Riot police avoid burning objects thrown at them by Egyptian demonstrators during a protest near the Algerian embassy in Cairo November 19, 2009, after Algeria defeated Egypt in their 2010 World Cup qualifying playoff soccer match. Cairo recalled its envoy to Algiers and Egyptians burned the Algerian flag on Thursday after Egypt's soccer team lost to Algeria in a play-off to reach the World Cup finals, accusing its fans of post-match thuggery.
