Egyptians mock Real Madrid's Ramos penalty miss against Bayern
Egyptians react on Facebook and Twitter to Real Madrid's defeat by Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League semifinal, with focus on Ramos' penalty miss
Eslam Omar Published in Ahram Online on 26 - 04 - 2012

After Wednesday's breathtaking semifinal between Spanish giants Real Madrid and German powerhouse Bayern Munich that ended with Bayern going through to the final against English Premier League side Chelsea, Egyptians, as usual, have told many jokes about the defeat of the Spaniards.
Egyptian football fans are obsessed with Spanish football and are split into two main blocs, with one supporting Real and the other supporting Barcelona, which was eliminated by Chelsea Tuesday.
Since the cancellation of the Egyptian Premier League due to the Port Said football disaster on 1 February, Egyptian football fans have kept themselves busy by teasing each other over the tribulations of the international clubs they follow.
Real centre back Ramos said he doesn't expect to be blamed his penalty kick miss, insisting that, "When you feel you have enough confidence to do something like that – as I did– you want to help your team.”
Some Barcelona fans in Egypt mocked him on Facebook and Twitter by recommending that he should "start playing Rugby.”##
Ahram Online collects some Egyptian comments about Ramos' penalty miss:
-“Breaking: Education ministry is printing a new edition of science book and adding Ramos' ball as the newest planet in the solar system.”
-“An alien told Al Jazeera news channel: This is unacceptable. I am warning Earth people now; if any ball breaks my window again, I will burst it.”
-“Some Egyptology scholars are studying a theory that the Sphinx's nose was destroyed by Ramos.”
-“Reports claim Ramos' ball has been found in Zagora, Morocco,”
-“Reports claim that Kaka, Ronaldo and Ramos had their breakfast in Abdu Talawoth (a famous nickname for junk food restaurant).”
-“Exclusive: NASA announces that they found Ronaldo's ball on the moon and they are still searching for Ramos'.”
