Good luck Adam El-Abd

[The Large One]

Start this afternoon for Egypt against Guinea.

3pm kick-off (I think).

No idea where there's a live stream.

The game is being played at a stadium in Hurghada behind closed doors.

I'm trying to get my head round the possibility, however unlikely, of Adam El Abd marking Neymar or Messi at the World Cup. And failing.

Good luck to him though, heading for a tough play-off it seems.

It will be 35c, a bit different from the Amex..

Oh dear.

El-Abd has just scored an own goal, knocking it past the keeper just before he gathered it.

I don't understand Arabic, but the commentators are mentioning El-Abd's name a lot,followed by 'Angleze'...

 

[Cullip4]

England-based defender Adam El-Abd, who makes a rare start, astonishingly puts the ball into his own net while trying to clear a tame pass on a poor pitch in Gouna.

Oops!

Oh Adam...

 

[The Large One]

Shades of the balls-ups he was famed for about six years ago.

Why are our defenders so reluctant to play the opposition offside? If he'd stepped up (like the rest of his defenders), the player the ball was being passed to was offside.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

oh biscuits

 

[Mellotron]

Ah, that's incredibly harsh. Massive bobble on the pitch. Hope he still makes the WC.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Hahahaha

(to be fair, that is one HELL of a bad bobble!)

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

LOL

 

[Thunder Bolt]

32 Mohamed Salah times his run to perfection to latch onto a long ball but the referee whistles for offside. Television replays shows the Basel man was actually onside.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Egypt have equalised; apparently El Abd blocked a defender from closing down the shot

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Hope they win so he can see the funny side, poor Adam.

2-1 up now, penalty scored and Guinea's player sent off for deliberate handball.
