Algeria! Algeria!

THIS is a great article about the soccer match last night.

It was pretty interesting how it played out. In most cities in the world, hosting a major FIFA soccer game would not be a big deal. But here, there is such a lack of such normalcy, that something seemingly normal like a game is a really big deal.
I think it was really good for Sudan to host the game, to take part in these things like the rest of the world does. Even if they did it in a pretty intense way. (Half day for government employees, Sudanese schools off, tanks on every side road...)

I personally enjoyed the afternoon holiday!
