JUVENTUS.., I willingly admit that the latest action in Doha, Qatar..., commited by “a mob of arrogant over confident Argentine hooligans” doesn't compare in quality or execution with the historic action commited by a group of sport-interested, civilized Engrish gentlemen at Heysel Stadium, Brussels, Belgium...
