People complain about hostile fans in college football. In European soccer, folks literally get stabbed and such

Liverpool fans attacked ahead of Napoli Champions League tie

I figured this would happen as the Italian soccer fans are known to do this type of stuff. Having been to Naples, I can personally say it’s sketchy and you have to keep your head on a swivel as they target tourists.

Roma fans are known to employ an old tactic of stabbing you in the rear end outside of the stadium.

I’m a Liverpool fan since 2006... just long enough to have missed the last winning of anything of real value, 😂

However... watching United go into the toilet after Ferguson retired has kept me warm at night. Everyone I knew was a bandwagon United fan

I've always admired Liverpool for their history, but I've really enjoyed watching them ever since Jurgen took over management. I really liked Brendan Rodgers as well, but it's literally taken Klopp until January of this year to sort out their deficiencies in the backline. If things go well for me professionally, I might be able to take a trip later in 2019 to England and catch some matches. It's really difficult to buy tickets for big Premier League matches though. Liverpool for example explicitly bans the use of secondary market websites like StubHub, and you can lose your season tickets if you're found to be selling your tickets online. Other clubs like Everton don't have such rigid enforcement and you can scalp tickets pretty easily. I'd prefer to go in and take in a match with the locals, and I don't want to go the route of using those overpriced tour companies that are filled with tons of foreign fans. Crystal Palace seems to be the one London Premier League club where you can buy matchday tickets through the club without a problem.

A lot of these Napoli ultra groups are associated with the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia. Literal criminal organizations. This should be an exciting match with two of the best attacking sides in Europe playing. Liverpool needs Salah to step up today, otherwise I'll give the edge to Napoli based on playing at home and Ancelotti being familiar with the Geggenpresse style employed by Klopp.

I think it will come down the players on the outside and Liverpool have a big advantage with Mane and Salah making runs. Napoli is playing Insigne in a centeral attacking role now. Napoli will look to counter but Robertson and TAA should hold up well.

Van Dyk and Allison have brought so much stability to the back that it gives me a lot of confidence in Liverpool. Allez Allez Allez.

I too like Rodgers. That year with Suarez when we wet the bed the final games was awful. Just couldn’t believe it... Dooley vs. LSU level collapse
Who do you support, English or otherwise?

Bye week, so you haven't missed anything. Arguments over JG vs. KC, soccer, & what constitutes a dirty play by a GA OL.

I think it was a dirty play, as was the late hit on JG in the Florida game. I really wish some of our big guys, or any of our guys would stick up for their teammates. Top rated SEC teams always get away with cheap shots from the SEC refs. We need our players to stick up for each other as no one else will.

USA is the only squad I openly consider myself a supporter of.

However I do enjoy watching Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Barcelona, Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Real Madrid, Atletico de Madrid, Lazio, Roma, Napoli, Milan, Internazionale, Munich, Dortmund, Schalke, Hoffenheim, Ajax, Feyenoord, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lyon, Legia Warsaw, Red Star Belgrade. Not a comprehensive list, but these are all clubs that I admire for the way that play on the pitch, but in a few cases it's for cultural and historic reasons.

Clubs I don't like: PSG, Manchester City, RB Leipzig, Bayer (Monsanto) Leverkusen, Red Bull Salzburg, New York Red Bulls, NYCFC, St. Pauli FC, and Livorno - This is all based upon the ownership of these clubs, or their supporter culture.

Going for your QBs knee by crawling and diving into them when you can clearly see he’s released the ball should merit a retaliation. I wouldn’t have cared if one of our players blasted mays after one of his cheap shots, but of course we don’t do that. (Not even gonna go there).

100% agree, however it’s still asking for an “unnecessary flag”, and either one would 100% got a flag called on us. So your argument that you didn’t like Mays doing it because it’s “asking for an unnecessary flag” doesn’t hold up
