This has got nothing to do with economics/finance, but... From what i see/hear on the news its hilarious 
Can you say, "you know you're in a third world country when......" "A soccer match has the potential to cause an international incident" ;)
Apparently the creme de la creme of Egyptian high society, entertainers (were talking the Brangelina's of Egyptian Cinema, which is like Hollywood for the ME) and government were at the game and as the crowd was leaving after Algeria beat Egypt in the qualifying match, the Algerian fans pull out swords, bats, knives, bottles and rocks and go to town on the Egyptian fans....
Among the Egyptian contingent were the Egyptian presidents two sons (who will likely succeed him in office) and a rather large contingent of Ministers as well as a boatload of other wealthy Egyptians.....
It is being reported that once the Sudanese police saw that the Algerians were well armed they ran and left the Egyptian fans to fend for themselves until the Sudanese army came in to control the crowd... Meanwhile Egyptians had to hide under cars, buses and in Sudanese citizens homes to keep from getting hurt....
How the hell do an entire lot of Algerian fans get into a stadium with knives, bats and other weapons on foreign soil???
Eyewitnesses say the Egyptians had been attacked with knives, swords, stones and glass bottles.
Many fans had to hide in Sudanese homes to escape the attacks. Others waved Algerian flags to pretend they are Algerians.

Algerian fans have also targeted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak sons, Alaa and Gamal, who attended the game in Sudan, throwing bottles and stones at them and reportedly telling Mr Alaa “we will kill you”.
In a rare public statement, Mr Alaa called for a “tough stance” to be taken against Algeria, saying “when you insult my dignity... I will beat you on the head.”
