FIFA World Cup 2018™: Mo Salah & Egypt's Route To Qualification

Despite The Pharaohs being the dominant force in African football for much of the past ten years, the World Cup™ had alluded them. They had come within one game of qualifying for the finals in 2010 and 2014, but politics, a revolution and a series of freak results had scuppered their chances.

A victory here at the magnificent Borg al Arab would have finally broken the curse. But a late equaliser from Congo silenced the crowd. Then, in the last seconds, Mohamed Salah won a penalty.

Finally, Egypt had made it, and Salah was elevated to almost mythical status. But the story of Egypt's qualification for Russia 2018™ doesn't begin here. It begins in Cairo, in 1989.
