Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of St. Mark See, congratulated the Egyptian people after the Egyptian team has qualified to the Football World Cup for its first World Cup appearance since 1990.
Egypt won the game with a 2-1 victory over winless Congo at Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria Sunday night. Mohamed Salah played a whale of a game for Egypt, scoring twice including a last-gasp penalty to send the Pharaohs to their first World Cup finals since 1990.
