Soccer is for sissies.

Soccer... It’s a no contact sport on the field with players typically ‘diving’ to get their opponent’s penalized... In the stands, it’s a full contact punch out with beat downs and bullying on a mass scale.

Take a look at the footage. I’d venture that the claim this was just soccer hooligans acting up at a victory has more than a little bit of spin to it.

Well, they don’t have Florida Man or Hold Muh Beer Rednecks, so they have to have their drunken raucous fun some other way. Soccer is it.

France has fallen and it isn’t our problem.

Except that it started before the game. The media are trying to spin it as ‘football celebrations’ when it’s really the migrant invasion kicking off.

Hey, it’s not European soccer until there’s a riot with arrests and casualties.

Need to revamp Napoleon’s “whiff of grapeshot”, used to quieten down the rabble when necessary.

The contrast between the play on the field and behavior in the stands between soccer and rugby is huge and to think about it, odd.

Years ago 1994 to be exact I was in Paris on the Champs D’Elyses at a famous restaurant called Fouquet’s having a nice dinner. Little did I know but that night was the French football championship game and PSG won. Well guess where they had booked a celebratory dinner for their win? About half way through my dinner looking out through the windows the place becomes surrounded by a serious battalion of heavily armed police which are then surrounded by a serious mob of fans. My waiter explained what was going on. In comes the winning team carrying a trophy and whole restaurant stands up and applauds as they go upstairs to a private dining area. The police and mob remain outside. Not exactly the calmest way to eat a meal that was for sure. The mob were climbing up on top of Newstand booths lamp poles etc and dancing away the night. They were still there when we had to depart. Had to go quite a distance to get outside the police cordon and the nearest Metro stations had been blocked off so not in use. It was quite a memory.

That's a strange way to celebrate a soccer win.

Posters upthread are correct; immigrant Muslim players on the team and immigrant Muslim fans.
