Algeria Takes The Champs-Élysées. Next: The World!
Comments(6)
This is a picture of what’s currently going down in the center of Paris. No, that is not a Frenchman celebrating the lack of video replay in football. No, that is not an Irishman infuriated by the lack of integrity by one Thierry Henry. Hell, it’s not even the CEO of Caran d’Ache. (Well, it could be.)
It’s actually an Algerian fan, celebrating their impending trek to South Africa on the famous Parisian street the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. The same avenue which Algerian fans ran riot over, quite literally, last evening.
The carnage – not literally, the injured were removed – after the jump.
@Joao haha that would be interesting… I’m happy for Algeria

^^^ the is the BEST reason on why your friends should take it seriously. lol. i understand the chanting and flares in the streets, i love that, but why would they break glasses of some random stores, thats what i hate about “rioting”.
Why was my comment deleted? I just meant they’re angry, they riot, they’re happy and they riot. C’mon -.-

I wonder what happens if France and Algeria ends up in the same group? A full blown civil war? :p
