Egyptian foxhunting - Egypt 4-0 Algeria

Brutal massacre from Shehata’s cohort
Indulging in a spot of vicious blood sport
Wary wily Fennecs had laid their mark
No more a stroll in the park

Extending the Pharaohs' unbeaten run
Eighteen adding to glorious fun in the sun
Twice defending Egypt held their will
Blitzing eight-man Algeria by four to nil

Gawky Halliche felled Moteab in the box
Red card for the ill-fated green fox
Hosni converted a 37th minute penalty
Belhadj red for assaulting Mohamady

Lead bettered through Mohamed Zidan
Switch from defence to attacking master plan
Doubling the lead with a left-footed shot
Shafy then made it three on the trot

Chaouchi went Loco, the fans prayed
Kung Fu Faouzi got the red he so craved
Bushy tail slayers fled the scene of crime
Gedo superstar hit a fourth in injury time

Retribution for missing out on a World Cup spot
Egypt meet Ghana for the exalted tin pot
Ref at the centre of Fennecs allegations
Misr now stand poised for a seventh Cup of Nations
