And they said Arabs couldn't be Westernized...

At least it's for for something worthwhile.

I thought most of the major talent there would have been recruited by the NFL by now, surprising.

Yeu cull thi' a riot?! Les show'em 'ow it's dun laddies!

If only they stopped serving alcohol at these things all the bad fan behavior could be stopped

The Sport of Peace ^TM ?

Funny, everyplace I'm reading the story says it was only soccer.

Is anyone really shocked when people from that part of the world do stupid sh*t like this?

/ they are not the brightest light on the string.

So.... Subby reads aljazeera....



would like a word with you....

For such a boring sport, soccer fans sure are a passionate bunch. I guess they wild out because the sport has so many lulls in action.

Football? In Egypt? I didn't know they liked football so much in Egy...

Oh, you meant soccer. Who cares?

English fans riot all the time.

That's why they did it ?

For the lulls ?

Do you they have sports radio in those countries?

"hi Cairo Joe youre on the air"

"aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai"

so you want to talk soccer

Incog_Neeto: If only they stopped serving alcohol at these things all the bad fan behavior could be stopped

They came to the stadium with knives, alcohol wasn't going to stop them.

Reports of a body with its eyes gouged out.

Funny how a boring game played by wusses has such violence surrounding it.

Soccer subby, soccer.

next time somebody on fark claims that there would be no violence if we were all atheist...

I thought the Superbowl®©™ wasn't until Sunday.

Did they do the time warp again?

Chupacabra Sandwich: I also would have rioted at Bob Bradley's squad selections.

/dnrtfa

So is the rioting about Bob capping his son for EVERY Egypt game, regardless of form?

DNRTFA

On top of it all, it isn't even real football, just soccer!

Jake Havechek: Funny how a boring game played by wusses has such violence surrounding it.

well, effeminate men do drive "social conservatives" to violence...

You guys realize the entire world, aside from North America calls soccer football, right?

This can't be the country that just overthrew their government because it had no regard for human life can it?

I'll just shut up. What color ribbon magnet should I put on my car to show my support for whatever the fark it is they need now.

bikerbob59: Soccer subby, soccer.

You know this morning I was concerned over the 40-some murders that have happened in my city so far this year. For some reason seeing over 70 die in a single day over football soccer. This does not seem so bad.

The only solution is to ban football in America before this type of violence and thinking takes root.

Idiots are idiots wherever you go in the world. I go to watch my team (Aston Villa) when I can afford to. Lots of banter, not much (if any) violence.

Football (not soccer US people, sorry. Its played mainly with the foot, whereas American 'football' is played mainly with the hand. Hence the name) is played all over the world (theres even pro teams in the US!!) and passions run high. However, riot based deaths are very very rare.

If we're going by how it's mainly played, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it "Laying-on-the-grass-writhing-in-fake-painball"?

You are wrong. We are talking about Bob Bradley here. With Bob Bradley coaching, football isn't played with the hands or the foot. It's played with the head, rammed right up one's arse.

/Feels sorry for the Football fans of Egypt
//And of course, the rioting and the victims and all that.

How many blonde women were raped? None? Oh ok, no big deal then.

Foot - Ball
Hand - Egg

/so what?

Sure, whereas we could call American Football "Endless-standing-around-with-brief-periods-of-uncoordinated-running-a nd-throwing-with-little-to-no-point"?

/boo-hoo I don't like your sport
//you don't like mine
///boom! The world ends!

"Soccer was created by European ladies to keep them busy while their husbands did the cooking."

I may not like your sport but at least I understand it better than you football.

Several Aussie professionals and American professionals play (or used to) in the English Premier League.

Soccer is a sport like hide-and-seek or tag are sports.

Not Football, Soccer!

/men play football

zippolight2002: I may not like your sport but at least I understand it better than you football.

Yes, yes you're right. That does matter.

Voiceofreason01: next time somebody on fark claims that there would be no violence if we were all atheist...

Has anyone ever really said something that stupid?
