FC Groningen joke catches fire: match postponed

Not a very good way to get the World cup.

True! It’s so stupid. I was supposed to be a ludicrous act, it wasn’t even real hooliganism!

Darwin awards, anyone?

Here in the US, football (soccer) continues to struggle with mass fan interest or appeal. There are several sports commentators with a national following who constantly bash the sport as being boring, etc. When an incident such as the Groningen-Ajax match nonsense occurs, it fuels these commentators even more and allows them to justify their anti-football attitude. The assumption becomes that all soccer fans are asses, who act poorly and support an inferior sport. I completely reject those assumptions, as my experience is completely different. The vast majority of fans are well behaved and understand the beauty, artistry and complexity of this wonderful sport. The Dutch who allowed this misconduct to occur should be held responsible, and should be disciplined. The manager proves his own stupidity with his comment, and everyone comes out a loser. The lizard part of the human brain is always lurking, isn’t it, and when it acts out, we all suffer.

Don’t even get me started on the stupid american (canadian too) sports commentators that bash soccer. They obviously don’t know anything about interesting sports if they like baseball and choreographed (fake) wrestling… dumbasses

Dont think football will ever be popular in the US…. but that doenst matter to me….let them have their own sports like US Football/Hockey/Baseball/Basketball …

I agree with you goose. I just find it annoying when they bash a game they don’t understand.. or worse, when every 4 years they all of a sudden think they are God’s gift to the sport.
