Swedish and Danish ultras organized a giant fist fight on a country road



A large group of Swedish and Danish football hooligans held a pre-arranged and surprisingly well disciplined fist fight on a quiet country road while cameramen filmed it. Fans of Swedish second-division club GAIS (wearing dark blue) started at one one of the street while the combined forces of FC Copenhagen and Swedish first-division side Helsingborg IF supporters (wearing red) were at the opposite end. The two mobs marched toward each other, shouting and growling, with their wrapped fists as their only weapons.

There was a decidedly sporting atmosphere to the whole thing, though. When a man would go down under a hailstorm of fists, his assailants would back off. When it was decided that the blues had enough, the fight ended and according to Danish paper Ekstra Bladet, the two sides thanked each other for a good fight.

I'd love to get this going on in The Linc's parking lot.

The reds guys kicked some serious ass in this. I didn't care for the few sucker punches and ganging on but it was mostly clean.

Good stuff.
