When I asked him why he started cursing Algeria and Algerians and vowing to take revenge on how they "humiliated and vilated" "us". I think that's relevant to what you're saying.<br /><br />Oh, btw I don't agree with you on football not being a distraction or a source of legitimacy to the ruling regime. Why else would the regime be holding on to the football industry (the clubs and the league) when it's been selling almost all other industries?Mohammadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12143995185840381759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-71613242774164629882009-11-20T12:42:51.386+02:002009-11-20T12:42:51.386+02:00Football and national pride aside, there is someth...Football and national pride aside, there is something vague--at least vague to me and you--that lets one Egyptian asks another Egyptian if he is really Egyptian. You had your incident with a hospital clerk. Mine was with a member of Egypt's judiciary, in a polling station, on elections day.<br /><br />He took my ID, instructed the clerks to do their work, gave me my poll, watched me go into the booth, watched me come out, then he posed the question: انت مصري?<br /><br />I could not bring myself to swallow it and make the usual argument about what makes him think I am not, so I silently gave him a very Egyptian hand gesture: give me that ID now!<br /><br />Just like Samia and the rest of our folk, he knew there was something not quite right about me too.AGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485224023447278984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-36994327160934479122009-11-20T01:27:56.595+02:002009-11-20T01:27:56.595+02:00Not all these Egyptians are lying.

There is something wrong about the Algerians who were in Sudan. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx1M4viv5A4<br /><br />These are not regular football fans. Thet don't wear green or white, they don't wave flags, they wave knives. It's hard to tell if they are Algerian fans at all. But it's easy to expect them to be as after Algerians attacked Orascom and burnt Egyptian flags in the streets.<br /><br />We, Egyptians, would have never gone this far. They are something else. I agree with Samia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
