England can be proud of its football team, although the same cannot be said for many of its supporters.
This weekend’s derby match between Aston Villa and Birmingham saw ugly scenes play out, as a Birmingham fan charged the field and punched Villa captain Jack Grealish.

I once saw soccer hooligans throw a scooter onto the pitch. This, however, takes it to a shocking new level! A live explosive was thrown onto the pitch yesterday during an Asian Champions League quarterfinal match in Iran. This footage shows midfielder, Adel Kolahkaj, spot the object during a break in play. Without realising it is about to explode, he picks it up and tosses it to the side of the field. Watch what happens next, inside.
