You know it was a pleasant night and I was getting ready for the Portugal - Bosnia match when all of a sudden I freakin hear people screaming all over the place. I bl**dy well though i was in the middle of a riot! So I run to the window only to realise it was the Egyptians celebrating all over the place, chanting, blaring horns, waving flags....Good Stuff!

Well Congrats and all the best in Sudan!

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?

Actually, there are different dialects, for lack of a better word, emphasis and pronunciation of a particular word or the use of a phrase, in the Arabic language of each individual Arabic country. So you would have to have a very very good grasp of the Arabic language as well as the nuances that would identify one's country when they speak.

My brother-in-law is Egyptian and is black as night as there is Sudanese in his ancestry. Looks more Sudanese than Egyptian in my opinion. But I'm sure that there are some people who could look at him and say that he was definitely Egyptian because................they have the "vision".

so if i support egypt i have miniscule football knowledge :D cool :D

algeria were lucky because there CENTER half scored that GOAL from a TIGHT corner. Its like asking your granny to shoot the ball from 2 yards with ben foster in goal. and if it still goes in, she is one lucky granny and thats what Algeria were on the night.

It was a close game but over the past year or so, egypt have been the better team. No disrespect to Algeria but I have never came across any of their players in the top flight English, Scottish and French or even Spanish league. Whereas Egypt had some of their players in Europe which means alot when it comes to experience. If they had a fully strong team, Algeria wouldnt have been a match at all.

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!!!


8) 8)


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. The goalkeepers form both sides more so the Egyptian side performed exceedingly well.

That said the passion of the Egyptian fans is absolutely amazing and SA will definately be duller without them. But ultimately if the team is not good enough there's nothing a fan can do.
The Egyptians need to become stronger and win more games outside Egypt. Every game cannot be a home game!

I dont get it; after Cairo match, many Egyptians were saying "so what if the Algerian players were stoned and injured by Eg fans, at least we won". I mean they must be really twisted to think that winning makes attacking other players ok....

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

The same match as you...Egypt were great in patches, but overall I felt Algeria created more chances and had the better opportunities. Just my opinion!

No? On Friday he made a very rare public statement calling for a "tough stance" to be taken against Algeria.
Besides I hear the Egyptian ambassador to Algeria has been recalled as well.....So it's safe for an outsider to presume that the matter is rather serious.

Egypt (and Algeria who won't make past the first round at the world cup for that matter) should just give up playing football because they are obviously crap at it.
Take up something else that you are good at instead of wasting time, money and emotional stress on a sport that you are never going to be any good at (apart from amongst your arab peers).
