Egyptian health ministry officials say at least 73 people were killed and hundreds of others injured Wednesday in violence following a soccer match in the northern city of Port Said, on the Mediterranean coast.
Fans of the home team, al-Masry, swarmed the field after a rare win against al-Ahly, Egypt's top team. They threw rocks, fireworks and bottles at opposing fans and players. Live television footage showed fans running onto the field and chasing al-Ahly players, setting off clashes and a stampede. The footage also showed images of a fire in the stadium.

Reuters cited military sources as saying the head of Egypt's ruling military council, Field Marshal Mohamed Tantawi, ordered two helicopters sent to Port Said to fly out some of the visiting team and its fans. The helicopters will transfer the injured to military hospitals.
Egypt's state prosecutor has ordered an immediate investigation into the violence and the country's football association called for an indefinite suspension of the annual championship. Parliament said it would convene an emergency session.
A small group of riot police, who formed a corridor in an attempt to protect the players, were overwhelmed as fans were able to kick and punch them as they fled. Soon after the violence, another match in the capital, Cairo, was halted by the referee after receiving news of the violence in Port Said, prompting fans to set parts of that stadium on fire.
Violence at soccer matches across North Africa has increased significantly since political unrest sweeping across the region began more than a year ago.

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

They won so they tried to kill the losing team... I would have assumed if the home team LOST a riot would happen.

I've been to Egypt -- they really don't have much to cheer for over there.
A few tear-gas grenades, rubber bullets, and those riot trucks with the huge water sprayers would have done wonders -- and washed those people at the same time.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.
