Egypt and Morocco were both very sore losers.

The top African team left in the tournament at this stage is France.

Which looks like an NFL or NBA team.

Egypt has a point. However, I thought Iran was screwed too, during the Egypt vs. Iran match.

To this uninformed sap, officiating during the World Cup seemed preferential and atrocious.

Washington pays Cairo $2 billion a year not to send the millions of young men who blame the Jews for everything

I would have hoped that Trump/Rubio would have put an end to paying the jizya tax to the koranimals.

the US choked as well against belgium in the second half.

Norwigian’s best striker fouled out against the Brits. That’s a more subtle form of losing it under pressure.

imho the moroccans were a better team than the egyptians.

I delight in the fact that Momsdummi feels that Egypt was robbed!
