After the November 27th World Cup game against Belgium and Morocco, rage quickly spread throughout Brussels after a 2-0 Moroccan win. Dozens of rioters pelted cars with bricks and started fires, until the police moved in after a facial injury.
The sport has become a sense of identity for people across the planet, explaining the anger people feel when their home team experiences a loss.
Brussels mayor, Philippe Close, urges soccer fans to stay away from the city center as violence increases and subway and tram traffic closes. The mayor demanded law enforcement to keep order in the streets. It is not known is anybody has been detained from these demonstrations quite yet.
