Football (soccer) hooliganism at its worst! England fans injured in Kiev
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/england-fans-injured-in-kiev-after-thirty-hooded-ukrainians-attack-them-with-knives-ahead-of-world-cup-qualifier-8805052.html
England fans injured in Kiev after 'thirty hooded Ukrainians attack them with knives' ahead of World Cup qualifier
Some 30 hooded Ukrainians with knives are reported to have set upon England fans in a Kiev coffee shop ahead of tomorrow's World Cup qualifier.
According to reports three Britons were taken to hospital following the incident last night.
One man stabbed, another was treated for a head injury and a third was hospitalised with bruising.
Two of the men have since been released from hospital.
Amateur video footage of the incident appeared to show one of the injured men lying on the blood-spattered pavement as police and ambulances arrived on the scene.
Police in Kiev said the fight involved around “40 English fans and more than 20 Ukrainians” and it broke out after the two sides traded insults.
“Three British citizens ... were taken to hospital with wounds to the head and hands. After getting medical treatment they were taken back to their accommodation,” a police spokesman said.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of incidents in Kiev involving British nationals."We are providing consular assistance."England will take on their Ukrainian opponents in Kiev's Olympic Stadium tomorrow.
They are currently top of their group after beating Moldova on Friday 4-0.A win against the Ukraine would move them to within touching distance of a place in next summer's finals in Brazil. Author Mark Barry sheds light on this disruptive behavior in his novels, Ultra Violence and Violent Disorder

History Trivia - Pheidippides runs to Athens, heralding victory over the Persians
Sept 10
490 BC The Battle of Marathon took place between the forces of the Persian Empire and those of Athens. The battle was the culmination of the first attempt by Persia, under King Darius, to subjugate Greece. The Greek army decisively defeated the more numerous Persians, marking a turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars. The battle is perhaps now more famous as the inspiration for the marathon race. Although thought to be historically inaccurate, the legend of the Greek messenger, Pheidippides, running to Athens with news of the victory became the inspiration for this athletic event, introduced at the 1896 Athens Olympics, and originally run between Marathon and Athens.
506 The bishops of Visigothic Gaul met in the Council of Agde. The canons shed light on the moral conditions of the clergy and laity in southern France at the beginning of the transition from the Graeco-Roman social order to that of the new conquerors.
1167 Empress Matilda died. Daughter of King Henry I, widow of Holy Roman Emperor Henry V, and mother of King Henry II, Matilda (also known as Maud) engaged in a civil war with Stephen of Blois over the crown of England.
1547 The Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, the last full scale military confrontation between England and Scotland, resulted in a decisive victory for the forces of Edward VI.
