Yesterday, I was watching an Egyptian satellite channel. Two so-called journalists were allegedly analysing the upcoming match between Egypt and Algeria. I was amazed at the obvious absence of professionalism and objectivity of these two individuals. Don't they know they are sowing the seeds of hatred between two peoples? They were asking questions to some persons in the street and they were saying unbelievable things about the Algerians. Do they really believe that Egyptian flags are being burnt in the Algerian streets????? COME ON!!!!
No Algerian would forget how the Egyptians backed the Algerian revolution against the French coloniser. The two peoples are united by Islam. How can a mere soccer match inbed so much hatred?
Please, you Egyptian and Algerian bros ans sisters regain your wisdom and take some distance from this match and remember what's essential behind this sport's event whatever its importance is.
That is just about the most ridiclous waste of life ever. Two Spanish speaking, Christian neighbours breaking into war over something as stupid as a football match? Complete madness.
I was watching tv this morning and I saw that the Algerian soccer players were aggressed by some Egyptian wild youth. They were injured and had blood all over their heads. Then, there were those scared soccer fans that were protected by the police frm a hysterical crowd. Are we still talking about soccer? Did they forget it's just a soccer game????
I truly expect the worst when the Egyptians will be officially eliminated from the competition. As ALL journalists say, "ALLAH YAHFIDH"
I didn't hear of that, but this is the sickness behind soccer matches "I am sorry to soccer lovers".
They fought each other over really stupid matters, The players of both teams enjoyed the match while the fans of them are fighting....what a logic!!!
Remind me of what happened between UAE team and Oman team a while ago. When Omani fans went to some Emarati's people cars and crushed them after a match or something like that......"I don't really remember what happened exactly" but it was something that was written in the local newspaper.
I have seen those videos and I saw blood on Algerian soccer player faces.
But, can anyone explain me why Egyptian police insisted that there were no injuries ?.
I am an egyptian living in egypt, and seriously I don't know who to believe, but our side of the story is that the algerian players were the ones who wrecked the bus that picked them up from the airport after leaving it, and kicked the **** out of the bus driver just because some kid threw a stone/pebble at the bus, but the authorities say that even though they did this they were received with a nice welcoming tour, they even prayed together at the amr bin al as mosque and at al hussein.

I am sorry if I used rude words in my post.
I just wondering, Egyptian police have predicted, maybe some Egyptian supporters will do something bad to Algerian soccer team, but why didn't they guarded Algerian team on their trip in Cairo ?. I didn't see any police in these videos.
Egysoccer, there were victims on from both sides of the conflict. Enraged soccer fans from both sides did many things which they shouldn't have. When a sports game goes this far, it just becomes haraam. InshAllah, may there be peace between Egypt and Algeria.
It's amazing how people can get so riled up over a game but are mute and don't even use half of that energy they use in fighting over football when their brothers and sisters are being murdered everyday. What a shame.
