> Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has caused an uproar in Egypt after offering to donate his boots for a charity auction.
>In Arab countries, shoes are a symbol of disrespect or insult and Messi's gesture has unfortunately been misinterpreted by some people in Egypt as a national insult.
> The Egyptian Football Association joined the nationwide condemnation of the Barcelona star's gesture.
> "I'm confused, if he intends to humiliate us, then I say he better put those shoes on his head and on the heads of the people supporting him," he added.
> "Give your shoes to your country, Argentina is full of poverty."
> "We have never been humiliated during our seven thousand years of civilisation. I will hit you with the shoes, Messi," Hasasin said on an Egyptian television show.
