You think we have it bad in the states in regard of fan on fan violence, but it is nothing in comparison with soccer violence.
I am thankful this woman wasn’t killed.
These horrific images show the life-changing injuries inflicted on an Argentinian mother by football thugs who attacked her in front of her eight-year-old daughter after a match.
Lorena Sabio, from Tres de Febrero, Buenos Aires, took her daughter Altea to watch the clash between fierce rivals Boca Juniors and her local side River Plate.
But their day out turned into a nightmare on the way home when a Boca fan saw Ms Sabio wearing her team’s shirt and launched a vicious attack on the helpless mother.
Ms Sabio, 33, was not far from her home when a local hooligan, nicknamed Ketchup, and fellow thugs savagely attacked the woman.
The vicious attack has left her scarred for life and the horrendous injuries make it difficult for her to eat.
‘He [her attacker] came up to me and I couldn’t believe it when he just punched me in the head.
‘I was lying on the ground barely conscious, and he told me to stay there and warned me that if I went to the police, I would pay the price.’
The crazy part is even though she has IDed her attacker the cops refuse to make an arrest.
