A knee injury of the worst kind for El Limby
119 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wadi Degla lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match18 Aug 2035
A hiding for Wadi Degla
Beaten 0‑6 by Zamalek, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

A fracture rules Ali Hussein out for 106 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wadi Degla will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

A one-man rearguard from Trezeguet Trezeguet
There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The boos come down from three sides
“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 33 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.
Match18 Aug 2035
The wait goes on for Wadi Degla
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Mees Kaandorp in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wadi Degla this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match18 Aug 2035
6 goals as Wadi Degla and Zamalek go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Wadi Degla and Zamalek, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.
Boardroom20 Aug 2035
Graduation day at Wadi Degla
10 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
