Article full text: 
Muhammad Hamdī recalls the football match played between Slovenia and Algeria and some of the serious incidents that took place during that time. He wonders how those who hold microphones and influence public opinion did not stop after the breaks they caused in the Egyptian-Algerian relationship, as well as the Egyptian-Sudanese one. Instead came a statement from one of the journalists announcing, in public, that Slovenia is the country which slaughtered the Muslims in Yugoslavia previously. He stresses that if the journalist who claimed this information would have looked at the European map, he would have known that Slovenia was not part of the Yugoslav Union.
 
Finally, Hamdī stresses that the real catastrophe is that the ignorant people hold the microphones and volunteer to announce false information, which passes all over the world. This causes many serious problems and results in tension in the diplomatic relations between countries.
