This happens like everytime there's a soccer game.

Soccer fans are the most insane. No discussion.

that was a special case. That's the equivalent of like....the yankees suddenly becoming a minor league team after a 2 game playoff.


Most of the matches i went to in England more resembled a police state. Got off the tube and immediately there was a police helicopter overhead, mp horses and officers everywhere guiding us exactly where to go.
