Egypt came into this tournament never having won a World Cup match.
They got their first-ever win in the group stage, first-ever knockout win in the RO32 and took the defending champion Argentina to the brink in the RO16.
An all-time run for the Pharaohs ๐ช๐ฌ
๐ณ๐ดโค๏ธ While playing for the Norway national team, Erling Haaland made a special request to the federation: that they include the surname โBrautโ on his shirt. Thatโs why it reads Braut Haaland.
Braut is the maiden name of his mother, Marita, who was a professional athlete and a multiple-time Norwegian heptathlon champion.
Erling has always said that his love for football came from his father, a former Premier League footballer, but that his discipline and physical conditioning came from his mother, Marita. The perfect combination to create a footballing monster.
A beautiful tribute to his mum. ๐ซถ
