As Egypt added another chapter to their historic run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup by advancing to the round of 16 after edging Australia on penalties 4-2, goalkeeper Mostafa Shoebir hailed the team’s determination.
“It was Egyptian grit, it’s something in our genetics, it’s something amazing. We fight until the end, and now we have written history,” said Shoebir, whose father Ahmed anchored the Egyptian net at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
