Reasons why the Israeli football (soccer) team shouldn't play its neighbours

If two Arab countries can produce this much anger towards each other..

"Riot police in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, quelled a violent demonstration near the Algerian embassy in the early hours of Friday. Egyptian protesters reportedly hurled firebombs at police protecting the embassy and overturned a police van. Egypt's Interior Ministry said 35 people were injured"

..over a game of football

"The clashes stem from Egypt's defeat by Algeria in a World Cup qualifying match on Wednesday, securing Algeria the last African place for next year's finals."

..What would happen if Israel was playing?

OK, ok, so Londonstani knows there's bad blood between Egypt and Algeria... but hey, they've never fought a war - let alone three.

"The statement by Egypt's Football Federation added: "Egyptian fans, officials and players put their lives at risk before and after the game, under threat from weapons, knives, swords and flares".

"We should treat Algeria like any country that has declared war on us," university student Amr Higazi told Agence France Presse."

I mean seriously, this sounds like its turning to a mid sized diplomatic incident between Algeria, Egypt and then Sudan, when all they did was host!?

football, Algeria, Egypt

Let's not forget the 1969

Let's not forget the 1969 "Football War" between El Salvador and Honduras which kicked off after a soccer game (although the soccer game was merely the spark that ignited plenty of other tensions between the two countries).

Soccer / Football brings out

Soccer / Football brings out the worst in most countries. Ireland and England have some very bad games. If that was the criteria, we should stop most soccer games against rival nations.

Yeah, this kind of stuff

Yeah, this kind of stuff never happens in the civilized world. Only those naively amorous and infantile populations in the global south get so passionate about their soccer teams...

Oh come on Londonstani, you

Oh come on Londonstani, you know that football between cousins can be sometimes bloodier than football between enemies. After all, Algeria and Egypt have both followed the same trajectory -from leaders of liberation to puppets of superpowers-; both would like to distract from the fact that they have horrendous regimes in power; and Egypt in particular wants to hide the fact that indeed it is a much bigger enemy towards other Arab nations than it is to Israel. It is probably for this reason that most Palestinians in Gaza celebrated the Egyptian loss.

As for Sudan, the Egyptian regime has been remarkably racist and horrenous towards Sudanese refugees; why should they have to respect the Sudanese police?

The refugees are from the

The refugees are from the south. The policemen were in Khartoum. Talking about friends and enemies; the Iran-US match in 99 (or was it 98) was bitter and hard fought - on the pitch. The supporters were all huggy kissy. But there is a personal animosity between Egyptians and the North Africans that I've never understood. I suppose, the inter North African animosity is slightly easier to understand as it involves political jockeying. The only North Africans my Egyptian friends like are Moroccan women.

Londonstani, the animosity

Londonstani, the animosity between Egypt and Algeria and Libya dates to wanting to be the leaders of revolution, and to Nasser wanting regional dominance. The three countries in particular have always wanted to be the cock of the walk in Africa and the Arab world. That is why the animosity. Tunisia and Morocco have not had these aspirations, but they also were always much closer to the US and former colonial powers than Egypt, Algeria and Libya used to be.

One Sunday womens timberland

One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply. http://www.timberland6inch.com/
