Soccer is so important that it causes riots:

Morocco Fans Clash with Police in Brussels,
France After Defeat in World Cup Semi-final, 1 Dead

Story by News Desk • 14m ago

Moroccan fans clashed with the police on Wednesday evening in central Brussels, after the country lost 2-0 to France in the FIFA World Cup semi-final.

Around 100 soccer fans, some wrapped in Moroccan flags, briefly clashed with police throwing fireworks and other objects and setting alight some garbage bags and cardboard boxes.

Police responded with water cannons and tear gas. Police also detained several fans and said that the clashes were brief and caused no serious damage.

However, a teenage boy, part of the Moroccan supporters, was run down on the streets of Montpellier during the unrest. According to a report in Daily Mail, the crowd while marching down Rue de la Mosson came across a white hatchback with a French flag flying out of its window.

When the car made a hasty U-turn to cross into the oncoming lane and make a quick getaway, the teenager was sucked under the wheels, sustaining critical injuries. He was later declared dead by the hospital authorities, the report said.

Reuters reporters saw police detain several of the fans but said the clashes were brief and caused no serious damage.

I will wait for Bobby's score service. I want to know the results but not keen enough to bother watching.
