Riots over soccer
 
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/soccer/03/27/soc.wcup.togo.mali.ap/index.html?cnn=yes

Government humiliates the team for losing.
Riots on the field and in the streets.
English soccer fans got nothing on these guys.
Superbowl celebration riots.

What is wrong with people? These are just games.

Never mind that the United States lost, 2-1, to host Mexico in a World Cup qualifier. It was Mexico's second win against an American team in their last nine meetings. Reason for Mexican fans to celebrate, granted.

But absolutely no reason for the behavior of the Mexican crowd, which booed the U.S. national anthem in pregame ceremonies, followed by a few fan groups among the near-capacity 100,000 strong chanting "Osama! Osama!" before play started, and after the lone U.S. goal.
At least the mexican soccer fans are good sports :rolleyes:

Whenever they have an anti-US demonstration anywhere in the world, they should open the visa line across town. Only to watch the mad dash to get on line.. It would make the running of the bulls look like child's play.
