Violence Filling the Sports World

In Birmingham City the fans at a soccer game rushed onto the field running, after Birmingham rallied to a win.  They threw flares at the rival teams' supporters who then in turn retaliated by ripping up and throwing their seats onto the field.  All of this chaos erupted after Birmingham won 2-1 against Aston Villa a local rival in the League Cup quarterfinals.  St. Andrews field was a complete mess.  Even though this violence has been in the English soccer history since the 70's and 80's it does not stop their goals of hosting the World Cup.  Alex McLeish reasoned that this fight should not have any influence on the voting for the 2018 World Cup Host.  Along with England, other hopeful hosts are Spain-Portugal, Russia, and the Netherlands-Belgium.  In the next up and coming games around the same time as the voting for the "host" takes place; Birmingham will face off against West Ham in the semifinals and Arsenal will play Ipswich.
