The airwaves were still blessedly quiet last night with most of our talk show hosts still on break. A few of them might also be in Russia, as we’re hearing that Lamees Al Hadidi is there to cover the World Cup.

Speaking of which, Egypt’s 3-1 defeat against Russia yesterday was the one thing occupying the brain of Yahdoth fi Misr’s Sherif Amer, who hosted retired footballer Hossam Hassan for his take on the game. Hassan blamed national team coach Hector Cuper for the defeat (watch, runtime: 4:23) and later tried to console fans by telling them to count their blessings that Egypt made it to the tournament in the first place (watch, runtime: 0:22).

Anyone feeling any better? Didn’t think so.
