Gate 4 fans in Zagreb (Dinamo vs PAOK)


Around a dozen supporters of the Greek soccer club PAOK were injured in an attack by local hooligans on the bus driving them to a hotel in the Croatian capital, police said on Tuesday.
"According to our first reports, around a dozen Greek supporters were injured in the attack on their bus. Four of them were taken for treatment in Zagreb hospitals," a Zagreb police spokeswoman said.
She also said that several dozen attackers first threw stones on the bus, breaking the windows, and then threw several torches inside.
"Fortunately, they were extinguished quickly," she said.
The bus was carrying VIP guests from Greece for the game between Dinamo Zagreb and PAOK on Wednesday in their last Europa League group stage match.
Dinamo Zagreb supporters have a history of causing crowd troubles, especially at away games in Europe. The club has been heavily fined by UEFA several times in recent years.

Worst Fotball Miss Ever - Fahad Khalfan


In the middle of the Asian Games' quarterfinal match between Qatar and Uzbekistan in China, Qatar's 18-year-old striker Fahad Khalfan had an opportunity to score an easy goal. He raced to the ball by the goal and the opposing goalkeeper overran it. With an empty net, Khalfan kicked the ball off the far post and missed. The ball bounced back to the penalty spot and kicked out of bounds. Quatar lost the match 1-0.
