Egypt beats Uganda 1-0

We are one step closer to finally making it back to the World Cup: The Pharaohs did us proud last night folks, with Mohamed Salah (who else, really) scoring the sole goal of the fourth round match of the World Cup qualifiers against Uganda. And we really needed that goal too, as a loss would have tacked on another four years to our streak of failing to make it to the World Cup — a streak that has been going strong for as long as the Soviet Union has been dead. Salah has been receiving much of the credit for the victory in the foreign press, which we believe is much deserved. With some breathing room, the surest path for Egypt to reach the World Cup is to beat Congo and Nigeria. You can view highlights from the match here (runtime 13:47) or just watch the winning goal (runtime 0:30).
