I don't think they will...at least I hope not. Serbia was awarded a 3-0 win this past week because their game with Albania became a free for all. Even the players started fighting. This had nothing to do with the players...just stupid fans that are an embarrassment. The smartest thing they could do is ban the fans from travelling. They've done that before in the 80's with British fans and it worked. They just need to start doing it again.

If they can do that, it sounds reasonable. I didn't know if taking away from the team would make the fans behave better.

Anyone watching the NCAA Championship game tonight? We will although it's on pretty late. I may have to snooze through some of it. giggling

I don't have a team in it but will be rooting for Wisconsin.

Way to go Duke!!! Pretty impressive from a bunch of freshmen. Hats off to Wisconsin, feel sad to Bo Ryan, Wisconsin's coach.

I should stop rooting for anyone in a championship game. Every team I've picked for months has lost. At least this time I don't really dislike the winning team.

I'm so, so incredibly proud of this Badgers team. They truly embodied what a college basketball team really is. They were unselfish. They were lovable. They had heart when it mattered most. Their storybook ending wasn't meant to be but darn did they take the entire state of Wisconsin and their fans on an incredible journey. And in the end, the motto from their shirts came true. They really made em believe. I'm not gonna forget this season any time soon. #OnWisconsin forever and always.

No one not watching the women world cup?

*Raises Hand

Can't believe Abby just missed that shot. I still think Team US is gonna win this game for sure.

My SIL is. I am fearful for my BIL, she gets violent when Germany in on the pitch.

Hope team USA does well.

I really enjoy soccer, especially FIFFA, but the politics makes me very annoyed to a point where I'll purposely not watch few games.

Very disappointed Abby Wambach was able to get away with mouthing off to an official, when the very same thing happened at the Olympics to Canadian player who got a 4 game ban. Brought back memories, that was an awful situation.
