The Eddmeister Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Terrible they expect the death toll to rise higher with over 1000 people injured. Supposedly both set of fans were getting well out of control with every decision the referee made. Pitch invasions that sort of thing. But 74 dead 1000+ injured.... Shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spade. Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This world sucks. I'm moving to mars when they get the technology for it. Unless it turns out like Red Faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRaP Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This really is sad that so many people died over a sport, something that's supposed to be for the entertainment of people. Also with that amount of injuries its just crazy. I'm glad this doesn't happen when watching American Football or baseball games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceskater101 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I heard about this and its sad that the police didn't intervene but then again what could the police do about it? there were way more people on the field than the police could handle. How did they get out on the field in the first place though? I don't quite understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Wow man, thats just fuckin awful for those families. I watched the videos and I cannot believe those riot shield cops were just standing by doing literally nothing as the losing team ran past them in apparent terror and they just let fans chase them...

exo-apollo Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The Yahoo article comments section has so many arguments in it, it's quite a fun read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmaster1 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Egypt is in a state of turmoil at the moment what with them ousting there leaders and in place a just as corrupt military government. What we saw was peoples emotions boiling over and instead of rising up against them they decided to fight each other which is exactly what the current interim leaders want to keep a hold of power. Such a shame as Egypt is a beautiful country with amazing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not be quick to say how much better we are here in the US....I was at a Eagles game where these two guys beat a Giants fan into a coma....not on the same scale but still evil.

shilbo-assassin Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's sad as I bet most who died were trying to fuck off from the barbarians coming at them. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blink Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Such a shame. So many deaths over a game of football. There's no respect in this game any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
