Hooliganism is bad enough, but stoning players and fans is ridiculous. There should be a permanent ban on soccer in Egypt effectively immediately.

Why should they ban soccer?

Sounds like they should have more matches and the problem with take care of itself.

The Premier League which the games were part of was suspended indefinitely.


If things don't get better, they will start banning fans from matches like they did in Italy a few years ago.
