Egypt recalls envoy from Algeria over soccer violence
Egypt has recalled its ambassador to Algeria after Egyptian soccer fans were attacked by their Algerian counterparts following the two countries' playoff match in Sudan in the 2010 World Cup qualifications, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry announced Thursday.
The incident comes days after the Egyptian government summoned Algeria's ambassador to Cairo, Abdel Qader Hadjar, to explain violence against Egyptians living in Algeria in the days leading up to Wednesday's crucial match in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, which Algeria won, 1-0.
Hadjar was summoned again Thursday, hours before a decision was issued to recall Egypt's ambassador for "consultations." The Foreign Ministry said Hadjar was informed of "Egypt's extreme displeasure with the assaults on Egyptian citizens who went to Khartoum to support the Egyptian team."
"Egypt also expressed its outrage and its denunciation after continuing reports and many appeals from Egyptian citizens residing in Algeria over the assaults and intimidation they face," the statement said.
and this:
...hundreds of young men rushed the Algerian Embassy here, vandalizing cars and stores, burning Algerian flags and injuring 35 police officers — a rare occurrence in a police state that has made gatherings of seven or more people illegal.

What happened in the match between Egypt and Algeria established in
the Sudan from the terrorism of the masses of Algeria and the instigation of the
Algerian football federation event does not belong to football and inconsistent
with the policy of fair play from FIFA and declared that the first thing that
happened before the game to break into the Algerian public to pitch and what
happened in the Algerian football players before the match and during the
national anthems of both teams and terrorism suffered by the Egyptian public
before and after the game in Sudan and Algeria, all this has had a clear impact
on the outcome of the game, so please FIFA reported undertaking the appropriate
decision to write off the Algerian national team or a re-match behind closed
doors

It might be the sport, and not the religion. See this article about the soccer war in Central America.
Yes, but this is kind of scary as much as I think it idiotic:
"Egypt had defeated Algeria 2-0 in Cairo on Saturday to set up Wednesday’s climactic playoff in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. After Egypt lost the second match, the government withdrew its ambassador from Algiers and accused Algerians of menacing Egyptian fans after the game. President Hosni Mubarak’s eldest son, Alaa, a wealthy businessman, sounded as if he were calling his nation to war.
“We were being humiliated and we can’t be silent about what happened there,” he said in a telephone call to Egypt’s most popular television talk show. “We have to take a stand. This is enough. That’s it, this is enough. Egypt should be respected. We are Egyptian and we hold our head high, and whoever insults us should be smacked on his head.”
