                                          VIOLENCE TOOK OVER THE GAME

            Football is a game which binds Nations together, a game that makes people throw into oblivion things that batter and build concrete walls between them, a game that creates the world with no fear but the question is why will some people turn what bring joy into tragedy .
 
As a result of the violence at the march in Egypt on Wednesday leaving more than 74 persons dead the FIFA has demanded a full report on the incident in order to know what transpired the violence 

            Home fans reportedly armed with sticks and knives stormed the field after the final whistle. Reports suggested some Al-Ahly fans suffocated, trapped in a narrow corridor as they fled the violence.
Al-Ahly coach, Manuel Jose, spoke of his sense of helplessness after watching his club’s fans die in front of him. Jose himself was among those who were attacked.

            The Portuguese boss said he was hit and kicked on the neck, head and feet and he saw football fans die before his eyes and he or anybody were unable to do anything, he also added that nothing happened to any of the players but he feel overwhelming sadness and the return flight was made in silence, full of respect for the lives of our fans who died.

 He stated that what happened was an unspeakable catastrophe from the beginning of the game, the fans of the opposing team were allowed to fire rockets and stones at us without any intervention.


            In a letter to Egyptian FA President, Samir Zaher, the world governing body’s President, Blatter, offered support and said: “Today is a black day for football and we must take steps to ensure that such a catastrophe never happens again.
