That's a silly tweet. What he is insinuating is that only in that scenario can someone be called courageous. I think it is courageous to carry your team to a World Cup and give your all while nearly 100 million people back home are laying their hope on you, thats an immense pressure.

That's a silly tweet and not the one from Maddock?
I’m glad to see him in the World Cup. I’m just sick of the hype made about him on the BBC. You would have thought he was England’s hope of winning the World Cup with the coverage about.
Jonathan Pearce had a semi everytime he had the ball.

The one from Maddock may be melodramatic, but the one you posted is silly.
No, it's not, it's a perfectly normal reply to a silly tweet. He played for his country therefore that is courageous? Bonkers.
its completely unprecendented what this man has gone through. Oh wait, no. Its nothing of the sort, as it happens all the time.
He played unfit. It would have been far better for him if he says "feck off" and went on to complete rehabilitation for next season (which is very important for him to prove he didn't just have a freak season) but decided to risk it in the tournament. If the injury was aggravated and fecked up his next season, he would have been fecked.
A bit like your posts suggesting he was faking his injury in the final.
Footballers rush back from injuries all the time. And they are constantly one bad tackle/awkward fall away from season (or even career) ending injuries. Salah playing in the World Cup while not 100% fit is miles away from actual bravery.
Where did I say he was faking it? Remind me lad.
Bravery would have been picking himself up in the CL final and battling on with his team mates until the end.
A slightly harsh assessment. There is a good chance that this will be his only chance to play in a World Cup. Certainly worth risking a shoulder injury. It’s hardly like he’s playing with a fractured ankle or ligament damage. Anyway he only has one game left now anyway, he’ll be back preparing for another trophy less season soon enough.
I think you should write him a written apology.
I’ll get a petition for it if I have to, you know I’ll get the numbers!
Another player wouldn't simply have risked it, because it's not like he's playing for a team that's going to compete anyway.
I'm still United fan and will never support Liverpool for anything even if they have an Egyptian player, feck them, but Salah is a pure footballer, not provoking anyone, no haircuts, no tattoos, no stupid celebrations, just plays, scores and goes home. You hardly see these kind of players these days so I don't think he's worth hate or having fun of him. His only problem is he plays for Liverpool, which another great season in England and he'll leave and this problem will be done for.
If you get me 20 Caf signatures I'll apologise.
Irrelevant of whether it’s salah or not. If I was from a country that like Egypt hadn’t qualified for the World Cup in 35 years then I would 100% represent my country in it if I was carrying a shoulder injury even if there was no chance of winning it or not. I can’t believe anyone would feel any differently.
theres hardly much mocking the poor guy being injured. Its the Liverpool pity and over exagerration people object to
I'll be honest; the first words that came to mind after reading this post were 'thick' and 'cnut'.
But in an attempt to be civilised:
He plays for Egypt and was half fit. Not sure what else you expected.
I don't disagree but it shows him holding his responsibility for the country. He knows the team is rubbish without him and played earlier than he should. I won't say bravery, but sense of responsibility.
It's not going to be his last time playing in World Cup as by the next tournament he'll still be there and the number of the teams are going to increase to 48 including 9 African teams by the way.
Don't disagree about anything bad said about Liverpool in general, as I said, feck them. I'm only concerned about Salah.
I agree but I just feel if he played for United he wouldn't get a pass. I actually don't have anything bad to say about him just find the media to be a bunch of loons when it comes to Liverpool and protecting their stars.
I expected nothing but I'm just saying if Pogba, for example had gone off injured in a final and then showed up unfit and didn't make a difference in the World Cup he'd be getting tons of abuse.
I don't think it's United that's Pogba's problem with the press. It's mostly his price tag, haircut and life style in general that makes the media not forgiving him much. He's not responsible for his price tag and he's free to do what he want but that's the English media for you, they're usually garbage in their standards.
I agree. Can't see him scoring more than 20 next season, which is still a decent number for a winger. Defenders will be wiser to him and his form will wear off and stabilise at Roma levels.
That’s a BBC article. When did Salah own Egypt?
They always word things like that. Seems like people are looking for any reason to have a dig
It's common, but I find it odd every time!They always word things like that. Seems like people are looking for any reason to have a dig
Well Egypt owns nothing else of note, might as well make him the owner.
This thread is weird. United fans generally being very embarrassing
No, it's not. It's a dumb tweet, but the first tweet is overly dramatic.
Quote of the year.
That would have been selfish, glory hunting and stupid. Do you honestly think he could play with an injury like that at more than 20%?
Rooney came back early from injuries in 2 world cups. Was clearly unfit. Hell even fergie rushed Rooney back unfit to play against Bayern.
Difference is that Rooney was world class with multiple years of it and Salah has one. Let's see what happens next season when everyone knows Klopps tactics of winning the ball and countering relentlessy.

Tbf it's not many just the one usual suspect.
Dunno what's the fuss all about. He was chosen to represent his country in the World Cup, the dream for almost every professional football players. He has an injury but still could play so He played.
Nothing special about what He did. A lot of players could only dream to represent their countries in the World Cup and if His injury was really that bad, the medical team wouldn't have let him play. He's also had weeks of recovery after what happened in Kievtanbul, being taken care of by the best medical experts.

If you get embarrassed by threads on the internet by people you don't know I suggest you wrap yourself up in cotton wool and log off.
They are all equally deluded. Journos, fans etc.
Salah's had his Indian summer. I reckon he will not reach that level again. If he's genuinely going to remain class, he will score ~15 goals next season, but it will be nothing to rave about.
Commiserations for Egypt, but can't really bring myself to sympathize with an extraordinarily hyped Liverpool player getting knocked out of the WC in an appropriately nondescript fashion.
