Soccer Fans in Prague Get Pretty Worked Up Over the Prague Derby (Video)
We’re pretty accustomed to seeing soccer fans brawl and riot before, during and after significant matches.

Back in the day, the main job of South American riot police used to be squashing Marxist demonstrations against heavy-handed oligarchic dictators.
