Current Soccer hooliganism

In the article "An Ugly Return to Fan Violence" Rob Hughes, a NY times correspondent, explains how soccer hooliganism has once again shown its ugly face on the world stage in a game between Italy and Serbia. This 2012 Euro qualifier game, played in Genoa, Italy on October 13, 2010, is a soccer hooliganism at its best. The unrest began when the Italian fans booed the Serbia national anthem and then a few minutes later when a four Italian soldiers' death in Afghanistan were suppose to be honored, the Serbian fans booed back. Then during the first six minutes of the game, flares were thrown onto the field allegeable by a Belgrade gang called the Grobari (Gravediggers in English). From there many people tried to rush onto the field and riot police attempted to stop the crowds of masked men throwing the Nazi salute into the air. This game shows how a political tension stirred with a bitter rivalry can cause mass chaos.

Surprisingly the U.S. is not immune to soccer's antics. As the debate over Hosni Mubarek is a fit president for Egypt continues in the streets of Cairo and Alexandria, the argument over who has the best foot skills will not be settled on the pitch for sometime now. In "U.S.-Egypt match canceled" ESPN lays out that this game, which was suppose to be played in Cairo is cancelled in an attempt to avoid hooliganism and other related violence. Interesting... the U.S. is canceling soccer games. I wonder if this would be cancelled if this was a football game vs. Egypt?
