I asked him if our national team would be able to reach the World Cup finals. This was not what the players wanted, and that to reach the World Cup must be part of the Egyptian entitlements not based on dreams and wishes, but on reality that can make it. It is surprising that the victory of the national team and its qualify for the World Cup came at the time of our annual celebration of the October 1973 War without realizing our great lessons. Cuper and his team came back to the point where we can manage our potentials, and not our dreams, to make achievable goals. It was the honorable loss on the place that no one imagined, just as it happened after that until they reached the World Cup.
