A man has died and at least six people have been injured in a mass brawl between rival women's volleyball fans near the Greek capital Athens.
A pitched battle took place between fans of Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos in the Peania area. It was at a spot away from the stadium.
Witnesses say about 300 fans fought with clubs, knives and stones.
Police detained 18 people. Greek media reports suggested the fans had arranged the fight ahead of the match.
The Greek news website Ekathimerini says a 22-year-old who was driving by at the time was stabbed in the leg by hooligans who attacked his car.
Doctors said the 25-year-old who died had head injuries and stab wounds.
Three shops and two cars were damaged in the fighting.
"They were jumping on our car for five minutes, they were asking for our cellphones and stabbed our driver," one witness was quoted as saying.
TTIUWP!
Well, some of those female volleyball players are pretty hot, but I can't see killing a fella over it.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Since Greek wrestlers wrestle in the nude, do Greek volleyballers volleyball in the nude?
Greek athletics just haven’t been the same since the advent of clothes.
Go tell the Spikers, volleyball fan passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie.
Sounds like the NBA’s All-Star weekend.
I don’t think anyone died, though.
"Molon Labe!"
Not exactly Marathon or Thermopylae but I guess it’s a start.
Womens’ volleyball: At last, something even less relevant than the WNBA.
I was confused by the title. I thought that somewhere in Massachusets some people—possibly gay—started a fight while playing a new form of volleyball, perhaps using olive oil and uzzo for sunscreen.
any pics of the Greek girls gone wild?
Well they kind of frown here on FR when you change the title/headline. :) I’m not sure anyone at the BBC knows that Mass is short for that state in New England. :)

What amazes me is that anyone could watch women’s volleyball and only be interested in fighting...
Mother of all catfights
Europe pinglist.
Proof positive, there, that God loves us and wants to see us happy.
