Italy football hooligans worst in Europe?
Written by mascoteer.com staff
Another spat between Italian police and football supporters has resulted in the death of an innocent football fan. Hooligans in Italy used this to torch / fight / maim anyone within grabbing range. What is so wrong with Italian culture, admired worldwide, that there are so many violent thugs taking over football there?
Is it because Italian football is so successful, they are world champions and champions league winners, so mindless criminals join in to stop the party?
Roma fans certainly know how to provoke violence, look at the meetings last year between Man Utd and Roma in the champions league.
Where does the football violence in Italy go from here? Maybe new stadiums would help instead of the gladitorial arenas present now, but Italy seems to have taken over from Brit fans in the 1980’s which led to Liverpool, boot the ball, being out of European football for years.
