Argentina fans turn on each other as tables, benches fly in wild World Cup scene
Bills fans throw each other through tables.Argentina soccer fans throw the tables at one another.Fans of La Albiceleste engaged in a wild intra-fan-base fight in Atlanta on Tuesday night on the eve of Argentina’s 2-1 win over England in the World Cup semifinals.This stunning scene allegedly unfolded at Underground Atlanta during what The Sun described as a “flag-waving” rally and featured backers of rival Argentinian soccer teams.Fans of San Lorenzo and Huracan reportedly clashed during the rally, with a minute-plus clip showing some fans throwing water jugs and others tossing tables and benches.A pair of fans picked up a rectangular blue bench and raised it over their heads before unloading it, although it did not seem to hit the target.One fan attempted to lift a four-sided table and push it toward a fan, but the other fan knocked it down before anyone could be seriously injured.A police officer eventually entered the fray and grabbed one and moved him out of the picture, while the person taking the video captured fans appearing to throw bottles at one another.Another officer ducked while an object flew near his head before it seemed things began to de-escalate.A handcuffed individual being led by an officer then emerged while screaming in another language, while one fan stated, “You ruined the party.”Every match of the FIFA World Cup will air on either FOX or FOX Sports 1.
