Brazil football fans celebrate the World Cup draw ceremony…

…by kicking a fan to death at the match this weekend. UPDATE: hospitals now say that three fans are in a serious conditions, with one in a coma, but no deaths
You’ll be hearing a lot about the events at the Atletico vs Vasco match in your sports medium of choice, but the images already going around South America are pretty gruesome. A pitched battle that started inside the stadium during the game, very few police on hand to quell the violence (they say it’s not their problem) and the TV close-ups of a gang beating an collapsed opposition supporter to (what we now hear unofficially) death (see UPDATE above) with wooden poles are your sporting highlights of the weekend.

Your fight video. Incredibly and very stupidly, the match was only delayed after this and was re-started after a 70 minute break.
