I heard they are going to play the continental championship.
Chelsea winning the past Champions League have got to be the biggest joke in sports history, in mens history. Anyway, I truly hope the Brazilian team beats team, I hate defensive teams with a passion ![]()

not a soccer fan, but i have been to Brasil 5 times and have seen Corinthians play and also Palmeires. Brasillian soccer is really fun too watch. especially seeing the riot police with shields up in the aisles..
They really only concern them selves with the big stuff. They tolerate alot of things that would get an American tossed out of one of our stadiums. |

As somebody that as a kid traveled with ultras before, one thing I can tell you, those people don't mess around, they are serious about soccer.
We got our bus attacked by with rocks before outside of stadiums, people getting stabbed, but I guess when you live in Latin America, that is normal, you don't see that as a big deal. The problem in those countries is that the police has limited resources and there is very little they can do about those things, its a wild life-style. From an American point of view, its crazy and it can be seen as delinquency. When you live there is normal, its part of the soccer culture, most people sees it as dumb high school and college students living wild ![]() When you travel with those groups, you feel insecure, sp on rivalry big games when you have 50,000 opponents screaming at you, but at the same time, some of the best memories come from those events, people standing up for each other, for a club, for pride or for stupidity. When you see kids and women getting hit, that's when is not fun anymore, or when you see people getting killed, but like I said, those riots are very normal in futbol I wouldn't be part of it anymore, Im getting old but sure, I admit that it was really fun when I was a teenager and I wouldn't change those experiences for anything. I hope the Brazilian team beat Chelsea, I don't like epl anyway, even though Chelsea has Spanish influence now.
