Pharaohs of Egypt vowed to deny Super Eagles the AFCON 2017 Group D sole ticket




After taking lead­ of Group D in the AFCON 2017 qualifier with their 3-0 home vic­tory over Tanzania, the Pharaohs of Egypt have vowed to deny the Super Eagles the group’s sole ticket.
The Egyptians while basking in the euphoria of their win said not even the presence of the Super Ea­gles in the group will stop them from getting to Ga­bon to be part of the tour­nament which they have won a record seven times.
It would be noted that Egypt have not been part of the last three editions of the tournament, a trend the players and their new Argentine coach, Hec­tor Cuper want to stop by qualifying for Gabon 2017.
Pharaohs’ defence strongman, Ramy Rabia told CAF’s said they want to stage a strong comeback to African football.
His words:”This game is history now. We have to start thinking of the next one. Egypt’s normal place is on top of the continent’s football. We missed a lot in recent times and now we have to get back to where we belong. I’m happy I scored but the win is much more important for me. Now we can think of our coming game in a positive mood.”
Cuper while thumbing up his boys over the bril­liant start to the qualifiers said he is happy the result gave Egyptians something to cheer about.
“I’m happy with the re­sult because it gives the Egyptian people some­thing to cheer about. My players played to our tac­tics and I’m satisfied with their performance,” he said.
Egypt will in their next game be away to Chad in September, while the Su­per Eagles hit Tanzania to keep a date with the Taifa Stars.

To be eloquent is to speak well in a persuasive and deeply thoughtful way. Though it appears to come easily, eloquence does not often come naturally. The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
