Dam I love betting on soccer, but shite like this is the reason Soccer will never be mainstream here in the USA.Can you imagine this happening during the Super bowl?

This has nothing to do with Soccer and all to do with Politics boys. Yes, these things happen in soccer, but this is not one of them.

You are looking at factions trying to destabilise a still growing & fragile democracy.

Very sad day...

I agree with MatI. Soccer was just the way to perform this terrible hate show.

Yes that has to be with politics!

But also they're saying that through internet the fans of each teams already planed and were threathing each other!

The Egyptian Federation is a f**cking disgrace, they knew this may happen and they didn't cancelled

exits locked so no one could escape.

Faaaaaark!

They might as well just have a placebo football game and invite the fans into the stadium with guns. Make it an official war. Neutral venue so one side don't out-number the other. Who needs a real football game, this is an excuse for WAR!

It's not an excuse for war, it is war! Egyptians are fighting for their freedom and it sadly has spilled over onto the soccer ground. Atleast games have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.

Most that died were supporters of the visiting team. A blue collar team. These same supporters were on the streets a year ago to oust the old Mubarak regime. Home team fans are saying it was orchestrated by officials as 'pay back'.

There have been 2 days of protests and clashes with 'police' since the incident. Hopefully this can at least act as a catalyst to oust those remaining in power.
