‘Ultras’ of any football club should be categorized as domestic terror groups or whatever. No matter the country, all they do is just smear graffiti, destroy public property, be drunk, starting fighta and being generally obnoxious POS. Football clubs should be liable for any damage those mfs do. And if that means that they need to raise ticket prices, good. Maybe this will discourage those mfs from going to the stadium.
Swede here (and from GBG, Gothenburg), and I can only say I’m sorry for the shit stains that did this. I have no interest in sports so I really had no idea this was something that could happen. Fuck every single person who took part in this, they don’t represent us as a country and city at all. I hope you hate them for them, not the whole country and city. And I, and I’m absolutely certain most of us, share the absolutely deserved hate towards the people who did this. I hope there’s some way to get names and make those public, I’d love to make them feel unwelcome in their own home. They should get jail time for vandalism.
European soccer hooligans are some of the worst people on the continent. Also majority of them are fascists, especially in eastern europe.
There’s a swiss football team near us that has fans that all wear khaki trousers and black shirts and they march instead of singing and waving scarves. Creepy as hell.
Then they would feel right at home in Estonia
Perhaps more mildly infuriating is that the mods here seem to be on vacation
This and players pretending to be injured on the field is why of all the sports in the world football has by far the worst reputation in my mind.
it’s kind of tragic, because smaller clubs with smaller fan communities are some of the most lovely people
Football firms consist of a special kind of fanatics. They’re there to seek out violence and destruction. Despicable really.
Fun fact. Their own club will pay for the damages.
Feeling kinda vindicated as a Canadian curling fan rn
Average football people behaviour
average “stadium fan” behaviour
Imagine if migrants did it
It’s probably good Americans aren’t big football fans because they would celebrate like this but with guns too.
Will you stop with this hypothetical shit, there are actual, real things to be critical about
Philadelphia has to grease the light poles because Philly fans riot after basically every game, especially when they win.
Philly fans are the worst in the US. But even then, I don’t think they do this to a stadium bathroom
Sounds like a problem that would solve itself
Have you not seen what sheep americans are?
Obviously destruction of property is an inappropriate response to any soccer result, but this is particularly baffling because European soccer isn’t in season. They did this for a friendly? I mean a coupla-few stickers maybe, but what kind of celebrating or bad blood are you having after a friendly?
There doesn’t have to be a reason to any of this. Hooligans cause damage any chance they get. They do this at home too. They are permanently at war with everyone and everything.
They’re pests. You don’t reason with cockroaches.
Not only mildly infuriating
Every day I wake up and feel the immense happiness of knowing that standing up for myself through the 10 years of elementary school and ignoring all of the football guys (90% of the guys at my tiny ass rural school) made me a better person.
Jokes aside, as a swede it is horrible knowing our own football fans behave this way. I sure hope authorities take responsibility and pay for this. These fans shouldnt be allowed to attend games.
I hope the hosting stadium sends the bill, local authorities find the perpetrators and all business get insurance to pay out. Also i hope some researcher shows how much more expensive hosting a football match becomes because of these ‘supporters’, and that these costs are charged beforehand somehow.
It never seems to be a great time for the surrounding infrastructure when a huge amount of people congregate, but it really does feel like sports events bring the worst…
Well you can’t expect them to vandalize their own home town.
Philadelphia almost exclusively damagea their own town. And they do it the most when they win.
Now that boggles the mind
Have you seen Göteborg? It’s a permanent shithole so damage like this wouldn’t look out of place.
wow look at that.
Europeans can be just as big if not bigger pieces of shit than Americans!
White Americans are just (usually) even more uncouth Western Europeans???
This was probably Americans who were just watching Sweden play
Considering the graffiti is not in English (or any language that I, an American, recognize):
(X) Doubt
It actually is English, or at least identical to the way you would write it in English. “Ultras” is a term for certain football fan groups. Not all ultras are like this, but when you hear about shitty behavior by a team’s fans, it’s usually ultras. In this case, it’s IFK Göteburg’s ultras called Wisemen.
So it says “Ultras”, “GBG” (Göteburg/Gothenburg), and “Wisemen” (name)
How wise of them
If it was an American, it would almost definitely say “soccer” somewhere
