Egyptian football pundit, Abdel Rahim Mohamed is said to have died after Egypt crashed out of the World Cup following 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia on Monday. He was reportedly rushed to hospital after suffering a heart attack when he was due to analyse Egypt’s 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia at the national TV HQ in Cairo.
According to Egypt Today, Rahim was reported to have become increasingly emotional watching the game at TV studios in Cairo. Egypt manager, Hector Cuper expressed his condolences in a post-match press conference, saying he hoped the team’s poor performance wasn’t to blame for the incident.
