Egyptian Soccer

Some readers will have noticed that James Dorsey’s pieces come out on the URL http: mideastsoccer.blogspot.sg . “Sg,” in this instance, stands for Singapore, by the way. For whatever reason, Dorsey is indeed serious about following Middle East soccer, as well as the involvement of Middle East interests in European football clubs. His interest, it seems, has given him access to all sorts of information, like the two pieces above on Qatari labor issues. Where it seems to stand him in the best stead regards what’s going on in Egypt.

Dorsey has brought to our attention the importance of the “ultras” in Egyptian politics. As he says, “Ultras groups across Egypt constitute the country’s second largest, most organized civic group after Mr. Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, the country’s foremost political grouping.”

Who are they? If one knows the sports world outside the United States, one knows that “ultras” is a term for fanatical team partisans. In the case of Egypt, one is talking about “Ultras Ahlawy” (UA-07), a group that supported the Cairo-based Egyptian Premier League football club Al-Ahly....

“Ultras Ahlawy played a key role in the 2011 Egyptian protests, along with the Ultras White Knights.[2]

The Battle of Feb2nd was a key turning point in the Egyptian revolution. It is known as Bloody Wednesday in Egypt and as “the battle of the camel” in the west. Over 300 Egyptians died that day, most of them Ultras. Video of Ultras Fighting in Tahrir Sq.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultras_Ahlawy

There are thousands of Ultras. They were called by the salafist mullahs on facebook to attend the recent protest in Cairo and are becoming more political. Quatar is being stirred up as well...this time with labor...large, easy to rile, angry grouping. They all sound kinda similar to the occupiers Obamist et al are setting up here - we’re not immune and when the time is right, such as, when jihad obamist loses the election, who knows...
