Two FIFA World Cup fans were kicked out of Sunday’s game between Egypt and New Zealand at BC Place after setting off a flare inside the stadium.
They were evicted from their seats and also given a one-year ban from entering the stadium.
Fans who were allowed to stay until the end poured out of BC Place and onto the streets of Downtown Vancouver to celebrate.
The highlight for some fans came when the Egyptian team, including star player Mo Salah, joined in the festivities.

Egypt beat New Zealand 3-1.
The next game at BC Place will be on Wednesday when Canada takes on Switzerland, but tickets are now very expensive for that match.
“You’re looking at probably about 2,000 bucks,” Kingsley Bailey, a Vancouver ticket broker, said.
“If you think you are going to get anything cheaper than that, don’t expect to be getting into the building.”
Was probably a Kiwi that did it
2 fans get kicked out, is that just an attractive title totally us we ain’t getting in unless we fork over the big bucks ?
Gee, I’m appalled.

Takes some kind of fool to set off a flare inside any building. People die during stampedes. Just sayin……
And five stupid heads fell off cliffs on the weekend, but don’t bother reporting it, just report the stupid FKer in an arena
Go Canada
