football fanatics being a pestilence as always

I'm so sorry and ashamed of those Swedes. Tallin is such a beautiful city. I hope the Estonian police can gather enough data and share it with Swedish police to identify and prosecute those idiots.

All these Swedes apologizing and me as an american watching this like, "so that's what it looks like from the outside to apologize for your idiot countrymen."

I have never understood what the point of going crazy after a sports event.

If you let sports become an emotional experience, I have problems with you already, but allowing it to get you worked up into enough of a frenzy to just go out and break stuff just makes no sense at all.

If the outcome of a game affects you even one iota more than "oh well" or "yay", then I already know you're of caveman-level intelligence. Yes, I'm judging raucous sports fans, and I'm tired of pretending not to. Nothing should ever get you that worked up at all. Except maybe a ton of coke. Even life or death situations should be more chill than that.

I won't even get that crazy when Trump dies, so sports fans have no reason to ever get like that. I don't care about their ages or maturity either. Getting that worked up at all, ever, in any context is just proof of lack of self control.

And people act like it's just normal. I see it mentioned after American football games too (usually I hear about it in reference to Philadelphia but I'm sure it's talked about elsewhere too).

These people need to be force sedated during the game to prevent this from happening.

Which game?

As a Swede I find this utterly embarrassing, and more than mildly infuriating. These are just criminals who use football as an excuse to hate on society.

European soccer hooligans are some of the worst people on the continent. Also majority of them are fascists, especially in eastern europe.

This shows the difference between casual football fans that went to see the world cup (they were awesome) and hardcore football fans that are closer to terrorist organizations.

These shitstains don't just get drunk and destroy things and attack people, they plan to do so ahead of time, this is just part of the fun for them

'Ultras' of any football club should be categorized as domestic terror groups or whatever. No matter the country, all they do is just smear graffiti, destroy public property, be drunk, starting fighta and being generally obnoxious POS. Football clubs should be liable for any damage those mfs do. And if that means that they need to raise ticket prices, good. Maybe this will discourage those mfs from going to the stadium.

Average football people behaviour

I hope the club responsible gets the bill in full, detailed and all. What a fucking travesty.

Man, as someone who lives near Gothenburg. I am so so sorry for my neighbors. Football brings out the worst of some. I love Tallin so this makes me really really sad

Not only mildly infuriating

Swede here (and from GBG, Gothenburg), and I can only say I'm sorry for the shit stains that did this. I have no interest in sports so I really had no idea this was something that could happen. Fuck every single person who took part in this, they don't represent us as a country and city at all. I hope you hate them for them, not the whole country and city. And I, and I'm absolutely certain most of us, share the absolutely deserved hate towards the people who did this. I hope there's some way to get names and make those public, I'd love to make them feel unwelcome in their own home. They should get jail time for vandalism.

Damn, as a Swedish person. I'm sorry our football hooligans are a problem even here. I don't known it was that bad though.

I hope the hosting stadium sends the bill, local authorities find the perpetrators and all business get insurance to pay out. Also i hope some researcher shows how much more expensive hosting a football match becomes because of these 'supporters', and that these costs are charged beforehand somehow.

Every day I wake up and feel the immense happiness of knowing that standing up for myself through the 10 years of elementary school and ignoring all of the football guys (90% of the guys at my tiny ass rural school) made me a better person.

Jokes aside, as a swede it is horrible knowing our own football fans behave this way. I sure hope authorities take responsibility and pay for this. These fans shouldnt be allowed to attend games.

This and players pretending to be injured on the field is why of all the sports in the world football has by far the worst reputation in my mind.

Obviously destruction of property is an inappropriate response to any soccer result, but this is particularly baffling because European soccer isn't in season. They did this for a friendly? I mean a coupla-few stickers maybe, but what kind of celebrating or bad blood are you having after a friendly?

Fun fact. Their own club will pay for the damages.

It never seems to be a great time for the surrounding infrastructure when a huge amount of people congregate, but it really does feel like sports events bring the worst...

wow look at that.

Europeans can be just as big if not bigger pieces of shit than Americans!
