Algeria has gone football crazy ! Why? Why?

Football mania?
_______________________________


The whole country is currently talking about nothing but football, men, women, children, all the radio stations and newspapers have gone raving mad!!

I'm here in the UK and although I have never been a football fan, I find myself drawn into this football fever... I don't recognise myself anymore!

I want to know what's going on and why I now and then have goose pimples when I hear all these silly football songs like

"1,2,3 Viva l'Algérie !! "

Why ? Why?

[Al-khiyal]

Those who are weak don't fight.

Those who are stronger might fight

for an hour.

Those who are stronger still might fight

for many years.

The strongest fight

their whole life.

They are the indispensable ones.

Wasn't the second half of the game nerve-wracking ?!

I thought, here we go again, all the pressure was on the Algerian team. The ball was probably 90% of the time in the Algerian camp. The Egyptian goalkeeper could have had a nap on the other side.

I really thought it was only a matter of time before the Egyptians would score. Thank God that didn't happen!!

3 cheers to our hero goalkeeper, but next time, change of tactic please!

Congratulations.

It's a great unifier for the nation.

I could not watch the game, I watched only 10 min in the beginning. I did not want to see the egyptians score again...

I'm telling you I was on the edge of my seat throughout, mostly dreading and expecting a defeat! After all , they scored 2-0 previously. I did feel tempted not to watch. The second half was too much like the game we lost. It's a miracle that we won. I guess Allah had a plan. Look at the implications for our nation!! Wonderful. Shukran ya rabb. Viva...!
