Signs of lacking maturity among Egyptians: Bad loosers, no fair-play. Signs of pride among algerians and a lesson to the Egyptians that says it all outloud: Don't mess with Algeria. After all, it's only a game. Time to move on!

الغامدي Posted 2009-11-25

Every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe this event will wake Muslims and they will unite.

samir Posted 2009-11-25

The real culprit of all of this is the Egyptian system, which found in sport an effective sedative to put its unfortunate people to sleep. They forgot that the in any game there is always a loser. What shocks me is their attitude towards the Amazighs, whom they treat like barbarians. I am Moroccan and I support Algeria when it plays against anyone. I think this is natural. The Egyptians are quite far from us, and not in terms of distance only. Bravo, Greens! Good luck in the cups!

Salam alaikoum- Honestly, I did not expect the Egyptians to be so low! Even those who we thought were intellectuals and torchbearers for the whole nation have sunk to baseness. In a demonstration organised by well-known artists yesterday at the Pyramids, Mahmoud Yassine pronounced himself against the “barbaric” Algerians’ assaults on “honest”, “polite” and “civilised” people. He also said in strong voice, with monumental power and energy, that he will never forgive the Algerians for their “heinous crime” and offense against the “supreme race” that is the Egyptians! My God! I am outraged that my compatriots have committed something so irreparable such that this famous artist is shocked, revolted and disappointed with our “offense”!

1, 2, 3 viva Algeria! I die for my country and the sons of my country. I die for Bouteflika. Viva Algeria free and independent! The man who will stumble over it, humiliate us, our flag or our martyrs, hasn't yet been born. Algeria produced men. I die for you, my country, and die for Bouteflika. May God protect him for us. Long live Algeria, long live Bouteflika. Nawal from Bousmail, province of Tipaza.

What happened was caused by Zionists.

I want the paper to stop the frictions between the Egyptian and Algerian countries and stop the Egyptian media. As an Algerian, I will give my opinion honestly: The Algerian people are irritable and won't stand for these words. This is my opinion, to head off the consequences of the Egyptian media campaign. The consequences will be severe for the Egyptian government and people. I am just letting everyone know. Finally, I address my thanks to the owners of the paper. I ask them to continue and wish them success in their media mission and say the truth even if it is subject to pressure. I also thank you for this corner dedicated to customers.

محمد الصالح حمداوي Posted 2009-11-26

I don't want to comment on the matches or the violations which occurred before and after it. But I liked the mobilisation of the Algerian and Egyptian people when it is question of touching what they see as their principles. If Islamic states had good leadership, we would have been able to liberate Palestine in one hour, and this is the basis. May God curse everyone who wants to divide Muslims.

Hatem Posted 2009-11-26

Arab racism is astonishing and I as an african egyptian loves berbers... but those who say berbers are bad is all arabs. Long live all berbers and may they get free from all arabic states.

mohamed Posted 2009-11-26

I am sad, very sad that a football game could overflow and cause political tensions between brothers. I understand the Egyptians’ disappointment after their elimination, but this overflow disgusts me. The Egyptian regime wants to use football to pass the pill of the enthronement of its hereditary prince Jamal. But why, then, did the media’s outburst not spare us our lives or deaths? By talking about barbarians, our Egyptians brothers have targeted the entire Maghreb, especially Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The reality is that Egypt can't stand the emergence of another Arab country and considers all areas to be its protected hunting ground. Egypt cannot stand Doha because its channel, Al Jazeera, looming over its foreign policy. It cannot stand Dubai, because it attracts affluent tourists. It likewise cannot stand Syria and Jordan, where film production seriously threatens theirs. In the end, because of Algeria, which barred in its route to the World Cup, the “Mother of the World” has been reduced to a grandmother who, because she cannot act, simply nags everyone. Its people are given the names of all the birds. Its 1.5 million martyrs are treated like dogs. I do not know what these television directors see when they look in the mirror! Our Egyptian friends have a short memory. Who invaded Sudan and Libya? Who stoned the Algerians’ bus in Cairo? Egypt is knows to be a big movie producer, but this time its production of the bus affair was a failure. I told you it has become a grandmother. Rest in your corner and leave the others to work.

samir h Posted 2009-11-27

Here is a reminder to the about the entire fleet Algeria sent to Egypt, even though Egypt dares now to insult us: a squadron of MiG-21 planes on 9 October 1973, a squadron of Sukhoi planes on 10 October 1973, a squadron of MiG-17 planes on 11 October 1973, a mechanised brigade on 17 October 1973, a brigade of mechanised infantry on 23 October 1973. Egypt also asked for 150 tanks as reinforcements for its counterattack plan. There was no waiting on this request because the number requested arrived in Egypt along with the soldiers and various weapons. President Boumedienne, moreover, announced the cessation of all of Algeria’s development programmes and engaged all of Algeria’s forces in the battle. Finally, let us remember that President Boumedienne reacted to Kadhafi’s decision to stop the delivery of oil to Egypt, ordering four of our tankers to take up supply to the latter. All of this was nothing more than a small subset of the aid Algeria made a point to offer Egypt, not to mention the valiant Algerian martyrs who died in battle on Egypt’s land, which is now trying to denigrate and underestimate for a simple football match.

LATRINKA Posted 2009-11-27

Enough already! Stop telling us that the Egyptians are our brothers. We do not believe this. Our children do not believe this. Maybe the brothers of our rulers do – who knows? Please, stop! Israel’s friends are our enemies to the last day.

Ilyes Posted 2009-11-27

Hatem is talking about 2001 in Annaba. To this degree, we should talk about 1989 in Cairo, when Egypt used all the unsportsmanlike means possible to qualify. Even the goal they scored was made when our goalie suffered an assault. In any case, you are known for your bad faith and hypocrisy, which is added to your cowardice and whining. We learned with great joy that your artists and, moreover, all of your lowlifes are going to boycott Algeria. What a relief! What a joy to no longer be subjected to the stupidity of all these…

احمد Posted 2009-11-28

There is no life in those you are calling to.

SARAH SCORPION Posted 2009-11-29

I hate the Egyptians because they are sick. They talk too much.

ahmed maroc Posted 2009-11-29

Honestly, it is Egypt that began it all, and the first side that begins is the oppressor.

nordine algerie Posted 2009-11-29

I, too, am very surprised by the strength of the words and insults uttered against our living and dead by a few Egyptian media outlets. I am sure the latter only represent themselves. Our brother Egyptians, whom we know so well and with whom I have personally shared salt and bread, are pure and saintly. I do not want to and I must not confuse them with the groups who are supplying disunity and hatred. Egypt and Algeria are and will remain two brother countries, God willing.

اسماء Posted 2009-12-01

Happy Eid to all Muslims. Concerning frictions between Algeria and Egypt, I think the Jews succeeded in stirring the fire of strife and casting it on the two countries so that everyone will be trapped in its fire. The most important thing is that Algeria qualified and it will represent Arabs in the best way, God willing. We trust our team. Our slogan is: "We're with you, Greens, you'll do something great!"

ESPOIR Posted 2009-12-01

This is too much, too too much! Algeria is a big country and does not deserve this hatred over a football match. There must certainly be something else that we need to look for in Egypt’s internal politics and in their economy. Algeria does not need Egypt or its investments in Algeria. When I say “Get out!”, I also mean out of the Maghreb and the Arab world. Our next priorities should be the building of the Grand Maghreb and the unity of the Arab League without Egypt. Our leaders should no longer be quiet, because this benefits the Egyptian politicians and not their people. As for Egypt, may it go check out the Israeli side. Maybe it will find its happiness. Long live Algeria! Long live the Maghreb! Long live the Arab world!

Giséle Maugont _Paris(France) Posted 2009-12-02

Wherever Algerians go, they mess things up, be it in Egypt or in France or anywhere in the world. They break things, burn things, kill and so on. We are not going to press charges because, if we did, then…

توفيق من الجزائر Posted 2009-12-03

Salam alikum. Concerning the topic, I think that Egypt was wrong and made many mistakes. Why do I say this? Because it has confronted the bus with stones. Egyptians should have just apologised and we would have accepted the apology. There are fanatical fans in all parts of the world. We understand this. But Egypt said that what happened was done by Algerians. It beggars belief that the Algerian national squad, in which all players are in top famous European teams, sold and bought at millions, would beat themselves and make a play. Is this credible? I am asking everyone. Please reply. Even Egypt would have found a solution to this problem. Thank you Magharebia. Salam alikum.

mohamed algerie Posted 2009-12-04

Giséle Maugont thinks that the Algerians are troublemakers wherever they go. I do not deny that some young people sometimes express themselves with violence – I concede that – but, just like all the young people the world over, this excess of energy is not unique to the Algerians. If you are talking about matches between Algeria and Egypt, you are in a bad position to be offering a judgment because you are far from reality. There was violence against the Algerian players in Cairo upon their arrival, just as Canal+ witnessed. Their bus had rocks thrown at it in the middle of Cairo and our fans were humiliated when walking into the stadium in Cairo. Miss Maugont, I strongly doubt that you are French, given your text ridden with more mistakes than words. In the future, try to mind your spelling and the content of your messages.

fety algerien à paris Posted 2009-12-05

Reading this article, I told myself that Algeria is the guilty party!!! Wake up! Egypt is the one who started this. My cousins in Sudan did not do anything. Otherwise, show me the proof! I dare you! If the Egyptians demand reconciliation, I say, “No! No!” The damage has been done and our brothers and sisters have suffered on this land of so-called true Arabs. Long live Oran, Algeria and the Maghreb!

Amr Dubai Posted 2009-12-08

Just to reply to Mohamed Algerie i don't think you are correct all the way, Yes two rocks were thrown at the bus actually it hit the body and of you see the footage of Canal+ you will notice this and it wasn't in the middle of Cairo it was 2 minutes aways fom the Hotel which is at most 5 minutes aways from the airport. I don't intend to sound judgemental but you were not at the match, Algerian fans were not even touched outside the stadium at all - that is going in and out of it, although these 3000 attending did provoke 80K Egyptian supporters in the stadium and sitting behind TV screens at home and i am sure you have seen it on TV. After the game at night a fight picked up in one of the neighbourhoods between a group of 20 guys and was contained by the police, actually the police have been protecting the team and supporters as much as possible given they stopped provoking the people over there. If this tension is to end, it can only happen once air is cleared and obivous mistakes such as burning flags, swearing and cursing another nation on national news papers and TV which we know we all shared blood at times of war. I am sure we have our share of the blame which we say it out loud, but look at the amplification of matters, it certainly wasn't at the Egyptian front at all. Nevertheless, we need to approach matters in a different way.

No matter what happens, we are one. One religion, one country, one fate, in language and on top of all this, one Lord. There is no other God but Allah; Mohamed is the messenger of God. Long live Arabs until the Day of Judgment. Your brother Seddik, Biskra, Tolga Sehira

Enough blowing the topic Egyptians out of proportion. You've shamed Arabs on the [TV] channels; you're ignorant.

ALGERIEN Posted 2009-12-13

To all those who consider themselves educated and dare to speak of brotherhood between two Muslim peoples- Listen, my compatriots, I am a practicing Muslim and faithful to my religion, but no one in the world can convince me that these dirty dogs could have respect for true Algerians, be we Arab or Berber. Yes, we are Algerians and united and nothing at all can separate us. As for the insults that affected me so, the worst was their saying that our glorious martyrs are a pair of shoes. Worse yet, our leaders somehow closed their ears to all these insults against our martyrs. Our martyrs do not concern them, given they are in power. To all the Algerians who are proud of their nation, do not use the word “brother” with the word “Egyptian”. Boycott all products coming from Egypt, particularly those from cabaret artists, which is to say: brothels. We are invited there every summer. Algerian men and women have been repaid $16 billion by Mr Chakib. There you have it: this is what our leaders do. In the end, do not be quick to forget when, in a few months, everything gets back into order. Of course, all Algerians are called upon to peacefully protest for the end of diplomatic relations with these dogs. Long live Algeria! Long live the Amazighs, Arabs, Mozabites, Touaregs, Chaouis, Chlouhs! To Hell with all those who want to remain brothers with these dogs! It is clear that they did not lose one of their loved ones during the war for independence.

نونو من الجزائر Posted 2009-12-16

Salam alikum. Blessed Eid to the Islamic Umma. We are an Arab country. I want to say that we are Berbers, and we showed who Berbers are to the Pharaohs, who said that our martyrs were thugs. You are just dancers, and backward. One, two, three viva Algeria!
