Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro after seeing Celtic and Rangers challenge Brazilian football’s reputation for punch-ups on the field

Was wondering if 23 reds in a single match might be a record but googled it and apparently the record is an Argentine match with 36 reds where the full 11 + 7 subs for each side got a red in a similar mass brawl.

At least they got a proper tear-up, rather than all the wee-guy ‘haud me back’ energy we had.

My mate from down south text me last night and said he heard on the news there had been a riot at ibrox. He then saw the footage and was like wtf.

As someone who has travelled throughout South America watching football, I can assure you we are angels in comparison.

I was watching Independiente v U de Chile not long ago and that was massacre. Fans being thrown off the top of the stands. Caused an international incident between Argentina and Chile. These Barra Bravas don’t fuck around. Not like the wee gimps we have here

Evidence here, and this ain’t for the faint hearted https://youtu.be/KG-z7l54k2c?si=SwU7xXN0ovU4hbBW
