Dunno bout DaGeneral, but my "here" is in Massachusetts, where we've had a few too many ]racases after youth or high school sporting events...parking lot grudges, that sort of thing. Last year there was a stabbing following a high school hockey final; this past weekend, some fans got into it after a high school basketball game, resulting in another stabbing. When someone gets stabbed and doesn't die, it isn't by design, it's by dumb luck. So, yeah, I would say that it pretty much has happened here, at least in my "here".
I remember the good old days when the other team would just throw rocks at our bus. (That was in Mass., too.)
Man - you know things are serious when even Sepp Blatter is finding his belief is being beggared. Furthermore - I've yet to see a match that finished 3-0 where you could reasonably blame the keeper for the loss (unless it was Dudek). Also, what billy said - a 3-0 loss to Nigeria sounds like a good day for Benin to me.
