    Didn't really get to see the keeper in action to assess him.

    Adam Levethal gives a different slant is his report in the Athletic. “Right after leaving Spain, he will go to his club,” said the SFF (Senegal Football Federation) source. “If his situation improves and we are lucky enough to go far (in the tournament), he might come. We’re still hopeful that this situation will improve quickly but that’s not obvious at all, but if it does so, he will return..........In such a situation (Senegal coach Aliou Cisse) will plan (for the tournament) without him. That’s the first plan and if ever he comes it will be an added bonus,” said the SFF official."

    The BBC report is inaccurate because it states that Sarr is currently in Spain working with a personal trainer. Sarr is actually visiting Dr. Ramon Cugat, the famous knee specialist and surgeon, who will now plan the next phase of his recovery.

    That is because his captain only allowed one shot on target

    He had More Salad firmly in his back pocket and he ended up looking like a bit of limp lettuce

    I wasn't impressed by Egypt after watching the full 90+

    Mo Salah so overrated in the Prem, without the other forwards doing all the hard work for him he looks League1 level

    If Salah is league 1 level, I wonder if our players are even conference! <laugh>
    What have you got against him?

    Nothing but in that game he got nothing out of Ekong who some Watford fans think is rubbish so it just proves what many others have said on other forums that without Mane and Firmino doing all the hard work for him he doesn't look that special, or maybe he just can't be bothered playing in that tournament

    Anyway we just have top enjoy when players who have scored against us struggle in other competitions

    Salah wasn’t up against Danny Rose which probably made a big difference!

    There seems to have been a lot of 0/0s so maybe the defences are that much better then the attackers !?

    TBF We did well v Spurs who had Kane and Son so it does show we can defend ourselves.

    Yes as I say they probably hope he is fit but in reality know he won’t be - certainly not match fit !

    A bit of a shambles?

    "Our debut match will be delayed because apparently the referee for the match between Mail and Tunisia made a mistake and played 89 minutes. The two teams were ordered to play five more minutes. However, they are still negotiating..."

    And there don't appear to be any spectators there anyway.

    The referee apparently blew at 85 mins then when instructed carried on but blew early again at 89! It's said that this ref has previously been done for bribery or similar some years ago!

    Can you imagine the odds Sir Alex Ferguson got with his Malaysian bookie that there would be “the opposite of Fergie Time”?

    Bit of a shambles that one.

    Also, in the Nigeria v Egytp game. Ball went out, corner given. Nigeria players go up, ref changes decision - goal kick. Keeper THROW it out for a counter attack. RAMDOM.

    No one said anything on the pitch. The commentators were as puzzled as I was.

    Sades of England v Argentina in 1998 when I think all our lads went forward and next minute Argentina are on the break!

    Cannot see the video - is it gym based or outside?

    i think that is the trouble - he is almost fit but the 2 parties disagree on how close.
