Dangerous: Soccer in Argentina
1-liner, Gangs, Soccer May 12th. 2009, 10:30amFutbol: “Vendetta gunfights at McDonald’s and at private clubhouse parties filled with families. Bystanders stabbed. Heads broken by wood planks. Guys tossed from moving trucks. Disgruntled rival gangs burning cars and breaking windows. Fights for turf control. It all sounds like something out of a mob flick, Mexico’s drug war or the slums of Rio de Janeiro. It’s not. This is Argentine soccer.” (Global Post)

These aren’t just your average shit-talking fans. When Boca and Rio Plato play in the Superclasico, the fans go ape shit. They throw rocks and darts at each other. Many Argentine fields have fences around the pitch so that opposing fans can’t leave their seats to attack opposing players during a match.
I wouldn’t fuck with an Argentine hooligan even if you paid me to.
