[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCks3sXYa04&feature=player_embedded[/YOUTUBE]
well in the video you can hear an old song we used to sing whenever wydad play other Moroccan teams, in which we say:
" hak sbrdilla, jib okhtek n7wiha"
=
" take my shoes, and give me your sister" :beer
this time it was for our new enemis CRAZY BOYS who were there to support their team against OLYMPIQUE LYON but after the end of the game they stayed there to watch the next game between WYDADand PARIS SAINT GERMAIN and support PSG which provoked us and pushed us to sing this sweet song for them :D

Soccer Fans Play Key Role in Egyptian Protests
| QUOTE |
With Egypt entering its second day of unprecedented anti-government protests, soccer fans constitute a well-organized and feared pillar of the marshalling grassroots coalition determined to ensure that President Hosni Mubarak suffers the same fate as Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali who was toppled earlier this month by mass demonstrations.
The soccer fans, including the ultras of Cairo’s storied Al Ahly (The National) Sports Club, are part of an alliance of youth activists, Islamists, and workers protesting against the government’s failure to alleviate poverty, eradicate corruption and provide jobs as well as its employment of repression and torture to stymie opposition.
Protestor’s demands range from increased political freedoms, to dismissal of the hated interior minister to an end to Mubarak’s 30-year rule and guarantees that the 82-year old leader will not be succeeded by his son, Gamal.
“What we saw on the streets yesterday (Tuesday) are not just Muslim Brotherhood members or sympathizers but Egyptians at large; those are the Egyptians that you would see supporting the football national team – and their show of frustration was genuine and it had to be accommodated,” a prominent parliament member of Mubarak’s ruling National Democratic Party told Egypt’s government-controlled Al Ahram newspaper.
A Facebook statement by Al Ahly’s feared ultras said earlier this week that the group was determined to remain non-political, but that its members were free as individuals to participate in the protests. “The group emphasizes that its members are free in their political choices,” the statement said.
Established in 2007, the ultras — modelled on Italy’s autonomous, often violent fan clubs — have proven their metal in confrontations with the Egyptian police, who charge that criminals and terrorists populate their ranks.
“There is no competition in politics, so competition moved to the soccer pitch. We do what we have to do against the rules and regulations when we think they are wrong,” said an El Ahly ultra last year after his group overran a police barricade trying to prevent it from bringin flares, fireworks and banners into the stadium. “You don’t change things in Egypt talking about politics. We’re not political, the government knows that and has to deal with us,” he adds.
The involvement of organized soccer fans in Egypt’s anti-government protests constitutes every Arab government’s worst nightmare. Soccer, alongside Islam, offers a rare platform in the Middle East, a region populated by authoritarian regimes that control all public spaces, for the venting of pent-up anger and frustration.
Algeria earlier this month cancelled a weekend of association soccer matches in a bid to seal off a rallying point for demonstrations protesting rising commodity prices. Riots in Jordan late last year that left 250 people injured exposed a deepening rift between East Bankers of Bedouin origin and Jordanians of Palestinian origin.
“Soccer is bigger than politics. It’s about escapism. The average Ahly fan is a guy who lives in a one bedroom flat with his wife, mother-in-law and five kids. He is paid minimum wage and his life sucks. The only good thing about his life is that for two hours on a Friday he goes to the stadium and watches Ahly,” said Assad, a leader of Ahly’s ultras, “People suffer, but when Ahly wins they smile,” El Ahly board member Khaled Motagi, scion of the club’s first post-revolution chairman added in a BBC radio documentary, The Power and The Passion. Ahly has given its fans reason to smile, winning Egypt’s championship 34 and the African cup six times; rival Zamalek secured the Egyptian title 14 and the African one five times.
It’s no wonder that Al Ahly’s rivalry with fellow Cairo club Al Zamalek is the world’s most violent derby. Their vicious rivalry on and off the pitch has caused death, destruction and in at least one case in the early 70s, the entire league to be cancelled.
So deep-seated is their rivalry that the government insists that matches be played on neutral ground with foreign referees flown in to manage the game. Hundreds of black-clad riot police, soldiers and plainclothes security personnel, worried about what the teams’ ultras may have in store, surround the stadium on game day. Routes to and from stadiums are strictly managed so that opposing fans don’t come into contact with one another before or after the match. |

The ultras of Club Africain and ESS Tunis demonstrate against prohibited
TUNIS-Dozens of supporters of the two major rival football clubs of Tunis,
Club Africain and Esperance Sportive de Tunis, demonstrated Tuesday together, to demand the lifting of restrictions imposed in stadiums by the regime of ousted president Ben Ali.
The dozens of "ultras" of the two clubs, who are accustomed to strong shocks around the stadiums, were singing at a few meters from each other in a friendly atmosphere, on Habib Bourguiba Avenue, where demonstrators marched daily demanding the resignation of the transitional government.
But their demands were non-political "Ultra, liberta," chanted on the forecourt of a shopping center Supporters of Club Africa. "We want an end to sanctions," responded in echo those of Esperance.
Both groups require the lifting of the ban on the deployment of smoke and giant sheets in stadiums, and the release of their comrades accused of abuse by the justice, following meetings that have degenerated into clashes.
The regime of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali ousted Jan. 14 by the "jasmine revolution" had taken these measures to avoid violence in the stadiums: the smoke from the galleries are sometimes thrown on players from the opposing team or their supporters, and banners often included comments deemed defamatory or indecent.
Tunisia, like its neighbor Algeria, and many European countries, is experiencing regular episodes of hooliganism and violence in and around stadiums.
All competitions are suspended in the country.

I am a tad surprise at the turnout still from Zamalek fans, I thought Egyptian fans would be more inclined to go to the stadium. I guess 60-70% of the stadium filled is still not bad?
