Picture Perfect: Sami Allagui Befriending Some Eagles

November 4th, 2008 | By: Rami | 14 Comments »

Besides the semi inebriated lazy eye looking Haggui, these pictures are quite comforting.

Still waiting to see if the German NT or Olympic squad try to tempt Allagui before we snatch him up for good on November 19th.

The Bundesliga 2 leading scorer is certain to figure in Humberto Coelho’s preliminary list of callups tomorrow.

Speaking of the Benin friendly, Tamim from Egypt WCB is reporting that the Pharaohs have scheduled a game against the very same team on the very same day. I wonder how Benin plans on pulling that one off… Plus our federation is doing a bang up job as usual (thanks fellas!).

Not sure what the fuss is all about? Check the video after the jump.

the picture of the players isn’t comforting at all, there are alcholic drinks on the table (i guess) and the accessories the players are wearing very strange;of course it is a personal freedom but i mean one of the main reasons we won 2 african cups was the players’ faith and commitment to religion.

i will never forget how ahmed fathi told his colleagues to sjood to thank allah after he scored the first against cote d’ivoire.

personally, i think some of your players need to work on this part if they want to win anything.

cheers,

I respect your opinion Tamim but there’s different social and cultural norms in each country. There’s plenty of players that drink alcohol and play just fine (I’m talking European countries). It’s a question of discipline and commitment to your health. If you can strike a balance between the party life and work (in this case football) then the rest is your personal decision I think. Religion doesn’t win you soccer matches I’m afraid. It can lead to hygienic lifestyle which ultimately helps any athlete but even athletes who don’t follow their religions strictly can live in such a way too. Plus let them dress however they want its their personal choice.

Thanks Rami,
I guess he is at the edge, not as firm as I thought he’d be. He’s got too much work to do. Don’t know if coelho has enough time to get him straight.
* He loses the ball most of time when one on one and traight in front the cage. I guess we have plenty of that already. Enough blood pressure:)
In conclusion competition in between the players will be the key for sure.

Here we go again! Tamim take it easy on the religion question. Are you suggesting Egypt has won because the players are religious, or more so than their Tunisian counterparts? How do you then explain Ahly losing to Etoile 3-1 in front of 80,000 spectators (including your president) last year? Was Chermiti more religious than Abou Treka that day? I totally disagree with you and could not agree more with Rami’s comments. But, that’s why Tunisia and Egypt are quite different!

Well, in regards to behaving outside the field it just a matter of the individual’s concern. That been said not for the first time -as Rami mentionned- some player can make it even if they tend to smoke,drink Ex: Paul Gascoigne. I just don’t want to go off topic. With all due respect, I guess we better keep this blog mainly to discuss prime sports related topics to the Tunisian Football, the rest can be mentionned in another social behavioral gossip forum / blog. Thank all. Thanks Rami for the invitation

Tamim

I can tell you I look the same when I have spent a night going out. I Assure you that I did and never took one drop of Alcohol. Tamim therefore I can say it is also Haram to think bad about your brothers without knowing any details or talk bad about others!!

It is clear that alcohol is HARAM in our religion. Our grandfathers (who invented alkohool) used it intensively and is probably one of the reasons why it is haram now. Everything that is harming your body is haram.

However I do agree with Tamim that religion makes you stronger. I find it surprising why we immediately compare our selves with Europe. If we would spend as much as time to explore and understand our religion we would not have these stupid discussions with each other in a football blog section!!

I can also say that Elnejm won because they were better and they DID not had TAKABBOR like al ahly. ANOTHER topic that is not acceptable in our religion TAMIM.

Again nobody is perfect but we should always thrive to grow and become better using our spiritual strength. Also guide and advise our players in a friendly way why they should avoid going out and drinking alchol if they want to become big professional players, and not end like gasgoine.

In Europe I can tell you having a Medical Degree that 90% of the TOP athletes do not drink alcohol to a certain extend. Alcohol should be banned in sport because it damages the brain cells and all other vital organs.

Rami, my brother Religion is a way of life it is more than hygiene. Religion means: focus, determination, concentration and fearing no one than your lord. I would say from psychological point of view in football it is a necessity.

I hope that our players start thinking professional and avoid anything that might damage their career inshallah.

I would like to end by agreeing with PastaMan let’s stick to football!!

greeetzzz all wou rabbi yihdina el kol including almsara LOL

Tunisia will be playing Ghana instead of Benin, but will be played in Accra. Allagui has been called up by Coelho but wont get into the list, because maybe Rami might be posting something soon on it.
