World Cup - part 3
Al Ahly has already participated in several World Cups. Always ending up in the semis, the Egyptians have already fallen to Internacional in 2006, Corinthians in 2012 and Bayern Munich in 2020.
World Cup - part 2
In the '99 World Cup, in another format, the alviverde faced Manchester United and was defeated 1-0, with a goal by Roy Keane. In another World Cup considered by many and contested by many, the "alviverde" (a Brazilian team) beat Juventus in the first round 1-0 and drew 2-2 in the second round, thus winning the controversial Rio Cup.
World Cup - part 1
In this new format Palmeiras played the World Cup only once, last year, when they were eliminated in the semis by Tigres, who scored with Gignac and won 1-0. In the penalty shootout, the alviverde lost the third place game to Al Ahly.
In the other semi
The other semi-final match of the World Cup takes place tomorrow at 12:30PM, when Chelsea faces Al-Hilal. To reach this stage Al-Hilal faced Al-Jazira and won by 6-1 last Sunday (6), thus making the biggest score in the history of the competition. Al-Jazira opened the scoring with Diaby's goal, and then Al-Hilal turned it around with goals from Ighalo, Matheus Pereira, Kanno, Al-Dawsari, Marega and Carrillo.
