Next best thing to a soccer riot at the game

British fans don't even have to go to the games anymore. They can riot in the streets at home and still watch the game. (Ht: We live our lives among giants)
Violent confrontations that left 16 people injured have marred a screening of England's winning opening World Cup game in London.
Several arrests were also made at a showing in Liverpool after what was described as a "mini riot" broke out.

As a result police cut the showing, on BBC big screens in Clayton Square, Liverpool and Canary Wharf.

Manchester council is reviewing its arrangements after five people were arrested at its BBC screen.
All this over kick..., kick...., kick....., kick......
