Never Mess With Lanús

Here 's some fallout from last weekend's fútbol games here in Argentina. How the cop didn't know that you never root for the visiting team unless you're in the visiting bleachers I do not know:

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - An Argentine policeman has been suspended for 10 days without pay for cheering a goal while on duty at a soccer match and sparking violent protests by fans.

The policeman cheered the third goal scored by Estudiantes de La Plata, the city where he is based, in their 3-0 win at Lanus Saturday and was pelted with objects thrown by home team supporters until he was removed, Argentine media reported.
