While the protests in Egypt have subsided from their peak last week, hardy anti-Mubarak protesters
still occupy Tahrir Square in the capital, Cairo. While the world was enraptured with images
broadcast by organizations able to avoid the secret police, such as Al-Jazeera, what effect did the
protests have on football in the country?
LONDON, England - A second key presenter for Sky Sports News left the network Wednesday over a
sexism row engulfing the British broadcaster. Anchorman Richard Keys resigned after 20 years with

The Egyptian football association has postponed the next round of premier league matches as a

The matches, originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday, would have represented the start of

The ninth annual DC SCORES Cup will be held Saturday, June 11 at the Maryland SoccerPlex. All
proceeds from the tournament will benefit DC SCORES' 800 poet-athletes.
The SCORES Cup places teams from the greater DC area -- including corporations, law firms, small
businesses and others -- in a World Cup-style, round-robin format.
There were several interesting reports this week about the fact that some of the best organized
and most effective groups involved in the protests in Egypt came from what some saw as a surprising
place: football fan groups. As a report on Gawker noted: "When asked about the role of political
groups in organizing protests, prominent Egyptian blogger Alaa abd El-Fatah told Al Jazeera .

few links:
James M. Dorsey, "Soccer Fans Play Key Role in Egyptian Protests" (readers of this blog will not be
surprised, as this is a fairly consistent topic in writing about the sport and politics).
Difficult at the moment not to be transfixed by events in Egypt as a wave of pro-democracy protests
undermine President Mubarak.
A funny place to find a football connection. Not necessarily, as Dave Zirin - always worth a read -
shows in his SI.com column:
Over the decades that have marked the tenure of Egypt's "President for Life" Hosni Mubarak,
there has been one consistent nexus for anger, organization, and practical experience in the
ancient art of street fighting: the country's soccer clubs.

While the rest of the world was watching Champions League final last night, Qatar's Mohamed Bin
Hammam took the opportunity to pull out of the two-horse FIFA presidential race...

Reigning Spanish and European champions Barcelona have offered coach Pep Guardiola a new
contract. Speaking to news agents, Barca president Sandro Rosell confirmed that the club had

It remains to be seen whether the 2022 World Cup will be played in the summer or the winter, but

as the replacement for coach Antoine Kombouare. Benitez has been without a club since being fired
by Inter Milan almost a year ago.
The TV news channel reported that after lengthy discussions between board members at the Parc
des Princes over the weekend, they have opted to cancel Kombouare's contract.
Rafa Benitez's agent Manuel Garcia Quilon has dismissed growing speculation linking the former
Liverpool manager with Paris Saint Germain.
