Reply to comment by IamNotTheMama in Serbia charged by FIFA for team, fans conduct at World Cup by ladyem8

Hilarious American arrogance to always try to tie a subject into something they’re comfortable with. “I don’t know a lot about Serbia but I bet the Philadelphia eagles are worse.”

hahahaha - I was not aware that analogy was a synonym for arrogance

Oh, and I've been to a number of matches in France / Paris, Lille & Marseilles for example, and I definitely understand a lot about soccer & the fan base(s).

Sorry for assuming that about you. I was annoyed about this entire post just shitting on Serbia and as soon as someone made it about the eagles my head went “ok too far”

You didn't assume, I am indeed an American. But we all relate differently and I can assure you that the vast majority of my countrymen have no idea of the hooliganism of fans.

BTW, I was definitely not busting on Serbia, I think it's ridiculous that anybody thinks they can penalize a team for the actions of their fans unless the team itself incites these incidents. Brazenly incites, none of this "well, they didn't tell them not too" shit.
