An upcoming football match between Egypt & Algeria has tempers boiling and fans stressed to critical limits! But that doesn't seem to effect Cheb Khaled & Mohammad Mounir! On the contrary, the two have taken a decision that many might see as crazy!
Khaled & Mounir are holding a joint concert tonight in efforts of dispersing the idea of Mass Intolerance.
Both singers have called out to football fans to cool it and keep their sports spirits high.
They also believe that art and music can easily unit people and prove that all Arabs are brothers.
The concert, which is scheduled for tonight at the Akhbar Al Youm Academy in Cairo, is expected to attract many music lovers, but it's also expected to witness acts of violence and rioting!
Although Khaled and Mounir were warned from what might happen tonight, they insist on going ahead with their concert and insist that in music, there is no violence and Egyptians and Algerians are brethren and they're both winners.
Khaled revealed that he won't be watching the upcoming match, because he simply has no interest in football. As for Mounir, he revealed that he sees no shame in carrying the Algerian flag and he sees both teams as winners.
It's true, football is just another sport and a match shouldn't be such a serious matter! Even if it's the match that will take one of the teams to the World Cup finals.
I really hope nothing serious will happen tonight in the concert ... or both Khaled and Mounir will be very disappointed! And we'll prove once again, just how shallow we've become!

there are many french and francophone press coverage of this topic ...I am appalled by the fans insults and hatred against the opponent country...there were even fans who burned flags...hatred between the two nations seems almost ancient and visceral...
journalists don't realize how important are their remarks....I was totally ignorant that there was such hatred between Algerians and Egyptians...a football game ,as important and decisive as it may be, cannot be the cause of this outburst of hatred ...it doesn't look too good ...
will these two singers be able to calm those raging fans?...I can't help myself from thinking that they will fail...Gamal abdel Nasser and Mahmood Darwich would be extremely unhappy to hear about that hatred if they were still alive...they must be turning in their grave...
too bad
concert or no concert, Algeria will win and egypt will loose the match big time
ALGERIA 5-0 Inchallah
someone has an idea where I could watch this match online?...plz plz plz...many Algerian players are the scorers of French clubs...I would say: may the best man win but my forecast is rather optimistic for Algeria 2-1
so sorry Egypt
EGYPT all the wayyyy!!!! We did it once before, let us do it again!!!!! :D
Guys, do you know Algerian fans song is in french?...great!!!!! Allez allez allez!!!! allez les verts...Go go go go the greens....wow....
Allez allez allez ....allez lez les verts...
Come on ahmed, we will dance and sing in Cairo Stadium...
exactly 'manman' EGYYYPPPPTT will do it as they did before !
Masr Om El donya !
Egyyyyppptt All the wayyy!..WE ARE THE AFRICAN CHAMPIONS ALL DAY AND EVERY DAY :D
What they did before ?... it 's now nineteen years they only lose...they haven't won for ages...go go go Egypt do what you are used to do and what you do to perfection: lose...
Allez allez allez allez les verts...vous allez bien sûr leur faire la misère!!!!!
Egypt loses?
Algeria hasn't qualified for the African Cup in 6 years..while Egypt won it twice in a row. :)
Oh wait...who beat Italy? Who embarrased Brazil? Oh yeah...Egypt.
Go EGYPT!
EGYPT WILL WIN ISA ISA
LUV U YA MASRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
GOOD LUCK 4 EGYPT =)
SRY ALGERIA
they shouldn't be satisfied just in embarrassing any particular team...they must learn to win ...They played well against Brazil?...ok...but you must also remember that they lost by 4 to 3...anyway they aren't in a fashion show...
in my opinion the weakness of the Egyptian national team they have no players expatriates unlike the Algerian team that has almost all the players operating in European clubs...
allez allez allez ...allez les verts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm with Algeria because egyptian supporters yesterday trow some rocks to algerian players
and four Algerian football players were injured when their team bus came under attack from stone throwers in Cairo...one player is still in hospital for treatment...omg...they will eventually kill them...
Allez allez allez...allez les verts...
correct Alain NRM that's not fair-play!
Too late for that guys, its pretty much proven that the Algerians themselves broke the windows lol.
Anyways, Egypt is bigger than a Soccer Game ;)
By the way...eh...we have the best players and goalie in Africa..so...
MASR! EGYPT!
well it hasn't been fair play from the beginning, 10 yrs ago when egypt & algeria played, egypt WON qualifying for the world cup in 1990 and the Egyptian team doctor lost his eye...so it's more of a revenge thing which is happening in egypt now, remember when el ahly's bus got stoned in tunis and the team got injured cuz they won the match...stoning buses is historically common in the arab world........anyhow it's wrong that ppl r acting this way, im with egypt im sure they will do it especially with zidan's presence and the fact that it is a home match! makes a big difference.....playing against brazil and italy, egypt made an unexpected presence, w sharaf el 3alam el 3arabi kakol.........gooo egy!!!
this won't be the last match b/w egy and alg, relations b/w the nations should not be affected by just a soccer game, after all the algerian national anthem min tal7een mohamed fawzi, it's only a soccer match 1 will win and 1 will lose.....
"the Algerians themselves broke the windowsé???!!!!...gosh...I never venture to give you an inquiry investigation...
with you victims will be accused of being the cause of all evils for sure...
lol Alain NRM well we live in a strange world where indeed victims are the bad ones
"Egyptian team doctor lost his eye...so it's more of a revenge "????!!!
...What is this revenge dear friend?...that all the Algerian fans and players must also lose an eye!!!!...somehow it's the "lex talionis" which consists of fair reciprocity of crime and punishment. This law is often symbolized by the phrase eye for eye, tooth for tooth.
what delirium !!!!!what savagery!!!!!
lol, i'm not rationalizing the egyptians' actions, i'm just explaining where this "hatred" b/w the fanatics comes from!!!!
It's funny coz now some of u guys are doing the same as those who create conflict in the first instance, and completely overlooking what these 2 performers are attempting to do. Besides, you will never know who threw the first rock or who inflicted the first bubble of tension to open this onslaught of threatening behaviour if you weren't there. But we as a public, as fans, as supporters are mugs.
I can only tell you that it sure as hell wasnt a female! But even the females are saying '...ohI hate so & so' which is pretty amusing.
Football has a history globally of causing hooliganism and violence, in fact football hooliganism has been criminalized in much of Europe for causing so much terror, as it should be. Meanwhilst, Arabs have their priorities where criminalism is concerned since we do such an awful job at policing the basics.
I would dare not say Egypt hates Algeria or Algeria hates Egypt because of a football game. In fact speaking as an Egyptian; if you've ever ventured into Egypt then you should know that it's fair to say the only country Egypt hates is Egypt.
The real problem is the media and certain journalists who provoke the whole ordeal, they can't talk about REAL problems thanks to those whose profession begins with the letter P. I call them the mafia. So they focus so intensely and intently on ridiculous issues that inturn fill our minds with trash because we're so defeated in everything else that we are trying to accomplish as citizens. Thus we most probably use football to bash what we can't voice elsewhere.
I don't think Egypt will win.
But whoever goes through to the World Cup will be out in round 1; round 2 maximum if their lucky. So it's all pretty futile isnt it? You'll hate every team you go up against and you'll dislike whatever or whomever they represent.
The only country egyptians hate is Egypt? Etklm 3am nafsak. For some reason my previous post was not approved. But again the Algerian coach deserves an Oscar after this great act. Egypt all the way ISA
how is it possible?!!!...omg...we managed to have the same opinion that Egypt will lose this home match!!!...Who wudda thunk it?...
LOL
This is funny.
Anyways..lets talk about what this article is actually about? The Concert..
Anyone watch it?
and the concert was about????...the match !!!!hahah...
True LOL
But it was nice to see Egyptians with Egyptian Flags..Algerians with Algerian flags..and everyone enjoying their own artist, with nothing getting out of hand.
In the end it's just game not a war between Egypt and Algeria....good luck to both teams :)
It was actually the Algerian players who broke the windows from the inside, it was them who demanded the match to be postponed and their request was refused. hahaha
Algerian players are not the victims here, because there was an investigation done and it said that they were the ones who were acting, breaking windows and also, getting some pebbles/stones from near the hotel, so that it would appear that they've been attacked.
ALAIN you don't have a clue about what really happened! :) Go eat cheese for dessert :P
i don't have a clue about what happened?....you would rather say i do not have the same informations as you...dude,you could not imagine how i'm so proud of that... i have my informations from a neutral media of my country France not from your biased newspaper al ahram...
As i'm neither algerian nor egyptian, neither arab nor muslim i have the feeling to be objective...i do really believe that in less than 2 hours we, unfortunately, will attend to the burrial of egyptian's hope...when we are neutral we have that capacity to react with reason and not with passion...
egypt's hope is dead in algiers...Algeria must continue its trajectory to meet France in johannesburg...omg...i'm so excited...indeed we will eat them...
Don't be sad dear salah, for your arabic and islamic fraternity you will be a great supporter for algeria ...
from a freethinker

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO EGYPT!!!!
I'm super happy for you and all the Egyptians ...maybe our teams will be opponents in south africa ....
it's more piquant France against Algeria than Egypt against France due to the very strange relationship between France and Algeria which oscillates between love and hate...
but it's not yet over for you...you are not at the end of your suffering...sorry!!!!!
anyway congratulations for this evening score...well done...
Congrats to all Egyptians =)
yeah sam we know masri won, but maybe Algeria will win again, u'll see!
And when exactly did Algeria win in the first place ? Algeria will win again ? maybe next time.
Egypt is going to the WORLD CUP, whether you like it or not.
You will see on Wednesday!!
Egyptian and Proud :)
oh salah my friend you have already forgotten that Algeria has already won the first leg ?!!!!...you've already forgotten the three goals to zero against Egypt in Blida ?!!!...
I have three hypotheses to describe your problem:
-maybe your memory is very short
-or your memory is selective i.e, it retains only what is pleasant and rejects all the bad memories... you must have a hell of trash in your brain!!!!...haha
-and then what I fear most for you,you have signs of brain aging that characterize Alzheimer's disease!!!...you should consult your doctor without wasting a second...lol...
Eh..it was 3-1 when we played in Algeria..
And lets add this...
Egyptian homes are being burned in Algeria as we speak...
They have mental problems, when they do this over a soccer game, then they have problems.
Disgrace.
I support the Algerian football team but not these barbaric acts...if what you say is true I can only deplore...can you tell me please on what TV channels you heard this information?...Football should be fun, a relaxing time and not a war declaration...
Its all over the Egyptian channels, and it has been confirmed by both governments.
The people in THEIR homes and their Workplaces have been on some TV statiosn...
Its unbelievable...
They have been given THREE hours by the Algerians to get out of their homes before they kill them.
Algerians burned Egyptian who live in algeria they collect them together and burn them WTH IS THIS !!! IS ALGERIA AN ARABIAN COUNTRY AND U CALL US MESRAEL WHAT ABOUT U ALGERIAN PEOPLE F U C K THIS MATCH THAT Will make us go through all this .. no comment i am soooo sad menko lelaaah

The Algerian army, after over 8 hours, has finally been able to bring things back to normal right now. There are 10 confirmed Egyptian injuries so far...
Not one Non-Egyptian channel has broadcast the news...yet the faked bus incident was the headline of all news. Talk about bias.
ALAIN, YOU ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES!
Why are you even supporting the Algerian team?
You must be an Algerian yourself or you have Algerian roots.
I am 16 years old and I do not have a short memory, very funny. Alain, I might have seen you on the news today in Marseille, you were burning the Egyptian flag and you were so damn mad..and you were so uncivilized! oh no no, that was not the French-way of dealing with loss at all!
And throwing garlic everywhere and it wasn't even your team who was playing..you've got a serious problem:P
Au revoir, Alain! see you on Wednesday! I will probably eat you after the match, but I won't be here on WALEG, I will be celebrating, sorry, but you can keep waiting for me here! :P
P.S I loved France, I loved it so much!
Until I met you, Alain !! *
* Joke
YEA ALAIN!!!! You are soooo freakin annoying OMG!!!! Why do you always try to buff up your words and sound overly smart when what your saying shows absloutely no intelligence whatsoever! You are annoying lol. I think its time for you to kiss all our egyptian butts, because guess what? WE WON! and your sad team lost.... Geezzz.... People these days..
