Amr Khaled: I am fan of Algeria

Islamic preacher Amr Khaled said Wednesday he will support the Algerian football team in world Cup 2010. Speaking about his new TV show, he told Echorouk he is proud of that two Algerian young men will participate in it.

• “I prefer to not say anything about the last media war between Algeria and Egypt. I want to protect my reputation from making statements in such events,” he said.
•  
• He believes that neither Algeria nor Egypt will qualify to the World Cup, saying Côte d’Ivoire is likely to win it this year.
•  
• He promised to support the Algerian players in South Africa. “It is obvious that I support Algeria. I am Egyptian and I love Egypt. I am Arab and support any Arab and Muslim country.”
