Make Us Happy ... These are the CHAMPIONS!


A stunning evening ... a glorious night ... and an unforgetable victory that crowned the Egyptian Soccer team, or may I say Heros, in their final battle to win the African Cup for the second time consequently and the sixth time in the history of the African Cup.

A historical match against the untamed lions of Cameroon grabbed us the title again and brought all Egyptians all around the world uncontrollable joy and happiness:)))

I was watching the match with my family at my Grandma's home which is located in one of the most important areas in Cairo that always witnesses huge events (El Tahrir Square)... We all cried and hugged each other when Abo Treika scored our first and only goal of the match, which was made in the begining by the charming and the fighter (Zidane) who struggled till his last breath to pass the ball to Abo Treika who scored tremendously:)))
We celebrated our victory with thousnads of people in El Tahrir Square (My Dad, Mom, Brothers, and me)... We saw different kinds of people merging together... Hapiness make people unite and become one!
I Pray we as Egyptians and as arabs shall unite someday as we did tonight, shall be one hand, one soul, and one heart.
I thank everyone who made us real happy, even for one night in our lives...
Egyptians are suffering the hardships of life everyday and the cruelness and the injustice of the government every second... They need a single touch of hope, and small ray of light, and just one second to smile.... So thanks to every single player and all the staff of the team... from the one who drives thier bus to the one who broadcasts the match for us....
Thanks to Hasan Shehata... Best Egyptian Coach in History (The man of the championship, the leader of the Pharos, and the one who proved that after prayers and supplication ... Impossible is Nothing):)))
Thanks to Abo Treika (who was areal man and sympathised with his brothers inn Gaza Strip), to Hosny abd rabo (Best player in the championship and who proved to be worth playing internationally), to Zidane (who has a nice smiley face, good sense of humor, and who exerted his ultimate power to make us win), to hany Saeed, Ahmad Fathy, Said Moawad, and Mohammad shawki (who are a good gain for the national team and were real men in holding the midfield, defending, and even scoring), to Amr Zaki (The most powerful player I've ever seen, and who've been given the title "The Truck" for his sweeping power and strength)...
Well Done Boys, and well done Egypt...
It's reaching 3:00 a.m. now and I'm still hearing car horns, and some drums being stroked...

We shall continue the celebration tommorow when the heros reach Cairo Airport ISA:)))
