Any team that loses to America in soccer should have at least one player killed in sacrifice.

Pablo Escobar was just upholding old Mayan sports tradition.

You know, for a country with all this "we dun' liek dis socker bi'ness its all swell guy and derp de duh" attitude, y'all do play a decent enough game. More, the players don't show any stage fright, as Ye Olde's probably aware of by now.

Then again, somebody shoulda lopped off that wanker goalkeeper's hands regardless.

South America is the most nasty, yes.
How about a war started due to massive riots after a football game?

But its still more spread in Europe.
The video is a bit to tilted. It's not necessarily as extreme in terms of ideology like that. But there's certainly far more brownies than for example reds within the hooligan culture.
The reds are rarely hooligans though they can be very,very staunch supporters.
The more east you (except for Russia) the more extreme in terms of radical nationalist culture it becomes. In Spain you have clubs that have their source in the Spanish Republic can that are dominated by reds. In Central and western Europe it can be alot more mixed with ordinary people who have families and normal jobs and vote centrist who just go and beat each other bloody every now and then.

Africa can be bad to. When one team lost a match in the World Cup their "supporters" tried to kill them.

Â´The reason why there's barely any hooliganism in Asia or NA is because the clubs there are often owned or wholly supported by corporations, traded like cattle and represent little more than an other form of entertainment. In Europe (I think in SA and Africa to) clubs are owned by their supporters (in Sweden for example a corporation cannot legally buy a club) and for a long time even players were often exclusively recruited from the clubs hometown area. Despite the political correctness that is everywhere today there exist rules in Spain and France on how many foreigners a team may have. It's far more serious and far more important to us than it is to you and the asians which is why some people take it to a step which might to you seem unimaginable.

That's not to say that there isn't a live and vibrant supporter culture in NA for example or even in Asia and I know there have been protests when teams have been moved from place to place but its still light years away from European sport. I think that the biggest similiarites are found with your College Clubs. We don't have anything like the supporter structure you have for your college clubs and the amount of community support that exists in your country is something to be proud of I think.

Yup. They have just taken upon themselves to specialize on other things.

What if our atheletes had the dedication this guy has. Not only is he a champion in long-distance rock-eting but he dresses up for the crowd.
