12. Good job, Obama. You helped oust your ally Mubarak for this?
Yaniv ,   Israel   (02.02.12)
13. #8 Assad Stepping Down?
Jake ,   The West   (02.02.12)
Why should Assad step down? THe only reason people in the west think he should step down is that we are being lied to by our leftist media. Also, what does that have to do with this article? It is time for people to smarten up and do serious research instead of being spoon fed in the West. In the West, situations like this are also not too far off based on our ridiculous policies of immigration from areas around the planet where people have different ideas of honour and integrity. These Egyptians are doing what they do based on their fundamental beliefs. Placing our judgements on them just shows how far removed we are from the way they perceive things. Our views are right for us but I do not believe they are applicable here or in most cases regarding Middle Easterners.
14. to observe or not to observe
UNCLE JOE ,   CONN USA   (02.02.12)
where is EGYPTIAN OBSERVER to tell us about what he observed when he saw liberation of ''palestine'' starting across a soccer field in al arish . and the great muslim uprising against soccer players . thank you .
15. let's hope it don't happen here
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (02.02.12)
what a bunch of loony idiots to get riled up about a 'sporting event'. Little wonder people like this can believe the Muslim Bros., Hamas, and the Pal's and even become suicide bombers. Not since looney tunes have I seen such nuts.
16. #15 - Most Americans don't care about soccer. How many of us
Henry from New York ,   USA   (02.02.12)
would care enough to start a riot over it besides soccer moms? So, it probably won't happen here. :p

Have you ever been to Oakland?
18. blame Israel
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (02.02.12)
Israel is definitely behind what happened. It is clearly the work of the Mossad. Soon the proof will come.
19. Organizer, pl arrange such matches in Gaza, Ramallah!.
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (02.02.12)
strongly encourage the Organizer to hold matches in Gaza & Ramallah. pray that teams from hamas Vs teams from fatah. spirit of the game: the promote unity among hamas & fatah. 3 cheers to soccer matches - arab style! better if matches were for: palestinian vs eygpians, hamas vs fatah, syrians vs palestinians... peace talks very slow results... soccer matches will "bring peace" faster!
20. i bet Haaretz is screaming : "Mossad" now
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (02.02.12)
