whistlepunk Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 I think the U.S. should support InnerCity games. Something like: Drive by shooting - Seattle vs Tacoma Quote
Ricardo_Montalban Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Referee Mohammed Kousa had refused to award the Koreans a late penalty and was surrounded by angry players while fans threw bottles and other missiles. damn, don't mess with N. Korea!! Quote
JoshK Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 LOL, sadly it sounds just like a "civilized" European soccer match, or a basketball game involving the pacers. Good to see we follow such quality role models like N. Korea and Iran. Quote
Dru Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Among The Thugs "The American-born editor of the British literary magazine Granta presents a horrifying, searing account of the young British men who turn soccer matches at home and abroad into battlegrounds and slaughterhouses. Buford, resident in England for the last 15 years, set out to get acquainted with these football supporters--as their fellow Britons call them in more measured moments--to learn what motivates their behavior. He discovered a group of violent, furiously nationalistic, xenophobic and racist young men, many employed in high-paying blue-collar jobs, who actively enjoy destroying property and hurting people, finding "absolute completeness" in the havoc they wreak. He also discerned strong elements of latent homosexuality in this destructive male bonding. Following his subjects from local matches to contests in Italy, Germany and Sardinia, Buford shows that they are the same wherever they go: pillaging soldiers fighting a self-created war. " Quote
