What did happen last time?
Click to expand...

egypt needed to win by 3 goals to qualify for the WC

before the game, algerian team bus was ambushed by egyptian fans, some players injured

the match went ahead despite algerian calls for the game to be awarded to them due to the violence

then it finished 2-0 to egypt and they both finished level on points, goals scored, and with the same head to head score

so we hav the play off!

its on eurosport...but damm flatmates are on the tv!
 
the algeria bus got bricked and a few players got their faces cut, Egypt blamed the Algerians and said they smashed their own windows.

in a play off for the 1990 world cup one of the team doctors for Egypt (i think) got his eye gouged out with a broken bottle by the Algerian goalkeeper

Don't you mean 80% of the crowd going mental? It seems that all but a small part of the crowd were waving green/white Algerian flags. Watched it on Jazeerah TV. Whistles and boos every time Egypt got the ball. They actually deserved an equalizer but the referee wasn't having it. Despite umpteen injury stoppages by mostly Algerian players and many substitutions, they only played 4 mins stoppage time. Egypt were the better team on the night but Algeria defended like four Dunnie Monsters all game.
