We are all following in Egypt the Africa cup of Nations in Ghana 2008. It is the main event , of course the regime is using it to divert the attention of the public from other more urgent things like the situation on the borders and the internal situation from economic problems to political problems.
Anyhow many Egyptians look to this championship as the only hope where we can achieve victory , even if it is a false victory.
Last night I watched the Match between Egypt and Sudan where Egypt won the Sudanese team 3-0 .
Abu Tarika our favourite football player had scored two goals ,after scoring the first he showed his inner shirt on which there were some words on it ,that costed him a yellow cared
What were these words ??
Sympathy with Gaza
This is not the first time Abu Tarika's does it , in the Africa Cup of Nations in Cairo 2006 during the infamous Danish Cartoon crisis, Abu Tarika surprised us all when he wore an inner shirt written on it words that meant we are all for Prophet Mohammed "PBUH"
It is not about whether he is religious or not but it is about how he cares to express his views . He will not be able again , but at least he managed to deliver very important message in both incidents
ABU TRIKA IS THE BESTTT!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes he is :)
ReplyDeleteABU TRIKA MY FAVORITE!!!
ReplyDeleteGAZA SYMPATIE
EGYPT THE BEST ARAB SOCCER TEAM
Amazing! Now if everybody took such initiative as this great man did (and he got the yellow card for it!!), that would get more of the world's attention to the slow genocide that is being committed against Gaza's innocent civilian population. One activist group that I know (Int'l Socialist Organization) took the initiative to reproduce this shirt and wear it all over America. We can all do that; just imagine people all over the States wearing such shirts!
