    Well they were going to cut loose at some point, outrageous behaviour just when people were getting used to their peacefulness.

    Err by the sounds of it that could hardly be called a riot Mike. More likely heavy South African Police response to a load of happy New Zealand fans who stayed after the game in the stadium to celebrate.

    Just an over the top response from SA police.

    They were happy that their team had drawn,"
    The goalless draw was enough to ensure Paraguay finished top of Group F
    "We will not go through another World Cup unbeaten.

    See, even despite Landon Donovans heroics this week, this is why most Americans will never truly "get" saaaakkkker.

    I am going to hazzard a guess that the OP was somewhat tongue in cheek.
