Egypt vs Algeria


dee7o Did anyone watch that match? I am Egyptian and I must have had 10 minor heart attacks during those 90 minutes.
Misery Called Life I think I had a couple of heart attacks after the 90 minutes! 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! dee7o
Wednesday baby!! xty that's why there were so many cars continuously honking at midnight. congratulation but very disturbing! Chocoholic Yeah why can't the Egyptians celebrate like normal people, by going and trashing a bar, fighting in the street, setting fire to phone boxes etc etc - he horn honking is very uncivilized! ahzao Mabrooks to Egypt. They deserved it. But it ain't finished yet. I'm a syrian and I root for Algeria. Don't get me wrong here, I like Abu Treika and all the other great players, it's just that Algeria has its own special charms, you know? Thanks and Good Night. dee7o
To each their own. If Algeria do win in Sudan, I will root for them in the World Cup but until Wednesday, Algeria is my sworn enemy : :evil: Mahmoud04
ouch, can't you make it easier,
normal people,
that was so uncivilized why to criticize others.
you didn't even congratulate! or say a single good word, just a comment to criticize. Tom Jones 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!!! 8) 8) Bora Bora
LMAO!!! what about a stadium riot? That seems to go over well.

Mahmoud, she was being sarcastic. Its Chocs!!!!! Don't take offense.
And yes, Mabrouk to Egypt. Well done. Mahmoud04 no offense at all, and football to me is just to watch a nice game, i am not a fanatic at all, anyway lets wish to see nice match on Wednesday, and over all if Algeria win i will follow it in 2010 ;). and Chocs FYI on Wednesday no matter who wins but there is gonna be tons of noise on the streets.... Bora Bora
When you have a game that is close and active, even if you are sitting on the side, you cannot help but to get emotional.
Noise on the street, that kind of noise I welcome. People are happy and excited. Misery Called Life
Totally! I absolutely love the spirit. It also lends the city some character!
Hoping to see them party again this wednesday! ahzao
Fair enough, brother. If Egypt makes it to the World Cup I'll be the first cheering for you guys ;)
Good luck. xty
day time is ok, but weekday midnight? Bora Bora
It's not like it's an every night event and goes on all night long. I heard it last night, woke me from my sleep and it may have lasted 5 minutes or so. Knew it was Egyptians celebrating (hubby told me that the game was going to be played).
Egyptians love the horn - when they win games, weddings, and in traffic. Chocoholic Well that's all very nice, but go into the desert and honk your horns! Pffff football = boring! Red Chief Absolutely. Why do you think women football hasn't been developed well? Because it's hardly possible to force 11 women to wear the same clothes....

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D xty
how can you say football is a boring sport? it is the most dynamic and lively sport that attracts the most spectators than any other sport. xty
LOL dee7o
I'm sorry but have you seen what goes on in England after late night Champions League ties? dee7o
She plays a much more exciting sport. Lacrosse. Bora Bora
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Unless, of course, they were designer uniforms. Bora Bora
Wow Chocs. I thought you were being sarcastic. Well you certainly proved me wrong. Horn honking is very uncivilized but destruction of property, fighting in the streets, rioting in stadiums is civilized?? What world do you live in??? Bora Bora
I guess it is boring compared to those physical sports you embrace - wrestling, boxing, etc. where seeing people violently attacking each other must make you absolutely dilirious. Sara_DZ [color=blue][/color] Sara_DZ Big holla to the Syrian guy  I am Algerian and must say that what happened to our team in the bus was VERY UGLY!!! Is that how u welcome people??? And u talking of being civilized!!! Feeling very positive and heading Sudan myself!!! WAR is ON Cheers .. Sara desertdudeshj When was the last time you saw Egyptians doing something without creating a ruckus ? I swear there have been so many times I thought there was a street fight only to realise later it was two egyptians talking casually ! rudeboy i am supporting the egyptians here, they got some class players like Zaki and Zidan & Mido. Hope they do get into World Cup and come in Englands group and hopefully kick some english arrrrssses :D sage & onion
No chance :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Leptir Can anyone tell me which channel is going to air the Bosnia vs. Portugal game tomorrow Wednesday ??? and are there any hotels/places where they would air the game? I don't have a lot of sports channels on my tv. I HAVE to watch. Go Bosnaaaaaa :love4: Leptir
Which channel and where did you watch it?? Red Chief
I think in any sports bar. Personaly I watched how Russia buried Slovenia in the Beagles bar in Millenium Hotel (Al Garhoud, Deira). Leptir
Oh ok thanks!! I guess I'll just have to call different sports bars and find out. catalyst Algeria will go to World Cup 2010 ,, And I hope will see amazing fight .. sorry match e__e ... Mahmoud04
wow, you managed to know the nationalities of two people talking casually in the streets...
man you are gifted you can make a lot of $ with such a talent. Bora Bora
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. Red Chief Do you envy, darling? The guy is brilliant. He is especially good in defining... Russians. There is nothing you can hide from this sleuth. :wink: melika969 He is good in defining Trolls too! he has lots of capabilities... Misery Called Life
Watched it on JSC Sports. They have bout 10 channels. I think it was showing on JSC Sports +4 or +5....English commentry Misery Called Life
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? Bora Bora
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". catalyst
MCL watching AlJazeera now :lol: Dr Strangeglove
Way to show the board your miniscule football knowledge in one sentence. rudeboy
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. Misery Called Life
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! Bora Bora
In his defense, he shows more knowledge than journo sports reporter, all around girl, Chocs, as she so well demonstrates in her posts. dee7o
Sorry, but what match were you watching exactly? BlackburnRovers 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 desertdudeshj What your trying to say is .."dumb @$$" dee7o
When did Alaa Mubarak say that? xty on CNN thousands of Egyptian fans make riots in front of Algerian embasy. i wonder if similar will happen to Irish fans to French embassy ;) Mahmoud04
hahaha, a new talent on the ground, did Alaa Mubarak told you that personally or via e-mail, because usually when he send such e-mails he CC me.... Misery Called Life
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! Misery Called Life
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. Mahmoud04 its serious, who said its not, but never come to declaring a war... i agree things went really bad, but at the end of the day we ppl will resolve it, its just football. benwj
good point benwj
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). xty Egypt's Amr Zaki Rules Out Portsmouth Move Because 'I Don't Wish To Play With An Algerian'
-
There is certainly no love lost between between Egypt and Algeria after the recent events...
The recent high tension between Egypt and Algeria has taken another ugly dimension after Egypt international striker, Amr Zaki, declared he will not be interested in joining English Premier League club Portsmouth because that would mean he will play alongside Algerian defender Nadir Belhadj.
UAE businessman Sulaiman Al-Fahim, who has stake at Portsmouth, disclosed that the former Wigan Athletic striker has been in regular touch with him in respect of a transfer to Fratton Park in the winter.
However, Zaki said on his personal website that a switch from Zamalek to Pompey is no longer an option because they have an Algerian player as well as Isrealis, who many Arab Muslims are against, on their books.
"I refused their offer before, but now joining Portsmouth is no longer an option for me," Zaki said.
"After Portsmouth signed an Israeli player and also hired an Israeli football director (Avram Grant), a possible move was ruled out.
"On top of that, no way could I play at Portsmouth with an Algerian within in their ranks."
The relationship between Egypt and Algeria has soured since the hostilities that followed the Pharaohs' 1-0 loss to the Desert Foxes in Wednesday's World Cup play-off.
Fans of both countries were engaged in bloody fights in Sudan as well as in their respective countries after Algeria qualified for next year's World Cup at the expense of their regional rivals.
Top government officials including Egypt President Hosni Mubarak have also joined in this row.
Samm Audu, Galactico
Egyptians should get a life its only a game flippen heck :roll: :roll: BlackburnRovers Egypt is the African champions having trashed Ivory Coast in the process, so benwj's statemtns are stupid. That said the Egyptians are acting like 6 year olds, with their statements of declsaring war and refusing to play with Algerians....... benwj
Beating an off-form african nation is something, but it ain't the world cup.
Eygpt are unlucky not to make it but they will never challenge for the top spot anyway, so whats the point?
Other nations are only beginning to show what they are capable of. NZ made it to the world cup and they don't even know what football is let alone go to war over it.
