The two largest soccer clubs in Egypt are the Ahly and the Zamalek club. And I honestly have to admit the fans of these two soccer clubs have to be among the most loyal fans in the world. They literally will die for this club. They will actually take a bullet for this club versus a bullet for their best friend. In fact, a very powerful friendship will easily be broken because of the fact that the two kids developed a love for the different clubs. My cousin showed me some fights that broke out during some matches between the two clubs that were brutal. It was like a gang war except that the fight wasn't gang related, it was soccer related.
To prove the loyalty of these fans; during the time of the revolution that just took place, numerous matches were supposed to be taken place. You would think that out of respect for their country they would cancel the matches, however they didn't and they played each other. As if what was going on wasn't bad enough, playing this match and starting a fight because of it just added on to the hassles of the country. Ahly is the red dominated photo and the other photo is the Zamalek team.
