Milan soccer fans go nuts, throw flares

soccer.jpg Ah, sportsmanship.

This is why I watch baseball:

The Champions League quarterfinal between Inter Milan and city rivals AC Milan was abandoned after 73 minutes on Tuesday after Milan keeper Dida was struck by one of dozens of flares thrown down from the stands. German referee Markus Merk took the players off the pitch at the San Siro stadium after Inter fans began hurling plastic bottles and then over 30 flares on to the penalty area below them after a header by Esteban Cambiasso was disallowed.
Anyone for a soccer stadium in the Bayou City? Yeah, me neither.
