Now I'm not saying that soccer/football is the most dangerous spot in the world... but between this... and the Lima Football dissater of '64 and Ibrox in '71, and Heysel in '85, and Hillsborough in '89... well, you get the idea.

Interested/scared to see how this plays out. The death toll's gonna get a lot higher, mark my words....

Update: Death tolls are fluctuating all over the place depending on where you're looking. Lowest death toll I've read is still around the 120s... we'll see how this develops.

OMG! that's horrible. :O RIP to those who died, and their poor families.

soccer is a violent sport, even if it doesn't look that way. well, not the sport itself, but the fans are. being a fan of this or that team is a serious business, especially when the best teams in the league have their headquarters in the same city and they need to face off in a match. Well, at least in romania is, i don't know about other countries/teams. Sometimes, the fans of a specific team pass by under our windows before a match and they act like hooligans escaped from a zoo or something: being loud, leaving a mess behind, etc. Sometimes they take the bus, and they can shake the bus with how they act.. Of course nobody does nothing: nobody dares to, not even the police.
