Rather than support the country of their birth during the World Cup, some people would in all likelihood choose to support England’s group rivals instead, with their justification boiling down to “you’d never get called a Paki in Algeria”.
The World Cup is here – woohoo! Seriously, it has brought about a level of excitement in men that is usually reserved for when we are guaranteed sex.
Instead of sex though we now get to watch the best football nations on earth compete, nearly everyday for a month. The likes of Brazil, Argentina, Spain and everyone else are certain to make us yell like sex never has. The World Cup is the ‘beautiful game’ at its most beautiful.
However, before you get all lovey-dovey let Besharam remind you that the game is not always beautiful, in fact it can be downright ugly. So before you are engulfed with superlatives about the game let us expose the dark side of the game. Here are the 10 scummiest things to ever happen on a football pitch.

Whilst us Asians may not have made any real impact in the world of professional football, when it comes to being fans we are as good as anyone.
At grounds all around Britain you can find a healthy dosage of brown faces, and not just from the permatanned WAGs.
It isn't all fun and games, sport hurts - just ask the Dutch World Cup team. But believe it or not, as these clips are about to show you, some things can cause a lot more pain than a mere defeat. It took quite a bit of perseverance to even compile this list, so let's place a metaphorical parental advisory sticker on this article - this is not for the feint-hearted.
Got a problem you cant share with the lads? Our resident Agni Aunt is here to dish out the advice.
