🥅 ICYMI-

Hossam Hassan’s squad makes history: Egypt reached the round of 16 for the first time ever last Friday, beating Australia 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw through regular and extra time. Emam Ashour headed Egypt ahead in the 13th minute — his second goal of the tournament — before Mohamed Hany turned the ball into his own net in the 55th minute. It was Hany’s second own goal of the competition and the 13th of this World Cup overall — a new (and unfortunate) own-goal record.

The Pharaohs then converted all four of their penalties, with Mohamed Salah chipping his effort Panenka-style down the middle before Hossam Abdelmaguid slotted the decisive kick. Egypt now prepares to face defending champions Argentina in a match scheduled for Tuesday at 7pm Cairo time — and we’re holding prayer circles.

ALSO- Cape Verde impresses: Argentina needed extra time to get past a Cape Verde ensemble appearing at their first-ever World Cup, and eventually edging 3-2 on Friday to advance to the round of 16.

First quarterfinal bracket complete: Morocco swept past Canada 3-0 on Saturday evening, before France scraped through against Paraguay — Kylian Mbappé converting a penalty for the only goal in a match marked by physical confrontations and sustained tension throughout. The Atlas Lions and Les Bleus now set up a highly anticipated quarterfinal clash next Thursday.
