BBC journalist Farayi Mungazi recalls his first-hand experience of violence at a top football game in Egypt
Lion Fisile - Football fans (soccer that is), are the worst species of human garbage. I still can't figure out what the hype is all about. Those who play get paid heavily. The rest are just a scum of violent spectators. Worse still, you can't drink out of the cup being won. Stupid-ass freaks.

Two people have been killed and more than 800 injured in protests across Egypt sparked by the deaths of 74 people after a football match. The two killed were shot by police trying to disperse angry crowds in the city of Suez, medical officials said. In the capital Cairo, thousands of protesters remained on the streets following a day of clashes with police. Thousands marched to the interior ministry, where security forces fired tear gas to keep them back.

Dear People of Egypt
Please stop. Whether it is or is not related to football, violence is not the solution to anything.

Clashes in Egypt between security forces and people protesting over the the deaths of seventy four football fans are continuing outside the interior ministry in Cairo. There are unconfirmed reports that one man has died from gunshot wounds. Two people were killed in the city of Suez in confrontations overnight. The demonstrators blame Wednesday's deaths at a football stadium in Port Said on the military. They believe visiting fans from Cairo were deliberately targeted because of their prominent role in the uprising that overthrew President Mubarak.
