I thought you said it deserves its own thread?

Death toll rising by the minute. Insanity. Never would have thought that could happen in Egypt to be honest.

OK, I'll start talking about it in here.

Aljazeera reporting 70 dead now.

73 now.

Oh wow. That's horrendous.

Why are so many morons on the pitch?

What actually happened? Reason? Was it the people killing each other, or the riot police going overboard?

Didn't see the link, sorry.

Always bad atmosphere between the two clubs.. Barely any police or any form of emergency services so the Masry fans thought they'd go wild.

Shocking stuff right here. Will this get mentioned in the western media at all? I have seen very little mentioned anywhere except for a short article on soccernet.

You'd hope so considering the magnitude of it. 70+ dead at the moment. Perhaps there will be more on it when all the facts come to light.

It's starting to flow in. CNN is reporting it as Breaking News.

Security officials or whoever's responsible for this, fuck them. Hope they get their comeuppance.

BBC onto it now.

Well yeah, but those kind are already fucktards, no saving them.

This is so sad.

There was a fire at the Cairo International Stadium where Zamalek was playing against Ismaily. The game was called off at halftime. There were no deaths reported at that match though.

Facebook post from Masri fans yesterday threatening Ahly fans...

Going to need you to translate Ahly, can't read arabic.
