George Weah: “I call for a peaceful match between Algeria and Egypt”

Former Liberian star George Weah, who is currently analyst in Al Jazeera sports, said Thursday’s match between the Algerian and Egyptian teams in the semi-finals must be a match for peace.  

• Weah asserted following the victory of Egypt over Cameroon while in the studio of Al Jazeera sport on Monday that the match Algeria v Egypt is nothing more than a football match where there is a winner and a loser, and therefore the result must be accepted whatever it will be, asking for peace in this game, and avoid what happened previously.
•  
• “I’m a neutral analyst, and if I supported Cameroon against Egypt during the quarter-final match it’s because Samuel Eto’o is my friend, however; during Algeria v Egypt match I’ll get to the studio with both Algerian and Egyptian flags, and I’ll put them before me in order to confirm that I’ll support the game only. I call the African Federation of Football to choose the best arbitration in Africa because it is a special match and needs justice within the game.
