Mido Warning Egypt: The Belgium Match Was the Easiest
Former Zamalek star Ahmed Hossam Mido sparked significant controversy ahead of the Pharaohs' second match in the 2026 World Cup against New Zealand, scheduled for early tomorrow morning, Monday.
The Egyptian national team concluded its match against Belgium in the first round of the tournament with a 1-1 draw.
Mido said on his account on the "X" platform: "I didn't want to say this before our first match in the 2026 World Cup, but Egypt has already finished the easiest match in the group, which is the match against Belgium."
He continued: "Now we have to face two tougher and more aggressive teams. Players who are more patriotic than in the first match."
He continued, saying: "The key to the Pharaohs' qualification lies in winning the match against New Zealand, and any result other than a win will make our task of continuing the journey more difficult."
