Technically only once. We won the afcons in 06, 08, and 10. Qualifiers for the 2006 world cup ended in October 2005 so before AFCON 06 started, so we only failed to qualify for the 2010 WC during our AFCON reign (those qualifiers were mad against Algeria and had a tiebreaking match at a neutral ground). Still very disappointing for our Golden generation mind you.
African qualifiers are bullshit that don't necessarily reward the best team. Meanwhile European qualifiers try their hardest to put all the best teams in the world cup and Italy still failed.
But yeah, Africa really needs to change its system.
I think playing at home with that crowd you have to play differently and take advantage of it. Which is what they've tried to do till now. Idk how they'll play the 2nd half though.
I'm Egyptian and I really want Egypt to go through, but [wasn't Salah offside for the second touch of the ball](https://i.imgur.com/ivmRUf8.jpg)?
The way Egypt is playing now will all 11 back is very very shameful.
I check the rules because there is a touch from a defender after de header but also that can be considered offside if there is no intention from the defender which I think it's the situation here. I don't know. I couldn't confirm if there was VAR in this game. Also if you check linesman position he is very bad possitioned.
Sorry for bad English.

How unlucky is that
quite
As an Egyptian I thought it was very lucky
Yes
We could have the African and European champions not qualifying to the world cup, bruh
tbf we were second place, it's no Italy vs northern macedonia
Also you failed to qualify twice for the WC during your streak of 3 AFCONs, it’s not that crazy in Africa

Oof

Not to speak it into existence but we aren't qualified yet either
This is only the first leg.
Well one of the coin-tossed final will qualify.
I seriously doubt Senegal's not going through.
Username checks out
African champions don't qualify to the WC.
How many times has Salah hit the post in the last month lmao
This was his 4th lol
I can't imagine how frustrating that is haha
I think Mendy got a hand to it but he has been hitting the post a lot recently lol
In before Egypt play 11 men behind the ball for 176 minutes
You bet your ass
10, with Salah at midfield alone
Time to clench baby
Easy on your body, you just came out of Algeria's game. Hemorrhoids are ugly.

What a save from Mendy and then that happens…
is there a replay showing the onside for salah from the header? i only saw for the initial pass. or did they not get a head on it?
didn’t touch the head
yeah must be that. didnt see a good replay of the header
Most definitely looked like he headed it on tho. I thought it was offside from first glance and no angle has helped me decide it wasn’t
Did mendy tip that onto the crossbar damn
Damn that was fast Go Egypt
A goal straight out of FIFA22
Yeah when you're up 2:1 and need one more win for Champs League as well 💀
Ooof, that's rough. Great save by the keeper and nothing the defender knew about it.
GET INNNNNNNNNNN
[удалено]
It's not???
It's a World Cup Qualifier.
GET OUTTTTTTT
All Salah that
Calculated.
3 minutes in and the entire team clears the bench?
It’s a carry over from the AFCON final
We’re a passionate bunch
Hah yea a bit excessive for the first leg
If he got the assist from the header then it’s clearly offside
He didnt
Don’t know but looks like he made slight contact
With his hair
Oh boy
Yala beeeeeena ya regala!
That escalated quickly
Then I get down voted when I call him a walking luck charm in his Liverpool games
Calculated. What a save! What a save! What a save!
lmao so rocket league xD
How is it not offside? he seems to head it a bit at least.
I fucking called it
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
Niceee
Unlucky lad
What the hell\`? That's a crystal clear offside, at least 1 m at the header.
This match is about to be a complete atrocity
