Why can't people be happy their team won without engaging in looting and destruction?

Quote

Police forces fired tear gas as scuffles and pockets of looting broke out on the Champs-Élysées as French football fans celebrate their side's spectacular World Cup victory over Croatia in Moscow today.

No one could probably tell if the place was trashed or not given what I've heard Moscow is like...... :O

Soccer Hooligans Run Amok after Big Match...Film at 11.  And in other news water is wet...



I saw one report that some soccer hooligans tried to get frisky in some Russian city (not Moscow, but elsewhere) earlier in the tournament.  The Russian Po-po were having none of it.  As in some English knob jumped on a parked police and immediately sustained life threatening injuries from "falling off"....Here it is...  Pour Encourager les Autres...

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Terribly bad luck that he happened to fall in the path of those police batons, wasn't it?

It about soccer - looting and destruction is just about the ONLY way to alleviate the tedium.

I could never understand inherently low-scoring games.  One tiny lucky break, one point, and you're the world champion team.

Gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll ! ! !

Woo.

Hoo.

I'm glad somebody else has used that word in re soccer, too.
