I saw one report that some soccer hooligans tried to get frisky in some Russian city (not Moscow, but elsewhere) earlier in the tournament. The Russian Po-po were having none of it. As in some English knob jumped on a parked police and immediately sustained life threatening injuries from "falling off"....Here it is... Pour Encourager les Autres...

Terribly bad luck that he happened to fall in the path of those police batons, wasn't it?

It about soccer - looting and destruction is just about the ONLY way to alleviate the tedium.
