Congrats to Algeria on taking revenge and finally making it to a WC again (if I remember right, last time was in 1982 when they defeated Germany). I was disappointed by Egypt's reaction after the 0-1, although they had 2 top chances at least.
Hard luck to the Egyptians. You should be proud of this team.

Am not egyptian but honestly the egpytians are the victims here nodoubt about it. From day one the algerians were trying they're best to start a war over a stupid football game.
I hate to generalize or stereotype but anyone familiar with the people in that part of the world would know that the algerians are pretty agressive people in nature both them and us (iraqi's) have a serious attitude problems i admit to that....

now that i'm much calmer i think i do agree with u on alot of aspects u mentioned but yeah as u said u cant generalize. unfortunately the media over here last night and due to the fact people were surrounded and every one was worried about his or her children being safe toke the algerians as a whole which is un-fair and very illogical. just like any place in the world there has to be good and bad so yes they r a bit aggressive and that has its reasons which go back to decades and decades ago. yes the media between the two nations was very un-classy to the degree it became a war the next thing u know they will boycott one another. the football match did take another approach other than sports and u hear alot of all the regions problems being addressed and how the egyptains underachieved in some of the political cases but thats normal and it happens.
as for iraqi's being aggressive well, not all of them in fact i never met iraqi's up until this year cos there are iraqi's in my university and they r not aggressive they just take time to get used to people and thats normal yes they tend to be a bit firm int here conversations but once they get used to you they really open up to you and become very nice people but they need to get used to you thats all.
at the end of the day i'm sorry if any of my comments did'nt go too well with any one here, once again i did mean it when i said congrats to algeria andi still mean it ( now that my friends are back form there with all there funny, and scary stories). i'm glad its over now so we can learn from this, and see what needs to be done to avoid such heated up events in the future.
