Egyptians Vent After World Cup Loss

by Hamada Elrasam

   Egypt's poor performance at this year's World Cup in Russia is
   prompting an outcry, with many Egyptian football fans calling for an
   inquiry into the Egyptian federation's handling of preparations for the
   tournament. The Egyptian national team lost all three matches it played
   in Russia, smashing all hopes that had surged when the country made it
   to the World Cup for the first time since 1990. Fans are venting their
   disappointment in different ways.
