As you say, Egypt are 29 in the world.

Iran were 20th in the world.

So by that metric, I mean, Egypt are actually further down the rankings than Iran.

But, yeah, I feel as though they met their expectations.

And in fact, a couple of them, in fact, most of them were quite disappointed they didn't win the game.

So there's been a real mind shift change in amongst the playing group.

I think they'll have to legislate specifically for Salah.

He is a genuine, as I said before, a genuine footballing superstar, so...

When he's on the ball, you know, you've just got to be right on your game.

Egypt will come out and attack, I think, a lot more than Iran did.

I think in many ways Iran were caught by surprise by New Zealand.

Egypt won't be.

But I think they'll try and get on the front foot early and really take it to us.

I get the feeling the first 15, 20 minutes or so will be quite crucial in this game.

But New Zealand will focus on what they can do, especially in possession.

How do they get...

the ball to Eli Just who got those two goals the other day how do they bring Chris Wood into the game how do they create set piece opportunities so yeah they'll be well aware of what Egypt are about but they're also very comfortable in their own playing style and how they execute that today

I think so, yeah.

He seems to be the main focal point, doesn't he?

And he was terrific the other day.
