5 reasons why Mohamed Salah will not win the Ballon d'Or in 2018

#4 The World Cup is here but Egypt's chances are negligible

Salah played a big hand in Egypt's qualification

One way Mohamed Salah could ensure that he wins the crown is by taking his team all the way in the World Cup. But having got through the qualifiers by the skin of their teeth, Salah will know that winning the World Cup is more of a fantasy at this point.

Egypt do not have as talented a side to boast like France, Brazil, Germany, Spain or Belgium. In fact, they are one of the weaker teams to have made it to Russia.

Mohamed Salah is a phenomenal player but there's only so much one can do. His plight is, in fact, similar to that of Messi's. Messi has Dybala, Higuain, Di Maria and Aguero playing by his side. Yet, he is not really given much of a chance to win the World Cup.
