Out of control football fans (23 photos)

Now I know why Soccer is popular in foreign countries. It’s not because of the compelling matches… Oh no, it’s because it’s normal to act like a lunatic. Or at least see something crazy happen in the stands (or anywhere in the arena).

This is the reason why the sport called Sucker, oh I mean… Soccer.

Could you imagine if shit like this went down at Giants Stadium? Lambeau field thawing out in the winter because people set that ablaze. Bring this futbol attitude to football and then we are talking.

Those would be pretty out of control football, fans, but they seem like pretty ordinary soccer fans to me!

It isn’t like this only happens outside the U.S. How many American cities have had riots following some sort of championship sporting event?

Ha, some of the comments on here stink of ignorance. It’s that typical American trait of making assumptions about something that you clearly know nothing about. This sort of thing happens at football matches very ,very rarely – if at all.

its funny, because one of those pictures, the tenth from the bottom (albeit empty stands) is at a US MLS-league game… FC Dallas hispanic supporter’s group, El Matadores.

How can you call NFL football? you dont use your feet.

why is it only football supporters do this ?,,,,,,,,,

In America, we have football, hockey, and lacrosse. Violence is played out on the field in these sports, not by the idiots in the stands (for the most part). In America, the people who aren’t big enough or strong enough to play those sports, play soccer. That’s why we suck compared to other countries, particularly European and South American ones. Face it people, before you reply about how tough of a soccer player you are.

I can’t belive hos stupid amerikans are? Shit i nerly never have riots i europe but you morons start riots when you precious NFL “foot”ball team wins?! Makes no sens.. You start riots whenever some one starts a fight?! FUCKING IDIOTS…
