Saving throw against weapon-toting soccer fanatics... failed.

:(

You mean tear gas launcher? I can respect that.

Is that a LAW rocket in picture 11? Geeze, you would think they would at least use anti-personnel rockets. Though perhaps they are worried about a truck of fans busting through the gate in a bus.

Other than that I don't see any other RPGs.

Jesus christ... the next time someone calls American Football "Armored Wankball" I can point out that they need all that armor to protect themselves from Futbol fans.

Wow, when the Sudan seems to be a safe place to have the play-off, you know things have gotten a little out of control.

One of my friends from Egypt told me that the rivalry between Algeria and Egypt goes back to the 80s and has been brutal the entire time. The fact that a sporting event causes an international incident is pretty incredible.

Incredible, or sad?

Philly Santa Clauses should be happy they don't get hired for a game like this.

/Also cus these areas are primarily Muslim and Santa Claus would not be appreciated...

Oh, I see. Since the US is sending 25,000 troops to hunt down terrorists who killed a few thousand US citizens, then it is totally normal for armed guards with RPGs being called in to watch over a riot with dozens of injuries for a World Cup qualifier.

Please.

If this is the way they are going to exist, then they do not deserve to continue to live.

There is no intrinsic value to a human life. Their only value is determined by what they can contribute to society and existence outside of themselves. These people have proven that they are a detriment to society. They need to be removed.

i don't think football, umm soccer should get a black eye over these instances.
my point is that any sport can have global ramifications.
/wonders if I can be a citizen of the world?

Did either team score five goals in a row? If so, did they use their airstrike?

Predator missile. Modern Soccer 2 is out now.

I refuse to play that game until they bring back the dedicated scorer system. FIFA simply doesn't care about their fans. It's all about money.

How about a full-on war? (new window)
