Such bigotted attacks, seem not uncommon in Soccer;

I can recount details, England tells their fans anyone who brings racism to soccer games, will be booted (the problem has affected more like Africans maybe Asians too and would be in the vein of racial epithets); Italy has had its problems, in Mexico, when the US played their, they heard chants of "Osama, Osama", no support for him, just to get under our skins. Which by the way, 9-11, probably killed, well, a lot of Mexican Nationals were probably killed in that.

Indeed. There is a very ugly face to soccer - racism, hooliganism, large scale rioting, you name it. It never ceases to amaze me how fans - with black players in their own team - can throw bananas and make monkey noises to their opponents' black players. It's this kind of people who chant "jews to the gas" and, however disgusting, I tend not to be impressed.
