Incredible Video Shows Ups And Downs Of Football From Egypts World Cup Qualification

Mohamed Salah is having a rather brilliant season for Liverpool but he's also helped Egypt qualify for the World Cup in the most dramatic way. An incredible video shows how quickly emotions change in football from the game that secured their place.

Isn't the World Cup wonderful. In just 116 days we'll be treated to real feast of football, okay probably 117 because day one just has Russia vs Saudi Arabia and there's not too many of us expecting that to be a worldie.

From day two we'll be treated with a couple of weeks of three games a day which will then become two as we reach the knockout stages and then the business end of the tournament hits.

One of the countries that will be there are Egypt. Perennial winners of the African Cup of Nations the north east African country haven't been to a World Cup since 1990.

Back in October the Egyptians needed a win to take them to Russia when they came up against Congo. Salah put his side up after an hour but with just three minutes to go Arnold Bouka Moutou made it 1-1.

This video shows just how distraught the Liverpool forward was until seven minutes later in the fourth minute of five minutes added on Salah won and scored a penalty, causing incredible scenes:

The celebrations to win the penalty might be a little bit over the top but it's incredible to watch Salah literally drag himself off the ground and minutes later have the composure to score such an important goal.

With the former Roma winger in their side Egypt will be a able to cause problems for all their opposition and fortunately for them they've been given a relatively easy group.

They face Uruguay in their first game before coming up against hosts Russia and finally Saudi Arabia.

Since moving from Serie A to the Premier League for €42 million last summer the 25 year old have been performing above even the most optimistic of fan's wildest dreams.

Salah has scored 22 goals in 26 Premier League games with another six goals in the Premier League too.

If he continues this form in the summer in Russia they'll be more of the celebrating and less of the crestfallen moments.
