Oh, heck, wait this season after a Mariners game victory, when one of the players waves an American flag he will have to apologize to the offended liberals....it's not far off

It's really not funny, but it is funny!!!

Can't explain but I so enjoy the thought of hair on fire in Egypt.

Another fan, Osama Mohy, told AFP: "As an Egyptian I am very sensitive when it comes to Israel."

Maybe this should tell you something about yourself.....

...defender John Pantsil waved an Israeli flag to celebrate his team's goals.

I imagine the reaction was similar to what it would have been if the story had instead read:

"...Ghana's World Cup team apologised after defender John Pantsil dropped his shorts and took a large steaming dump on the field to celebrate his team's goals.

"And why would a Ghana player be waving an Israeli flag?"

He plays in the Israeli league.

...And many Egyptians in the stadium recoiled like vampires to sunlight.

I'm still confused but have lost all interest.

Just ignore those anti-dentites.

He is from Ghana but plays professioally for a team in Israel. Players come home to play for the nation of their citizenship during the World Cup. Another example is American Brian McBride, who plays professionally in England but is now playing for the US in the World Cup.

No need for any apologies to a people that carry out suicide bombings as a matter of policy.
The GFA needs to stop develop some backbone for a change.

Shoot, Pantsil shouldn't have caved in to all the whiney crybabies! Dang! He should have waved the Israeli flag all the more and told the "sensitive" Egyptian and other carpetbaggers to go kiss his Dixie tailpipe.
