GUEST42252	This isn't over. More than 10000 football fans gathered together in Cairo, protesting that the police didn't fulfill their responsibility to deal with the riot in Port Said. They threw stones toward the police. In return, the police used tear gas. The Egyptian Health Ministry said that 628 people were injured. Some of the injured were hurt badly.
