Good ol' fashioned beating

7-0 if Haaland gets some luck.
Grealish had RM befuddled.

No contest.

Courtois was amazing, would have been 8-0 without him

One of the worst career matches by Modric legend

End is sadly near

Old and he also had a deep run with Croatia during a mid-season WC,
It was bound to happen

He was great at Spurs as well.
They could use him back even if he can’t move as their younger midfielders (Skipp) can’t move anyways.

I remember watching a Spurs match and was impressed with Luka. then he had bossed Barcelona’s midfielders vs Spain and was hoping that he would play for Madrid one day, I was really ecstatic when it actually happened :lol

One of you know how’s post that West Ham mountain of a fan taking on the whole rabid other squads fans

Known as "Knollsy"

Dude is huge and positioned himself perfectly at the top of the steps and just wailed away at AZ ultras trying to come up the stairs.

Also he had help to the right with a guy kicking AZ ultras trying to come up the stairs.
I read about the account and apparently the AZ thugs tried to pull him down the stairs and he just hit them and tossed them back into their other thug friends trying to come up.
Perfect spot for a giant. Fairly enclosed space and you have one way up to meet him.

Now after the above. It should be noted that West Ham has their own hooligans that will punch people out if they have the chance.
West ham is a much rougher neighborhood than any of the other big London teams. They are not angels.

[GAustex]

Well done

[GAustex]

Dude and his friend will never buy a beer again in West Ham.
A heroic stand really.
I bet them English will sing a song about Knollsy.

Italy and a number of other countries (S. America included) have these fans who are called Ultras and just look for fights.
They even arrange fights with other ultras before matches.
The team ownership let them come even though they know they are trouble.
Italy has seen owners and announcers begging their Ultras to not fight DURING GAME STOPPAGES.
There is some very poor crowd control at some venues. It has gotten better in Western Europe.

On the flip side. Silva. He absolutely set the tone and was the best player in the 1st Half. Goals aside.

City looked decisive and direct. Only a scruffy Italian side could derail this Pep squad in the Finale.

Buddy, you are simplifying it too much. Ultras at big Clubs are a program. A low end mafia. They don't just let in any bum off the street. You gotta earn your position. They have a hierarchy and thus control the anarchy that would more frequently occur.

Ultras fight and stomp trouble makers that tarnish their reputation. Don't make it seem like it's a free for all.

[FrostKing]

If someone acts out they will be dealt with. That's the beauty of Ultras. The Top guys communicate with Club officials to control the otherwise anarchy. This isn't America with gated communities and bodyguards. Need a middle man.

Buddy.

Ultras differ widely depending on the country.
In South America some practically run specific clubs. They threaten management and players.
In Eastern Europe they are basically fight clubs.

If you want to simplify it write a book here.
And you don’t need to as it’s already been done.
Dont try to pump all fight clubs up into controlling anarchy, that’s stupidity and basically wrong.

[pgardn]

Lol frosty used zmexico as an example!
Frosty?

What police force do you trust in Mexico?
What police force in Mexico is NOT on the take?

‘Maybe but it wouldn’t have made a difference the way both teams played
