Video: Aris FC – Tifo Gone Wild

// August 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Football

Greek club Aris FC hosted Argentine powerhouse Boca Juniors last week in an international friendly soccer match prior to the start of the season. Apparently no one told the Aris ultras it was only an exhibition. They are already in mid season form on the terraces. Excellent work with a big hand to the Greek police for not enforcing any sort of civil or criminal codes.

The first video is from the terraces and the second shows the mayhem from the field level. I love how it’s just another day in the office for both teams. (more…)

Video: Chicago Fire – Flares Gone Wrong

Members of the Chicago Fire’s Section 8 supporters group demonstrate how not to use pyro in the stands.

And people wonder why we can’t have flares on the terraces in the U.S. Here’s an idea…don’t set your flare down on a fucking pile of paper.

I always wonder why they have to show that video of a dummy getting his arm blown off every 4th of July.
