Egypt in Confed Group of Death

Date: 22-11-2008
Wrote: EP's editor Islam Issa

The draw for the final qualifying phase for World Cup 2010 has been made. The Pharaohs avoided Morocco and Tunisia and got Algeria, Rwanda and Zambia. This will surely boost the Pharaohs chances of reaching South Africa 2010.




Egypt have been drawn with the last two World Cup winners, Italy and Brazil, as well as the USA.

The 2009 Confederations Cup draw looks obscurely unfair!

While Group A looked weaker than an average African Cup of Nations group, Egypt's group is too competitive to even be a World Cup group!

South Africa, Iraq and New Zeland (none of which have reached the last World Cups or look like reaching the next) are drawn with Spain in Group A. Only Spain looks a world class force here.


Egypt are with the USA (who have reached the World Cup 2nd round many times in a row) and are a good footballing force, as well as Brazil and Italy!

It will be a good test for Egypt against strong opposition, though having placing them in place of any Group A team would probably see them qualify to the semi-final of the competition with relative ease!
