NP-Italian Football

[Andreis Passarinho]

its really sad to see violence and fascism in Italian supporters, reminds
me of the violence in brazilian organized support groups (which can be
awesome, but often end up killing people, because no one cares enough to
keep them safe).

but the going-to-the-Opera crowds at EPL and La Liga are embarassing, to
me. they look like baseball fans (which I say as an insult).

german supporters rock, and it possibly doesnt hurt Europe to give those
guys some nice outlets for mostly harmless symbolic violence (this is a
joke btw)
