	Quote: Egypt's parliament has scheduled a special session on Thursday to probe the causes of a riot at a soccer game that left more than 70 people dead and 1,000 injured. Officials in Port Said, where the violence occurred on Wednesday, raised the death toll to 73 after fans of rival soccer teams rushed the field, hurling stones and sticks at each other and sparking a stampede. Citing the Health Ministry, state television reported another 1,000 people were injured in the riot. Witnesses said most of the deaths appeared to have occurred in a stampede after fans of the home team, Al-Masry, stormed on to the field following an upset 3-1 victory against Al-Ahly, Egypt's top team whose home is Cairo.

someone make a joke.

2 fierce rivals, home team won 3-1 and at the game's finale home fans ran on pitch and attacked opposition players/fans. Load of them armed with knives apparently.

It should be noted that this is merely "one of the worst" sports violence incidents in Egypt's history.

How Muslim propaganda media will spin the story:

A stampede broke out among peaceful Allah fearing Egyptians attending a friendly match of futbol, when the powerful and unjust military forces attacked without warning.
The Jews were claiming the pitch as their land and should be apart a Israel, along with U.S. backed forces a preemptive strike was carried out. Unarmed and surprised spectators were caught in a struggle of defensive retaliation and the panic of fleeing to safety.

Here's the story from one of the supporters viewpoint. Not surprisingly it's very different from what massmedia is telling us:
