'the game is being appreciated and a reflection of the public’s passion towards their teams, something rare to see in the Middle East, and whether you agree or not, violence is a part of what makes this game so beautiful to watch'

'As predicted, violence exploded after the game; a completely normal reaction to any passionate football fan who cheered for his country; however, unpredictable events have been taking place'

This post is absurd and deeply uniformed. While a Jordanian might find sights of violence on TV exciting or 'completely normal', the reality is very very different.

as I mentioned the “setbacks” of your post in my previous comment, I think it's only fair that I also acknowledge your effort to raise the readers' views to brotherly arab relations that are far more important than football. I hope everybody realizes that, and I expect us as arabs to help bring back the Algerians and Egyptians closer than taking either side. Overall, your post helps to bring up this message but it's been stained by the comparison of players which i still think is biased. Thanks for reading and good luck :-)

I have to say your post is totally biased..and its clear on who's side. Undermining Zidane's headbutt while maximizing the acts of other players is not a neutral view. but anyways I guess your post is more of a personal opinion than an “objective” report. Plus, calling Zidane an Algerian when he was fully trained and born and brought-up in France doesn't give credit to algeria. Please try to quote “real Alegerian” flesh next time, not “blood” that has been adopted by France. Probably then, the reason why you couldn't quote any algerian players acting “unpreofessionally” abroad is because there are hardly any players playing abroad to start with.
I don't intend to be offensive but the post is clearly biased in my view
