now all eyes will be on the gyptian forward most who looks set to play today despite a scandal over his future in international football but i guess he has the story. mo is truly a superstar there is a reason they call him egypt's fourth pyramid inspires men these adored by millions. however. and rams i'm good dear of the president of chechnya is one of them chechnya is a place where sport physical fitness take pride of place no surprise then that got a hero's welcome on re citizenship dinners and a photo op that set the media on fire cnn's anonymous sources or in this case one source quickly reported that mo is considering quitting the egyptian team over it all we all know how reliable those sources of being in recent times but yet it is still attention grabbing enough to be cited by much of the western media so who do you believe is move considering quitting well how about the gyptian team itself who we contacted directly and i'm a come out of the can look to moscow to be part of my let me. let me you've got to . let me assure you. i don't want to see him in a second going to meet. yo

wanted the brigade to cross to the west and make its assault on that side of the canal which was under gyptian control. general ismail ordered that new forces that had already crossed to the east should cross back to the west. this he said was a political decision taken by president sadat himself. would back down until finally president sadat was asked to come to the egyptian main command center known as center ten to arbitrate on this dispute between the top two commanders of his armed forces. at least i told him mr president i disagree with general it's might. as soon as i said so he blew up in my face blew up in my face and shouted at me and kept saying don't ever mention with mr president this is not that was droll it's it's maneuvering with force is no maneuvering with forces and north through with one soldier has to withdraw i will have you court martialed if the word with no one is ever mentioned again to see things. such as decision was clear the next day seventeenth of october at zero seven hundred hours the twenty fifth armored brigade moved northwards to carry out his mission. a che

the final match of the first round of group fixtures sees poland face at some one goal and russian gyptian founds are gearing up for the clash between their national teams tonight it seems have already held training sessions and russia's northern counties so let the faceoff will take place in some pages but i'd stadium and every note that was built specially for the fee for tournament. amateur. is to be the second match for both russia and egypt at this world cup last thursday russians find no flashing of saudi arabia in the opening match electrified supporters across the country egypt had less luck in that game suffering to defeat at the hands of year ago i who scored in the ninety year minutes so this is how things look in group a right now or russia tops the group goal difference and today's match with egypt could prove decisive for the host nation a win that would pretty much guarantee russia a place in the playoffs. and there's the fans descend on some petersburg for tonight's clash we just want to put their knowledge to the test on some curious cultural overlaps. this thinks this pop

the battalion had stumbled on the forty kilometer wide undefended gap between the gyptian second and third armies. sharon was electrified and radioed headquarters for permission to implement his strategy. when sharon tells them. we have to cross the come up we have to arrive in their rear they tell him we cannot afford to do what you are suggesting because you are the only division which we got in that. you are the only one. between the enemy and tel aviv. what's more on october the ninth there was still two egyptian army divisions on the western side of the canal ready to counter any israeli crossing. sharon's plan was placed on hold until five days later when those two divisions suddenly crossed the canal and began their abortive advance deep into sinai. now the israeli plan could be activated the time had come to stout hearted man. but to pull it off the israelis would need to transport a curious mix of equipment to the water line. picked up in europe. second her khartoum birds. here before a war soar course and they're also picked up floating raps recognize roofs which karyotype

finally gyptian are surely so ecstatic that he's back in the team and hope that he can help his team get really far in this tournament. you know because i mean he's hugely popular and not just with egyptian fans but you know a lot of people are dying to see him plates but now a group b. also kicks off today and we have morocco facing iran and portugal facing spain how do you see these games what are your expectations how did turn out morocco and iran are kind of in a similar situation as russia and saudi arabia neither of them are really favorite to make it to the next round so if they want to keep the hopes alive they have to get a win from their first game and then there's portugal against spain which by might be the most exciting game on paper at least in the group phase of this world cup portugal is the reigning champion the reigning european champions sorry. and they come into this tournament trying to prove themselves again on an even bigger stage with christiane a rinaldo you know can he score goals can he get them really far in the tournament it will be really interesting to

russia gyptian means i'm gearing up for the clash between their national teams that will be tonight the teams have already held training sessions and russia has a capital a faceoff will take place at some stadium and arena that was built specifically for the. this will be the second match for both russia and egypt at this world cup. russia has five nil thrashing of saudi arabia in the opening match and electrified supporters all across the country egypt had less luck in the game suffering a defeat about hands of who scored in the ninetieth minute so this is how things look in group a right now. the group one goal difference and i think it's not to be chipped could prove to size so for the host nation a win would pretty much guarantee russia a place in the playoffs. and that's the found to be theirs but for tonight's clash we decided to put that knowledge to the test on some curious cultural of. the sphinx is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient egypt but this one is actually located here in st petersburg. the head of that game between russia and egypt we're going to go out and some
