South American Football is Mental


Was just watching a Copa Libertadores quarter final match between Corinithians (Brazil) and River Plate (Argentina). River scored in the 83rd minute to make it 3-1 one to the Argentinians...then it all kicked off. One of the craziest bits of football crowd mayhem i have ever seen. Riot police, smoke grenades, fights, crowd surges, pitch invasions, players accosted by fans...needless to say the game was abandoned.

See the chaos here.

That's mental.

May I just point out that you can embed YouTube Videos into your blog post thus avoiding the need for me to navigate away from your site. It's a win win situation for blogger and user.

May I point you towards an excellent example of this here. If you have any other questions you know where to find me.
