An Egyptian football pundit died after watching his nation slump to their third consecutive World Cup defeat in Russia.

Abdel Rahim Mohamed was due to analyse Egypt's 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia but was rushed to hospital after suffering a heart attack.

It was reported he had become increasingly emotional watching the game at TV studios in Cairo.

Egypt were dispatched from the tournament without a single point after Salem Al-Dawsari scored a 94th minute winner for the Saudis.

Egypt Today reported that Mohamed was taken to hospital by his son after the defeat where he was pronounced dead.

Hector Cuper, Egypt's coach, expressed his condolences in a press conference after the match hoping that the loss is not the reason Mohamed passed away.

Former goalkeeper Ahmed Fawzi said his colleague Mohamed — who used to coach Egyptian club side Zamalek — was emotional during the match and looked 'exhausted', according to local reports.

Egypt coach Hector Cuper told a press conference that he hoped his side's sub-par performance was not to blame for Mohamed's passing

The Group A clash between Saudi Arabia and Egypt was billed as a dead rubber as both sides were already eliminated courtesy of defeats to Uruguay and hosts Russia.

Liverpool's Mo Salah had given The Pharaohs something to cheer about when he opened the scoring on 22 minutes however.

They had even more reason to smile when Essam El Hadary — who became the oldest player to feature at a World Cup aged 45 — saved a first half penalty from Fahad Al-Muwallad.

But he was later beaten from the spot by Salman Al-Faraj to send the sides in level at the break.

Deep into injury time, Al-Dawsari struck a deserved late winner to end Saudi Arabia's tournament on a high note.

na wa ooo

see wetin this football cause

Kpele
RIP

Ha na waoo


that is why I didn't watch this Argentina match, I can't come and kill myself oooo, but my ear long to hear shout of a 'goaallllll' from outside.

He killed himself.

I made page zero. Today is a good day

I knooooooow Nigeria go win against Argentina!

what will he tell God now.

Aguero is next

Passion for the Game

Na serious waaa oo. But how Sallah sef take manage all through the 3 matches without a single point?

Abegii
The man won die before

Say what Die hard fan. Rest in peace
I pray we shouldn't loose anyone today after 90 mins.

Am already retiring to my bed mbok. What am seeing here... I don't want to hear the story that touches the heart.

Are you serious

Football is not a united sport as claim.One can vent his anger on innocent bystander if his favorite team is losing.There should be a precaution to fans who are hypertensive to stay away from soccer.

Weda they win that match or not, they still won't qualify. So why the heart attack?

Egypt was just missing chances. Enough reason for heart attack.

Death why

Cause of death: Myocardial Infarction secondary to severe emotional stress. It's sad when heart disease diagnosis are made post-mortem.

Moral of the story: if you have a "known" heart condition, avoid or limit events, situations that will induce extreme emotional stress of any kind as it makes extreme demands to the heart vasculature.


If you know you know.

If you don't know, now you know.

Truth is: many other die hard soccer fans (w/ heart disease) are dropping dead by the minute by this FIFA WC craze.

Nawa o, I just hope someone will not die of heart attack today aswell in Nigeria. That's why I told you people, Make u eat before watching the game, And take away ur mind from Nigeria winning. Afterall, 1naira no go enter my pocket if them enter 2nd round. so, why the fuss.

Him just feel like dying

and one idiot will come here to say football is an entertainment game

Lols..Salah why?

way too far

This can't happen to Nigerian because this is a fake country call Nigeria.

I can't die for a messed up country like nigeria. God forbid. Even the abookis who running the cesspit can't die for nigeria na me go come die? I dey craze?

I have given Rohr and NFF all my advice. When they implemented 75% of my advise they won. They brought in 'Ighaloafer' against my advice, benched Ebuehi, they lost.

Anybody that die for nigeria is surely going to hell. You can't die for bloodthirsty nigeria that sponsors genocide against it's own people and expect to make heaven.

I learnt liar Mohammed was gearing up to capitalize on a Nigeria's win in order to distract the world from the fulani-sponsored carnage going on against Christians in the middle belt. Karma denied him that and I am happy.

At least all the hype about Mo Salah don end.
