Ah good, 2 teams I know something about.
All eyes will be on Mo Salah ahead of this one. Nervous Liverpool fans, not to mention the entire country of Egypt will be focussed on his fitness heading into this big game. Even if he does play, it's hard to imagine he'll be fully fit, as he'll have had very little recovery time with it being just 3 weeks between his injury against Real Madrid and his first outing here.
To say they are a one man team is possibly understating it. Their current 28 man squad has 70 goals in it. Salah has 33 of them. If he isn't fit to play, they don't stand a chance.
But saying that, they are facing what I think is a Uruguay squad similarly powered by a world class striker. Yes, they have a solid defence in the likes of Godin and Cacerers, but without the magic of Suarez, they wouldn't be anywhere near as dangerous. Their hopes surely rest on him producing upfront, along with help from Cavani, who has disappointed every time I've seen him live.
You'd have to tip Uruguay to win this one, Salah or no Salah.
