Row over a Football Game- What's REALLY Cookin' Here?!

I'm amazed by the media craze over the commotion created before, after, and during the FIFA World Cup qualifiers between Egypt-Algeria
I mean people, especially those living abroad, had been tirelessly complaining about mistreatment, indignation, and acts of violence towards Egyptians from hosting countries, and especially the Arab ones. These attacks are also being committed against Egyptians in their homeland, and the media, police, and political leader would always shake it off as: these are our brothers, they are our guests, allow it to pass this time, turn the other head, and other infuriatingly passive comments that helped non-Egyptians to carry out their trespasses!
So my question is why now, what is so different about those incidents taking place either in Khartoum or back home in Cairo that is causing such a tremor? What is being cooked up for us this time? I wonder!
Since when do all the people see eye-to-eye on the same controversial issue, and how come the government, the opposition, and the people are all united on one front all of a sudden, sadly a stupid football game, when these trespasses had been the norm in the past, and we've always been instructed to suck it up!!!
I for one can't forget the incident back in 1989 when one of the Algerian players blinded the Egyptian national team doctor, what have we done back then? We let it pass!
Did the incident of the Algerian team's bus stoning arise from a 20 year old vendetta? In the eyes of the world, including foreigners living in Egypt, we started it. I don't blame them, we asked for our rights or taking our revenge for something that happened many years ago, which we have let go of at the time.
Our untimely vengeance took away our respect and credibility in the eyes of the world, put our people and team at great risk, and revealed our lack of judgment and proper thinking.
Every passing day confirms my view of my country as a cattle herd controlled by a few cowboys, directing them, to stop, act, and go back to the barn. It is sad, but it really hurts to see my once great country with unrivaled heritage, can go easily down the drain and diminish into a pathetic barnyard!
I can't resist the ominous feeling that something is being maliciously cooked up here, that might come in the form of stand by the Mubaraks Egypt saviors for 30 years and many more generations to come.
Have mercy on us oh dear God!
I'll close my note with: "إن الله لايغير مابقوم حتى يغيروا مابأنفسهم وإذا أراد الله بقومٍ سوءً فلا مرد له ومالهم من دونه من والٍ"
