Oh those soccer fans

While walking out of my Greek myth and religion class, I heard loud singing.  To the left of the academic center, right next to the Olympic Stadium, were a bunch of shirtless men.  Apparently, these were Croatians who were quite drunk.  We were told that we should stay away from them and that the police were coming.  From the third floor on the balcony we could see everything that was going on.  Right next to us is the Olympic Stadium where a mob of men decided to congregate, with more coming all the time.  We couldn't figure out why they decided to go there.  These men were gathering there to go to a soccer game that was 20 minutes away and started at 10--5 hours from the time they started to come.    

Eventually the police came, as well as the riot squad with their shields.  Then something happened and beer bottles and chairs were thrown and there were even some arrests. A pretty exciting day.
