A group of neo-Nazis had to cancel a planned demonstration in the southwest German city of Freiburg Saturday after they mistakenly boarded the wrong train and ended up in Mannheim, a good 123 miles away. Fewer than 20 members of the National Democratic Party (NPD) had been all ready to protest in Freiburg, but police prevented them from getting on the train they wanted because it was already carrying a group of far-left soccer fans on their way to a game, and the police didn't want any riots on the train. (Does the Guardian tell us what city this train was departing from? It does not. This is basic journamalism, chaps.)
I found St Pauli by googling for far-left German football fans, but they seem to have been playing the Danish club Silkeborg at home on Saturday. Freiburg were at home to Eintracht, but Wikipedia is silent on the politics of those teams' supporters. That the Grauniad didn't mention the team is another reason for C.P. Scott to spin in his grave.
Say, you know who <i>else</i> held rallies in Germany? Oh wait. This story is pre-Godwin&#039;ed. So ... um ... um ... how about that game, eh?
Ain&#039;t nuthin! Them crazy-ass Byzantines had a sportsball/political riot that killed 30k!

When the rally is rescheduled, the Polizei need to get Lebeau and Kinchloe to create a diversion.
this is the best story.

It was worth watching. I learned that 50% of land sharks can dance.
