Sounds not unlike DC United games when Diaz Arce came to town. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/14/international/middleeast/14SYRI.html Some soccer fans began waiving a Kurdish flag and held aloft signs blessing President Bush, while chanting "We will sacrifice our lives for Bush," said a report in the newspaper Sharq Al Awsat, published in London. The other side responded with jeers, denouncing Iraqi Kurdish leaders. That caused violent clashes that ended with the riot police moving into the stadium. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/03/18/wkurd18.xml&sSheet=/news The trouble began at a football match at which Kurdish fans waved posters of President George W Bush while being taunted by Syrian supporters with pictures of Saddam Hussein.
You know the trouble with mainstream press? They never tell you the whole story. Like the songs, for instance. What songs were the Saddam supporters signing? How about the Bush supporters?
