Rowdy Roddy Pibes – Make Way for the Bad Guy Part II

Besides the deportations, the police also paid a visit to the self-proclaimed barra oficial at their hotel in the suburbs of Johannesburg, in a show of force. Fourty-two barras had their details taken and eventually they had to leave as they didn’t have enough money to pay for their stay there. They were warned not to show up at the stadiums in the case that they did not have tickets.

Bronca para todos – Chacarita, the Best Fans in the World?

The Chacarita fans, needless to say, went mental. The ferocity of their lamentations increased further when Estudiantes went ahead three minutes later. Their distress manifested itself in the form of lighters, toilet seats – particularly strange that there would even be such items in a stadium – and even crates of a well-known soft drink being chucked at the linesman within their reach. The match was suspended for seven minutes until the normal level of madness had been restored. Continue reading
