#3 Egypt - Mohamed Salah
Egypt reached the World Cup for the first time in 28 years after a relatively quiet qualifying campaign. The Pharaohs finished on top of their qualifying group, thanks to Mo Salah's brilliance.
The 25-year-old forward has been in sensational form over the last 12 months for his club and country as he finished as the top scorer in the CAF World Cup Qualification campaign with 5 goals. He has transformed into a completely different player as compared to the one we saw in Chelsea a few years ago.
They are scheduled to play Russia, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia in the group stage and their success rests a lot on the shoulders of Mohamed Salah. With 17 goals already this season for Liverpool, he will be the key player for Hector Cuper.
