You hear it all the time — soccer is full of violence. There are nutters in the stands, fanatics and ultras that just want to light flares, sing songs and attack each other. There’s a bunch of madmen out on the pitch, raking each others shins and accumulating yellow and red cards for violent conduct.
It’s a gentleman’s game played by hooligans.
Nowhere is this stereotype better served than in this video depicting a sickening level of violence between Wurzburger and Dynamo Dresden in the German second division.
23-year-old Wurzburger midfielder Tobias Schrock is the main culprit here, although we’d be more than willing to bet he’s surrounded by men of an equally psychopathic nature.
With Dresden leading 2-1 in the 72nd minute, play had to be stopped because of Schrock’s malevolent intentions becoming a reality.
Play would resume but nothing would ever be the same. The match would end 2-2, because how can you carry on after witnessing something so shockingly vile?
