we have mostly egyptian players, some old some young but not like al itihad

only a buch of non egyptians in there, most the NT infact play for them, but the problem is, if a EU club wants them al ahly is too rich to need to sell so they dont and they never improve.

WOW, great news. Didn't think this would actually go through!

Too bad I won't be back home till August :mad: .

Should be a great entertaining match though in the true spirit of both clubs :) .

And RESPECT to Barca. Big time. Because this doesn't seem to be a marketing ploy or anything, they just seem to be supporting football around the world which is very respectable IMO.

I always wonder about these mid-season friendlies but I guess this gives Barca something to do while the Champions league semi finals are taking place.
