A cow was sacrificed for sporting success

Egypt is still winless in the African Cup of Nations. In the three previous African Championship tournaments, Egypt, who made it to the finals twice, is hoping for a boost from the sacrifice animal. Egyptian team spokesman Mohamed Morad told the AP news agency that the country’s football association has sacrificed a cow to bring happiness to its football heroes. The meat of the slaughtered cow went to charity, as it had been distributed to the needy in the country’s capital, Cairo.
