Indian Football Stars Optimistic Ahead Of World Cup, Asian Cup Qualifiers. Indian football team stars, including skipper Sunil Chhetri, on Wednesday expressed confidence of doing well in the joint 2022 World Cup and 2023 Asian Cup Qualifiers next month, despite their preparations not being ideal owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. (More Football News) India are scheduled to play Asian champions Qatar on June 3, Bangladesh on June 7, and Afghanistan on June 15, with all three matches to be played at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha. The team is currently stationed in the Qatari capital, preparing for the task ahead. "We are making the most of the circumstances," Chhetri said during a video conference organised by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). Top defender Sandesh Jhingan added, "The confidence in the squad is high. We have done it earlier and there's no reason why we can't do it again. We have grown as a team and we need to take it forward together." Goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu said, "We understand that the preparations have not been ideal but we are confident in our abilities as a team. We are not scared, and moving into the qualifiers, that's important." AIFF President Praful Patel contacted with the senior members of the team to get a feel of their preparations ahead of the FIFA World Cup and AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers. The president encouraged the players to stay fit and wished them luck. "More power to all of you. I wish all of you good health and strength. We are extremely proud of you," Patel said. "We spoke to the Qatar government and we were lucky that they didn't insist on the 10-day quarantine, and that has allowed the squad to assemble in Doha and begin our training sessions," the president said. The Indian team, fourth in Group E with three points, is out of contention for a World Cup berth but is still in the reckoning for the 2023 Asian Cup in China. "This has been a terrible time. We have not had any normalcy as such. The format of the leagues was also different -- all played from inside the bubble. I understand and appreciate the concern of Igor and the entire team arising out of the difficult circumstances," Patel stated. Head coach Igor Stimac thanked the president for helping the squad arrive early in Doha. "We are thankful to you Mr. President and all in the AIFF for providing us the opportunity to come earlier, and also taking our cause with the Government of Qatar and arranging for us to train even during quarantine," Stimac said. Apprising the president about the daily schedule of the squad, the coach added: "The expectations are high but realistically the situation hasn't been ideal." Muslim Brotherhood planned assassination attempts against Sisi, claims Ahmed Moussa. Journalist Ahmed Moussa on Monday announced that for the first time he would delve further into discussing planned assassination attempts against President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi by the Muslim Brotherhood. During the “On My Responsibility” program on the Sada al-Balad channel Moussa said that these attempts will be covered in the final episodes of the “Al-Ikhtiyar 2” (The Choice 2) drama. The Muslim Brotherhood organization had drawn up dozens of plans to assassinate Sisi, he said, which had not been publicly announced until now. He explained that they were trained to use the DShK machine gun to carry out the assassination in Sudan. The moment the presidential plane would take off from Cairo airport, a shell would have been fired at it, he added. The incident was planned to be shown in a live broadcast from Turkey by the terrorist organization, which is operated from Ankara. Accoridng to Moussa, it was the killing of police officer Maged Abdel Razek which thwarted the plans to assassinate Sisi. He added that the terrorist group which was intending to carry out the operation was eliminated. Other plans to assassinate the president include attempts to booby-trap planes in Cairo International Stadium during Egypt’s organization of the Africa Cup of Nations two years ago. Cyprus. The Republic of Cyprus ( Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία / Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti ) is an island nation situated in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with Turkey located to the north of the island, and Syria and Lebanon located to the east. Originally a British crown colony, the country became members of FIFA in 1948 before becoming members of UEFA in 1962, two years after achieving their independence. Cyprus would play Israel in both their first international game (a 3-1 defeat in 1949), and their first game as an independent nation (drawing 1-1 in 1960). Traditionally one of the weaker nations within UEFA, the Cypriots have yet to qualify for either a World Cup or European Championships. It’s not since the turn of the millennium when their fortunes in international football have improved, with the country achieving many impressive results – the most well-known being a 5-2 defeat of the Republic of Ireland the Euro 2008 qualifiers. Inspired by the amazing achievements of their domestic clubs in European competitions, especially APOEL who reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the 2011-12 season, the Cypriots have produced some formidable sides recently which are capable of defeating any team in Europe on their day, and are always considered a tricky side to overcome. Currently Cyprus are a third-tier ranked side within the UEFA Nations League, but after finishing bottom of their group with Montenegro, Luxembourg and Azerbaijan, they must play a two-legged playoff against Estonia in Spring 2022 to avoid relegation to the bottom tier of European football. In the draw for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Cyprus were considered the second-best side in ‘ Pot 5 ’ of the European draw, and were subsequently placed in a favourable-looking group alongside Croatia, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Malta. The islanders have started off well by having earnt themselves four points from their first three group games. Talking about one of Europe’s more difficult sides to face who are currently fighting to continue to compete in Division C of the UEFA Nations League, we interviewed the excellent John Leonidou . He is a very talented Cypriot sports writer who is the official football correspondent on Cypriot football for UEFA.com, UEFA’s official website.

Who would you say is your country’s best player and coach/manager of all-time, and the reasonings behind the choices? With regards to players and in terms of success and records, I would probably have to say former striker Michalis Konstantinou (1993-2013). He was once a record signing in Greece (switching between hated rivals Panathinaikos to Olympiakos) and had huge trophy success there. He also scored some big goals in the UEFA Champions League for both Panathinaikos and Olympiakos. He is still Cyprus’ all-time leading scorer with 32 goals. Other notable mentions include fellow forwards Yiannis Okkas , Sotiris Kaiafas , and Andreas Stylianou . In terms of managers, it’s difficult to pinpoint an outright best manager because being Cyprus, results under even the most successful of the island’s managers have included impressive wins and big losses. Going by the most impressive results, I think Greek boss Angelos Anastasiades (2004- 2011) tops the list. His most standout results include wins over the Republic of Ireland (5-2), Wales (3-1), and Bulgaria (4-1), as well as eye- catching draws against Germany (1-1) at home, Republic of Ireland (1-1) away, and Portugal (4-4) away. Andreas Michaelides (1991-1996) is credited with improving Cyprus’ performances during the early nineties. Q. Who could be regarded as a ‘cult hero’ in terms of the national team both in the past and present? That’s a tough one. Cyprus has never really had a standout cult hero but if I have to choose one then I feel speedy winger Stathis Aloneftis (2005- 2017) would be the one. With his long wavy hair, extensive tattoos and beard, he looked more like a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers than a professional footballer. One thing that was never in doubt was his talent.
