used to adore girls like her....it was a fez I was going through.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Isn't that a Moroccan thing?

It did originate in Morocco ,the Egyptian army also wore it up untill 1950

If he injures his back he'll need a Cairo-practor.

Slightly less tenuous in that his father is Egyptian as opposed to a grandmother.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

His Twitter follower count has internationally skyrocketed! Good old Adam; and we're now worried about the African Cup of Nations buggering up our team! HOW FAR HAVE WE COME!!

There was an interview with AEA in an Egyptian football mag a few years back (It's on NSC somewhere) where he said that he'd very happy to play for Egypt, he was proud of his Egyptian roots and said that he spoke some Arabic.
