Egypt wins 0-1, goal by Abu Trika in the 77th minute.

Egypt completely dominated the match, totally outplayed Cameroon.  It's a well-deserved win.

It's already completely insane outside, with fireworks and drums and car horns and whistles and cheering.  I won't be getting any sleep tonight.

Also, I would like Egyptian goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary to marry me.

OK, the fireworks just cranked up a notch.  It sounds like artillery out there.

On the Africa North-South rivalry, it seems to be going strong.  I was trading text messages all thru the game with a friend who's sitting in a bar full of very depressed Nigerians.

but by about three in the morning you'll want the entire team and every single supporter killed if there's another single firework let off. ;-)

Right now it's the sexual assaults of women on the street outside my house that's pissing me off.  There have been at least two that I know of, and a friend in another section of town says there are scary things happening in her neighborhood too.

Tomorrow may tell whether these are just a few incidents or a widespread phenomenon.
