A man who briefly invaded the pitch during a football match between two western Anatolian clubs has been found dead in a trash bin, shortly after being released from police custody.
Ahmet Cengiz, 28, jumped onto the pitch from the stands on the 45th minute of the TFF League 1 match between Denizlispor and Tavşanlı Linyitspor in Denizli on April 6. Police escorted Cengiz and briefly detained him in the stadium, releasing him after he later gave his testimony.
A scrap dealer then found the dead body of a man wrapped in a blanket dumped in a trash bin in the early hours of April 7. Police identified the man as Cengiz from his fingerprints.
Early investigations indicate that the man was killed by blows to his head and various parts of his body with a hard object. Cengiz was wearing a red-yellow wristband on one hand and a navy blue-yellow one on the other.
Police have launched an full investigation into the incident while the body of Cengiz, who was from the western Anatolian town Afyonkarahisar, has been transferred to the nearby Pamukkale University for an autopsy.
No country is given here, but I wonder is something similar is in play.
And yes, I do know how much these games mean to people.
I believe this is in Turkey.
Country = Turkey.
Wrong color wristbands perhaps. Or maybe he showed too much ankle.
Third-worlders take their soccer VERY seriously. Maybe someone didn’t like the outcome of the match and blamed the invader instead of their team.
The first principle of Indonesia's philosophical foundation, Pancasila, is "belief in the one and only God".
A number of different religions are practiced in the country, and their collective influence on the country's political, economic and cultural life is significant.
The Indonesian Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. However, the government only recognizes six official religions:
Islam
Protestantism
Catholicism
Hinduism
Buddhism
Confucianism.
Indonesian law requires that every Indonesian citizen hold an identity card that identifies that person with one of these six religions, although citizens may be able to leave that section blank.
Indonesia does not recognize agnosticism or atheism, and blasphemy is illegal.
In the 2010 Indonesian census, 87.18% of Indonesians identified themselves as Muslim (predominantly Sunnis, also including Shias and Ahmadis), 6.96% Protestant, 2.91% Catholic, 2.69% Hindu, 0.72% Buddhist, 0.05% Khong Hu Chu, 0.13% other, and 0.38% unstated or not asked.

It's a Muslim country.
My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years as he was an engineer for ARAMCO.
Muslims don't go for murder either. This murder, for my money, went beyond faiths and was PROBABLY about money.
Just a cynical old guess.
QUESTION: What in the world is the faith Khong Hu Chu, which has 0.05% of the population believing in it?
I couldn't find it anywhere.
Gesundheit.
It's one way to deal with it.
Most crime is committed by a relatively small number of chronic criminals. Most robberies yield a relatively small amount of money, which means that a career criminal has to do a LOT of them to live on the proceeds. Focus on putting the chronic criminals away for as long as possible, and crime will go down.
Kerchoo! Gesunheit!
Unlike the United States, soccer is not a joke in most parts of the world. They take it serious. REAL SERIOUS.
Ahmet, we hardly knew ye.
LOL!
Soccer Hooliganism in Turkey is real bad.
Not just the third world. It's even bad in countries like Holland. It used to be really bad in England as well, but that has changed (thanks in large part to Thatcher). But in the rest of Europe, there still is a lot of hooliganism.
Soccer "firms" are like our gangs here.
Soccer hooliganism. Goal! Goal! Goal! Thanks DeaconBenjamin.
