Egypt’s participation in the 2018 World Cup is also getting a lot of attention in the foreign press. The Associated Press says the team looks “wobbly” ahead of its first warm up games with Portugal and Greece in Zurich, as players seem to be struggling with “Siberia-like” weather, according to The National. Liverpool star Mohamed Salah also got his share of international coverage, with Asharq Al Awsat’s Mashari Althaydi describing him as a “phenomenon” and The Sun noting he may soon not be the only Egyptian in Liverpool, as the club looks to bag Stoke winger Ramadan Sobhi.
