Soccer Fans; Why Are They So F'n Crazy?

[X]

Can some soccer fan answer this for me:

Why do you feel the need to riot constantly over such a trivial thing as soccer? I was just watching that 80 people were wounded in a Colombian Soccer Riot...

What the fuck is wrong with you people? IT'S A GAME! STOP MURDERING FANS OF OTHER TEAMS BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER!

Imagine if Americans did that...the uproar it would cause. The world would be all pissed and saying "Look at those stupid Americans". Shit, I would've rioted and killed Brian monthes ago.

So, soccer/football fans...please answer me....not taking into account that your game is terribly boring....why do you feel the need to riot and kill each other?

 

[Agrex]

Most of the time, they're drunk. That's why.

Yeah but so aren't the fans of every sport. Go to a football game and you'll be lucky to find 10 sober people there over the age of 21.

This is the reason I prefer Rugby League. I have friends who support different teams, even big rivals of the team I support, but we can still all have a laugh together.

At Headingley, when the away fans arrive, we have a chat with them, and regardless of who you support, it's a laugh. Same with travelling to away grounds. Even at Bradford, you can talk to Bulls fans about the game and have a nice chat about it.

I hate going to soccer games, because of this; it's honestly pointless. So what you support different teams? You're all there to enjoy the game, so get over it.

Don't disrespect me. *Throws chair through thread's window*

Because they're drunk and take it too seriously. i know where i am there's a lot of hatred between supporters of clubs and it's just an excuse

 

[Y 2 Jake]

The simple answer is because it's fun.

Hey, my best mate's a Villa fan, and Blues/Villa are huge rivals.

However, I do concede that we do usually give the travelling fans shit at St. Andrews, and as Jake says, it's fun. But then again, the players aren't exactly angels. Look at a few years ago when Dion Dublin (Villa) headbutted Robbie Savage (Blues) in the middle of a game.

Yeah, Birmingham attack their opponents and snap their legs.

Accidently. Unlike Dion's headbutt. Or Zidane's. See, it's all the French's fault.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Accidently? Yeah he was clearly going for the ball

 

[Colamania]

He was! If he'd got there a second earlier, he would have got the ball. Even Wenger admitted it was just badly timed. And he's French.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Shouldn't be playing if he mistimes tackles that badly then. What happened to him over it anyway?

 

[Colamania]

A few games banned for the red card. That's about it so far. Although there might be a disciplinary hearing.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Better be!

This is why sports are bad for you. Stick to junk food and couches people.

Good advice. I've been taking it for 15 and a half years.

 

[Luther_Hull]

Wenger's comments after the match were the best ever. "What is zis guy doing on football pitch?"

 

[Colamania]

I know.

"Vhat is zat guy do-eeing in fut-ball man-aje-mont?"
