Several weeks before the November 14 game in Cairo, they paved the way for a smart plan to come into effect.
A media campaign saw numerous Algerian papers hurl insults at the Egyptian national team and the supporters on a daily basis as well as drawing cartoons to mock the players and coach Hassan Shehata.
The then inexplicable campaign astonished Egyptians, who are known for their friendly and warm dealings with foreigners and visitors and who never grabbed headlines for the wrong reasons, unlike the Algerian supporters who kill each others in league games.
When Algeria arrived in Cairo to face Egypt in the November 14 decisive World Cup qualifier, some Egyptians, in a rush of blood to the head due to the Algerian media attack on the Pharaohs, threw some stones which caused minor damages to the visiting team's bus.
Our North African rivals knew how to take advantage of that incident, which Egypt were subjected to on numerous occasions during their many visits to Algeria but declined to complain to 'maintain the brother relationship with their fellow Arab country'.
Algeria think in a more effective way, they never consider such relations. They do not care.
Three Algerian players were photographed with apparent head wounds, which they strangely did not treat for several hours to show all people that they were hurt.
FIFA's representative expectedly included that incident in his report and warned Egypt ahead of the game.
The Pharaohs won 2-0 to force a playoff in Sudan and the Algerian ugly newspapers, especially the one called Echorouk, further escalated the matter by publishing fake reports saying eight citizens were killed in Cairo after the game.
The Algerian ambassador to Cairo denied those reports but the country had already planned to take revenge.
An Algerian fan posted a video on YouTube saying they would not go to Sudan to attend a football match but to kill Egyptians.
Military planes took thousands of Algerians to Sudan where they bought knives and blades to be ready for war.
Egypt's bus was stoned before the game but, unfortunately, the Egyptian FA officials did not act like their Algerian counterparts, saying they did not want to further strain the relationship.
After Wednesday's match which Algeria won 1-0 to reach the World Cup, Algerian supporters chased every single Egyptian in the streets of Khartoum and injured many of them with their weapons.
The Egyptian delegation included the president's two sons Gamal and Alaa Mubarak and prominent actors, actresses, journalists and TV presenters who survived death and reached the airport in the early hours of the following day.
This is the whole story and this is how Algeria managed to convince European media they were just victims. This is a serious problem because when they write about what happened in Sudan, they say "Egypt alleges".
We should now step up our efforts to prove that we suffered in Sudan because FIFA will seemingly punish Egypt for the Cairo incidents. The world governing body should not turn a blind eye to the Sudan riots.
There are many pictures showing Algerian fans waving their weapons at Al-Merreikh Stadium in Omdurman, the Egyptian FA should use them as clear evidence on the unfortunate incidents.
