Bougherra goes AWOL after World Cup win
Reaching the World Cup is a cause for celebration.
If you are a fan of a nation who has made it to the World Cup finals, did you celebrate?
It is more than likely that many of you will have done…and if you did, did you wake up with a sore head?
Reaching the World Cup final is the pinnacle for fans and footballers so yes, having a party is not out of the question.
However, when you have to arrive at your work the next day or the day after, you have to make sure you are there.
This is because there is no hiding place. Your boss will know exactly where you have been and if you don’t turn up, everyone will know that you took your parting a little too far.
One player who seemingly enjoyed himself a bit too much is Madjid Bougherra, the Algerian stopper. Algeria qualified in the play-off against Egypt and the whole nation was keen to celebrate on the Thursday.
Bougherra supposedly got permission from his club, Glasgow Rangers, to arrive on the Friday but the player did not arrive back in Glasgow until the Saturday.
However, this is the third time that Bougherra has arrived back in Glasgow late. Most bosses would be exacerbated at this turn of events but Rangers seem quite calm about things.
Perhaps the reason for Rangers being so relaxed about the matter is explained here, with a potential financial benefit coming from the Algerian defender being unavailable.
Who knows, perhaps Bougherra just enjoyed an extra night on the town to celebrate or perhaps his club and himself are happy to play along with this storyline.
If you saw your team reach the World Cup, how did you celebrate?
