Egypt Algeria

[slash75]

Just finished watching this. What a match.

Egypt and Algeria were playing for the last African place at the World Cup. Egypt needed to win by 3 clear goals to go through. If it was 2-0 it's a play off on Wednesday. Otherwise, Algeria would go through.

Egypt scored early to go 1-0 up. Then for the rest of the game it was constant chances and end to end football but no goals. Then 6 minutes were given for injury time, thanks to the play acting antics of the Algeria players. In the last minute of injury time Egypt scored, to go 2-0 up. Then last kick of the game, they hit the side netting. the commentator nearly had a heart attack and the crowd was going ballistic

Good to see justice done for the cheating Algerian bastards, as the long injury time was caused by them. Can't wait for the play off.

I think the BBC live text updates enjoyed it as well


1926: Into injury time in Cairo. One more goal...

1928: They are well into stoppage time, but there will be six minutes of it in Egypt. Good gracious.

1931: EGYPT HAVE SCORED IN THE FIFTH MINUTE OF INJURY TIME. IT'S 2-0. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE THINGS IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL.
