Belgian Soccer Fan Takes a Ball to the Face During the Pre-Game Warmup (Video)
Normally, if a sports fan gets hit with a ball, you feel sorry for them, but that empathy is mitigated by the fact that, frankly, they kind of had it coming because they were not paying attention. That Padres fan who got hit in the chest with a foul ball while he was updating his [...]

Hot Manchester City Fan Celebrates Big Victory by Making Out With Her Sugar Daddy (GIF)
With just about six Premier League matches remaining in the 2012/13 season, Manchester City pretty much has no chance of repeating as League Champions again this year. Manchester United has a 15-point lead over City and would have to go on an epic losing streak just to give their in-city rivals a shot. So it’s [...]

Boca Juniors Fans Rioted Yesterday in Buenos Aires…Just for the Hell of It (Video)
Back in the day, the main job of South American riot police used to be squashing Marxist demonstrations against heavy-handed oligarchic dictators. These days, however, I think South American riot police only exist to deal with soccer riots. After all, on Wednesday alone there was not one, but two major soccer-related incidents to which riot [...]

Celtic Fan Hit in the Face with Soccer Ball (Video)
Usually you assume that if fans at a soccer game are going to face any danger, it will come from the grandstands rather than the field. After all, unlike baseball, where foul balls and line dives are scattered up to 300 feet from home plate in any direction, there are only so many places in [...]

Danish Soccer Fans Invade Pitch, Engage in Flare Warfare After Tense Game (Video)
When Brondby IF and FC Copenhagen get together to play the Copenhagen Derby, it’s always a case of the haves versus the have-nots. While Copenhagen is easily the best, most successful club in Denmark year in and year out, Brondby almost always finds itself at the bottom of the standings. That was once again the [...]

Soccer Fan Attacks Referee in Trinidad and Tobago With a Bottle (Video)
I sure would hate to be a soccer referee. No matter what level we’re talking about, from youth to professional, if you are a soccer ref you know that, sooner or later, you’re going to get a beat down from a fan or player. It almost seems unavoidable at this point, as we’ve seen it [...]

Amazing Pyrotechnics Display Encircles Two Romanian Soccer Teams in Flames and Smoke (Video)
The use of road flares by soccer fans at games is nothing new. Over the years we’ve seen dangerous flare attacks, some serious flare wars, and even some epic flare fails. However, we’ve never seen anything quite like this. At a low-level Romanian soccer game on Sunday between ASU Politehnica and AS Nadrag, the Politehnica [...]

Tajikistanian Soccer Players Brawl, Then Fans Invade and Chase Opposing Team Off the Field (Video)
Tajikistan may not be a world soccer powerhouse, but they sure as hell can riot with the best of them. At a Tajikistan Premier League match back in August (I guess news travels slow out of Tajikistan?) between Istaravshan FK and Energetik Dushanbe, after conceding a goal to Istravshan in the 81st minute, the goalie [...]

Soccer Player Almost Loses A Hand After Picking Up A Live Smoke Grenade Off The Field (Video)
Approximately one month ago we told you about a nasty confrontation between fans of Rapid Vienna and PAOK FC. It took place before a Europa League match, and with all the flares being thrown back and forth, we said the stadium looked like a war zone. Of course, it wasn’t actually a war zone, since [...]

PAOK And Rapid Vienna Fans Engage In All-Out Flare Warfare Prior To Europe League Soccer Game (Video)
The Europa League may just be the little brother of the Champions League—a consolation tournament for all the European soccer clubs who finished 3rd and 4th in their respective leagues—but don’t tell that to fans of Greece’s PAOK FC or Austria’s SK Rapid Wien. On Thursday night, before these two clubs faced off in a [...]

Polish Soccer Fan Demonstrates How Not To Hop Over A Barricade (Video)
The supply of amusing stories and videos from those whacky European soccer fans all pumped up for Euro 2012 really is endless. Pretty much every day you can head on over to YouTube and find a new crop of clips that the (typically drunk) fans themselves have uploaded. Yesterday’s highlight of the day was a [...]

The greatest soccer league in the world—The Barclay’s Premier League—kicked off its 2011-2012 season this past weekend, and we thought it would great to celebrate the occasion by having a look at some of the best soccer chants in recent memory.

Next Time He Will Celebrate Sitting Down (GIF)
Seeing your favorite sports team win is enough reason to make anyone feel like celebrating, and while most victory celebrations are filled with joy and happiness, sometimes they may in some sort of physical suffering. It truly brings meaning to the the phrase “one man’s pleasure is another man’s pain.” As for parading around on [...]
