I Lived Through It, BARELY
Feb 27 2006

Words cannot describe the soccer match I sat through last night. I have a video of about 10 seconds from the start of the game, Italian laws force me to have to post it later.

Let’s just put it this way:

    Rome has two major soccer teams. You live and die for one team or the other.

    Take one part Alabama vs. Auburn.

    Throw in some road flares.

    Add a few miniature bombs (not joking).

    Invite a few hundred (500) armed policemen with shields, sticks, and helmets.

    Then, see a few fights brew, every 10-15 minutes, to which cops stand-by, and let the brawl take care of itself.

It. Was. Awesome.

Oh yeah, there was a soccer game too.

    Wow. You were at that game- insane. I watched the highlights on tv last night. Roma and Lazio have some of the most dangerous fans in Europe.
