AFCON 2023: Mohamed Salah's Egypt heritage is on the line
Mohamed Salah has left the Egypt camp in the Ivory Coast to undergo rehabilitation in Liverpool for a muscle injury sustained during a match against Ghana. Jurgen Klopp, his manager at Liverpool, is open to Salah's return if he recovers before the final and Egypt qualifies. The Egyptian FA hopes Salah can rejoin the team for the semi-finals. Public perception of Salah's loyalty may be affected by whether he returns and the team's performance in his absence.

Iran defeated Wales in a big game with major ramifications for Group B
The article discusses Iran's national football team's prospects in the World Cup under the management of Carlos Queiroz. Queiroz, with a history at Manchester United and Real Madrid, has returned to coach Iran for his fourth World Cup. The team's style is described as defensive with a hardworking midfield. The goalkeeper, Alireza Beiranvand, has a notable story and holds a record for the longest throw in a football match. Iran's strengths lie in their tactical discipline and attacking unit, while weaknesses include injuries and a lack of leadership. The article also touches on the cultural significance of the team in Iran, especially in light of recent social turmoil and protests. The expectations in Iran are high, with a particular focus on defeating the United States in their group match, which is seen as more than just a game due to the political tensions between the two countries.
