The Gonzalo Acro case: where is Spartacus?

Barra bravas are the subject of the week in Argentina.

Party pooping

Catania Fans in the Feel-Good Story of the Week

0
Violence is, unfortunately, a pretty common extracurricular activity at Italian football games. So when you hear that a group of visiting Chievo supporters were accosted by bad Catania apples and had the GPS stolen out of their car a couple weeks ago, it comes as no surprise. But what you don't hear often is that [. Click to continue reading...

Daily racism/violence updates

8
I embedded a video of the craziness in Spain and Barca and Espanyol the other day. But, like only soccer can do, there's more.

Apparently Tottenham was abusing Sol Campbell. If not racist chants, than homophobic ones. And Scotland has had some racist chanting.

But some are taking it further than words. Click to continue reading...

Trouble in Barcelona, But Who’s to Blame?

Barcelona came from behind and won the Catalan derby 2-1 with two late goals, but the big news was the crowd violence. With home team Espanyol leading twenty minutes from the end, Barcelona's notorious Boixos Nois supporters began raining flares down on Espanyol fans, as you can see in the video above.

Look at the happy couple. Cheryl said the wedding is back on and she has forgiven Ashley for his sins.

Not only that, she's gonna let him party and hang with the boys without bother.

Sounds fishy to me.

Seven-time European champion AC Milan began a rare foray into the UEFA Cup confidently Thursday, and Tottenham secured its first win of the season in the first leg of the opening round.

So Napoli ‘fans' are banned from away trips until 2009/10 after they smashed up a train and assaulted Italian railroad staff en route to their first road game of the season at Roma. While Italian police believe the violence is being orchestrated by Italy's mafiosi, FIGC President Giancarlo Abete spoke of the need to "eradicate the groups of delinquents who are polluting the world of football.

Napoli Fans Banned From Away Games For The Season

Suffice it to say, the opening week of the Serie A season hasn't gone so well for Napoli fans.

West Ham vs. Columbus Crew: the Fight and Reflections on Hooliganism

2
As we close out the soccer week in America, I've got to reflect on the MLS All Star game and events that led up to it. I've always been a critic of the MLS all star game – more the format really than the match itself. In fact, if America insists on a All Star game, I suggested in an earlier post that we look to Australia's State of Origin rugby league match up and emulate their format for our match.

The Barbarian Invasion: Toronto's and NASL's 1984 Swan Song

Like the Visigoths sacking Rome, Toronto's barricade-breaking fans probably weren't aware their violence would herald the end of an empire. Following their second game, best-of-three series 3-2 loss to the Chicago Sting on October 3rd, 1984, pitch-invading Toronto Blizzard fans caused so much disruption at Varsity Stadium that the trophy presentation was forced into the Sting's dressing room.
