Holy crap,
Are the comments always this good around here?
Most people try to be funny and fail but these are topical and informative (although 1982 WC was in Spain.)\

“.., in a place both teams’ safety could be guaranteed. An oasis of security and peace in an impoverished, extremist region…”

This is such a surreal sentence.
Like ‘bombing for peace’ or ‘f**king for virginity’.

Interesting article about how the rivalry between Egypt and Algeria has been built up over the years.

15,000 security guards have been hired to work the match today.
For reference, that’s double the amount of actual spectators that went to a NE Revolution playoff game 3 weeks ago.

I think FIFA exists to make the IOC look wholesome
