Last Night’s Talk Shows: A punishing loss to Ethiopia for the Pharaohs

It was a slow day on the talk shows front, with the Pharaohs’ devastating 2-0 loss to Ethiopia and debate on whether coach Ehab Galal should get the boot dominating the airwaves.

No new coach — yet: The Egyptian Football Association released a statement to clarify that coach Galal has not gotten the boot — though the EFA is assessing other coaches CV’s “in case of any circumstances that could arise in the next few days” before it takes a final decision. (EFA) head Gamal Allam had seemed to suggest Galal was on the way out in an earlier interview with Ahmed Moussa’s Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 5:16). Kelma Akhira’s Lamees El Hadidi (watch, runtime: 0:24) also covered the football crisis.

AND A FACT CHECK- There have been no price hikes for household natgas, Oil Ministry spokesman Hamdy Abdel Aziz told El Hekaya (watch, runtime: 7:21), denying reports on social media that prices had increased for natural gas piped into homes. “All news on price increases are unfounded,” Abdel Aziz said, adding that there has been no change in prices since January.
