Sudan's capital is bracing for Wednesday's playoff between Egypt and Algeria for a place at the 2010 World Cup - a contest that has historically turned into an often bloody grudge match between two long time rivals.
For the Algerians, it's a match that shouldn't even be happening as they were the clear leaders in Group C and it was only a last minute Egyptian goal in Saturday's game in Cairo that gave Egypt a 2-0 win, forcing a playoff at a neutral venue.
