European football

Hello every body

I know I am skipping some days, but this is the maximum free time I could get..

I am trying as much as possible to write every day, but sometimes it is impossible.. I want to apologize to anyone who is interested in my blog.

Now things are getting very busy as the season is almost finished, we only got the final match Friday, then my once a year vacation will start. It will only be for ten days, too bad I am committed to the TV program, other wise I would have gone to Belgium, as I am a Belgian citizen as well as Egyptian..

Let me tell you about this Belgian nationality.. I was playing in Belgium in club Brugge, I stayed there for five years, the law their allows any person who lived legally in the country for more than three years to apply for Belgian citizen ship… I did not say that any one who spends this time in Belgium can get it, a person has to be paying really high taxes, staying out of trouble, no traffic fines, no jail, no problems of any type..

So I got the nationality and so did my wife and kids.. normally this should help me if i want to play in Europe because clubs there are only allowed to use a limited number of non European players the Belgian passport excludes me from this number, meaning I should have more chances to play..

I now have two years more in my contract with AHLY club, so I don’t know if I will be able to go back to Europe .


Wish me luck

Hello Nader. This is the first time I take part in this blog and I have read all your diary as well as the comments. Personally I like your writing style but I think it is better if you could keep your promises. I mean that you probably forgot to show us your pics as you promised at the biginning of this blog. What a pity! I understand that you are now very busy but do not keep the promise could be interpreted as your bad attitude towards your fans. Just a small remark. Hope you do not mind. I'm in a hurry to know the result of your final match. Let us know it. Enjoy your vacation.

I greet all especially You Most Nader. How you judge. With my sentence Holland will win in Germany. What do you think? Perhaps you have one's own favourite? Tell us. I wish of successes and healths for all your families. Bye. Tomek from Poland

Argentina will be the final winner.

hai all, Thanks for the information from your description regarding belgium nationalities and regarding your holiday plans,iam new participant and yours description is the first of this kind iam reading. thanks.

I think Brazil has the best team but I have doubts if Brazil will be the winner of the cup. In my point of view our coach is not preparing the team as necessary. Between the european teams I prefer Portugal.

On the Friday night, Japan may beat Brazil.

Dear nader, all my best wishes to you, Mona and the kids! You know you are welcome anytime in Belgium and congratulations for your english! dries
