An ambassador recalled . Another embassy under siege. A level of alert we haven’t seen in years here in Cairo – it’s nothing like the original Football War but if we play our hand right, it’ll be immortalized in a Wikipedia entry of its own titled “Egyptian-Algerian football war of 2009”. It started in June. No no, strike that - it started in 1989. A frustrated Algerian...
Mr. Brian Cowen is the Prime Minister of Ireland I might be able to forgive saying something dumb in the immediate aftermath of an important game in which an official blew an important call -- maybe even Joe Nathan's recent impulse to bitch and moan about the egregious missed call in a game in which the call wouldn't have happened at all if he had done his job.

History has proven there are two subjects that will move Egyptians into the streets in riotous numbers, crashing windows, battling each other and defying an army of club-wielding riot police.
So, France made it to the World Cup at the expense of the Republic of Ireland. Expected? Maybe. Still, the way Les Blues made it through is far more than questionable. For those of you who were hibernating during the past week and somehow don’t know how France qualified, Thierry Henry handled the ball 13 minutes into extra [...]
