Egypt returns to the World Cup action for the first time since 1990 on Friday. The date coincides with Eid al-Fitr , marking the end of Ramadan. People get together at roadside cafes to watch the game opener. With absence of team leader Mohammed Salah, Egypt unfortunately lost 1-0 to Uraguay with a 89 minute header. Yet Egyptian audiences are joyful to watch the games.
