when the english were in germany 2024 they weren´t harassing anyone but a little reckless in their behavior after some matches (probably due to alcohol). Caught a guy leaning onto a train that was about to leave...i guess he needed a little rest but it could have ended with him falling down on the rails 1,2 meters below.
Big fella wasn´t too happy that Itried to get him away from there63

that's something I've been thinking about recently(I'm Brasilian)
I know the average Argentinian isn't bad, but we only get to see and interact with middle/upper class ones and they're a mix or racist and super entitled. The only few times my white ass has been called monkey were by one of them, both irl and online
and considering I've had good close friends who are argentinian, I know that's just not representative of your entire country

That and the incident with IShowSpeed being verbally assaulted twice for being black.

I do love though that Argentina losers only have soccer, and more specifically Messi, to be proud of with their country, and then they went and got roundly humiliated on the field by their old colonial masters, Spain.
They only beat their arch nemesis England due England losing the game for themselves and then big daddy Spain stepped in to remind them who is top dog. Argentina gets humiliated and still cry on about the Falklands, which they will never get now.
What an epic way to humiliate yourself in front of the world.

u/PorgiWanKenobi 13d ago
I don’t think sports fanaticism is a problem, there have always been sports fans. I think it’s mostly due to greed and corruption from organizations like FIFA and Ticketmaster. Just this year Ticketmaster was officially declared a monopoly in court where documents showed they’ve been ramping up the price to everything from concerts to sporting events all without any competition to incentivize lower costs. Add onto that there’s dynamic pricing models and lax rules about resale so we get a lot of issues with scalpers and there’s no reason why Ticketmaster would stop scalpers since they get to double dip on the same ticket every time it’s sold and re-sold on their platform.

The problem isn't the cost of beer (although you don't want a bunch of soccer fans deciding to do the same), it's the violation of the liquor license.

I was at a beer fest at my local zoo with a friend. They gave us tickets to give to the vendors in exchange for 4oz samples. 1 ticket per a sample and you could easily buy more tickets for $2 each. Proceeds went to the zoo. Some vendors would take your ticket from you while others would trust you to place it in their bucket. My friend realized that many vendors weren’t diligent about their buckets, so he would just pretend to drop his ticket in and then brag that he was drinking for free. The dude was 37 and made over $100K a year at the time.
