Egypt suffer Confed Cup theft

Local police are investigating the theft of some US$2,400 from the rooms of five unnamed players.
The cash was taken while the Pharaohs were beating World Cup winners Italy 1-0 on Thursday in a Confederations Cup group match.
The Egyptian delegation had been staying at Johannesburg's Protea Wanderers Hotel.
"Five players have reported a case of theft, with the total sums lost amounting to US$2,400," Thembi Nkhwashu, a spokesperson for the Gauteng South African Police Services, told BBC Sport.
"The period when the money could have disappeared is from the time they left the hotel for the match until this morning when we were notified."
Nkwashu refused to be drawn on whether the matter could have been an internal problem, but did say that the players had lacked responsibility in looking after their money.
