The most beautiful game can get very ugly
WORLD CUP VICTIM. An Ear source said he read a news article about a man in South Africa who collapsed due to heat stroke while lining up for tickets to the World Cup games. When the Ear source told his friend about what he read, his friend, a sports enthusiast, burst out laughing. When asked why he found it so funny the sports enthusiast said it was the first football-related death of a fan he had heard about that did not involve violence.
HOOLIGANISM. The sports enthusiast himself said he has read and written about a lot of violence during football games, most of them perpetrated by fans. “Sometimes the ‘most beautiful game’ can also get ugly,” the sports enthusiast said, “especially if there are British or Argentinians in the audience. They are really passionate about the game.”
