An incident that one player described as "a war, not football" At least 73 people killed, 1000 injured as riots break out after soccer game in Port Said, Egypt. "It is the biggest disaster in Egypt's soccer history," the country's deputy health minister told state television. Violence at football matches across north Africa has increased significantly since political unrest sweeping across the region began more than a year ago. Wednesday's trouble flared at the end of a match when Port Said team Al-Masry beat Al Ahly, one of Egypt's most successful clubs, 3-1. Live television footage showed fans running onto the field and chasing Al Ahly's players. A small group of riot police formed a corridor to try to protect the players, but they appeared overwhelmed and fans were still able to kick and punch the players as they fled. "This is not football. This is a war and people are dying in front of us. There is no movement and no security and no ambulances," Al Ahly player Mohamed Aboutrika told his club's television channel.
