Yeah, lets generalize. Soccer are probably the most passionate fans in the whole world. The real question is why you are allowed to bring flares into a stadium?

I'm not going to deny that soccer fans can be insane, but this happened in Bolivia. I wouldn't pass judgement on soccer fans everywhere based on something (as awful as it is) happening in the poorest country in South America.

Im a huge soccer fan. Absolutely agree that they have the worst fans of any sport. Racism, violence, riots. etc. It goes too far.

Anyone hear about the racist garbage that balotelli was dealing with recently? And Jozy Altidore a few weeks back. Absolutely disgusting.

Italy can be pretty racist, not as bad as Russia tho.

Well said.

Soccer fans can be intolerable, but so can fans of any sport if they take it too seriously.

As a sport in general, I thinks its pretty safe to say soccer/football fans are the worst. But a lot of it depends on the clubs fanbases aswell though. Im thinking about Millwall (England), Lazio (Italy) and Zenit (Russia) just to show its a issue across Europe despite what some people would make you believe.

Policing isn't up to par, the games from the EPL are pretty well behaved. I guess when it's your only sport pretty much and people take some kind of city/country identity from it they can get too worked up over it and lash out if they don't play well, some kinda tribal thing??

They do go too far sometimes. Can't question their passion though.

Football is emotion. The people who lighted the fireworks didn't want to kill the guy. It was to shoot in the air for some atmosphere. But you yankees don't know what that is. Never heard about rivals, emotions at football, ultras, barra bravas, hooligans, loyal people, passion, etc. Cause this is where you yanks never talk about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4MXFWcW7cE That vid is ultras related. They create atmosphere and are more pasionated for their team then that any single yankee love there only stolen country.

There's a difference between being passionate and acting like an idiot destroying stuff and shouting racial slurs. If you don't think you can be passionate about a sports team without that stupid stuff, then I don't know what to tell you.

That's terrible man, worse than Raider fans, it's a game leave your political and social strife outside the stadium property. Eastern Europe it looks like as well, not surprising.....
