The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is going to be without one of soccer’s biggest stars, and Egypt supporters aren’t going to be particularly pleased with how the World Cup failure went down … and for good reason.
Senegal defeated Egypt in penalties on Tuesday in the second leg of their CAF qualifiers for the World Cup. Just as Senegal defeated Egypt in February to win the AFCON final, Sadio Mane buried the decisive penalty to send Senegal to Qatar.
But it was the penalty attempt from Mane’s Liverpool teammate Mo Salah that had plenty of fans taking issue. As Salah readied himself for his attempt from the spot, we could see dozens of green lasers pointed all around his face in an effort to blind and distract him. Salah would sky the penalty over the goal, and it was easy to understand why.
