Mahmoud, don't you know that Egyptians have this invisible "E" carved in their forehead that only people who have "vision" can see. The same for Lebanese, the have an "L" and Yemeni, they have a "Y" and so forth. I tried to bleach my husband's forehead to get rid of the "E" but it seems that it's still there. People with vision can spot him from a mile away. I know an African American man who people keep mistaking him for an Egyptian. I told him that the "B" for black on his forehead must be fading and must look like an "E" to those who have the vision.

Touche!
Maybe DD has a good grasp of languages and mannerisms? To the trained eye it's really not all that difficult. Off course just one glance is pushing it, but maybe when they talk etc it becomes clearer?

Way to show the board your miniscule football knowledge in one sentence.
Tom Jones wrote:Great match….!!..... A lot better than the dull friendly between England and Brazil which was being played the same time in Doha!!
Egypt barely made it in injury time, renewing its hopes for qualifying to the World Cup.
I bet the Algerian players were also pleased with the result!!!! They were met with hostilities since arriving to Egypt (people tossed rocks at their bus, injuring 3 players!). They had been intimated by the people and the media, and they looked scared!!
I think the Algerian players will play a lot better in Sudan on Wed, and may be the ones to advance -- although I, myself, would like see the Egyptians advance. They get too emotional about the game and would add some color to the tournament in South Africa!!!

Sound analogy....and in retrospect rather accurate as well.
Egypt never had any chance of beating Algeria in Sudan. The Algerians were on the offensive from the start, created more opportunities, in all honesty I expected more goals and solid drubbing by the Algerians.

And now we have Alaa Mubarak saying they should declare war on Algeria, presumably for having the galls to defeat Egypt; real uneducated way of thinking if you ask me
