Egypt Qualify For Russia 2018 World Cup Since 1990

Egypt qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2018 for the first time since 1990. An unforgettable moment was written in the history books as star player Mohammed Salah scored a penalty with 60 seconds remaining to secure a 2-1 win over Congo, guaranteeing a berth in Russia 2018 World Cup.

Keeping in mind the hopes of a country riding on him, Salah fires the ball into the net picking up a status of a national legend.

Indeed, even the match commentator couldn’t keep down his tears, such as the impact this moment had on the nation. Mo Salah rejected a gift of an extravagance villa, rather requesting that the funds be diverted to the hometown he grew up. An exemplary character on and off the pitch.

He also scored 39 Premier League goals in 36 games in 2017, beating the previous record held by Shearer, who netted 36 in 42 appearances for Blackburn Rovers in 1995.

Pep Guardiola ( The Record Breaker )

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side kept on setting a new record for most Premier League wins in succession – the count is currently at 18.

Yet, a significantly greater record was set when City beats Newcastle. The previous record was also set by a Pep Guardiola side, Bayern Munich in 2013-14 (18 wins, 2 draws), a record he has now broken with his ‘Shark Team’. You need to backpedal to 1987-88 and look outside of the top 5 European League to locate an opening 20 matches keeping pace with City’s, in the form of Guus Hiddink’s PSV Eindhoven.

To me, the greatest event is that Arsene Wenger did not make top 4 in EPL.

I also pray that they don't make qualify for champions League for a second season so the pressure will be much an he would be sacked
