When is this on?

The atmosphere is going to be mental! Are there going to be away fans there?

It's a 17.30 kick off but it doesn't appear to be on TV. I'm sure a certain Iraqi sports channel will be showing it though.:wink:

TBH thats what its all about. Passion, hatred, FOOTBALL.

I can't help but notice though that if that was England or Rangers fans doing similar things they'd be labelled mindless thugs, animals, hooligans etc.....

Why let fans in if they know there will be mass riots?

Football rivalry? It's like saying the Balkan conflict was caused solely by a game of football.

Ah got a bit confused when the reporter started wittering on about what the Faroes has to do to qualify. I thought they finished bottom of the Group that Serbia won :confused: Did they get another chance to play in Africa 'cos they are Pish? :greengrin

1-0 at Half time, Egypt still need two goals.

Yup and after a whirlwind start from Eygpt Algeria have had a couple of decent chances to score...will get a bit tasty as it gets near the end

If Egypt dont score in the next 15 minutes i'd say theres a good chance of some crowd 'intervention'...

Me too, its described as a local 'derby' but Algeria is as far away from Cairo as Scotland is from Moscow:faf: Hell of a trip to get rocks thrown at you:tin hat:

I thought Egypt had to win by 3 goals or they wouldn't qualify?

David_D
14-11-2009, 07:41 PM
they had to win by 3 to qualify but if they won by 2 it would mean they where equal with Algeria in points and goal difference and goals scored and conceaded (sp)
