I was just at the "friendly" MANCHESTER U vs. BARCELONA match . Lone behold , As the teams walked out to start the match, each player was teamed up with a little kid . I 've seen this before in EURO matches and often wondered if this was tradition or just something for the little turds ? I'm not a huge soccer guy so I really don't get some of this , but it's interesting nonetheless . By the way , I've Never seen so many DRUNK Limies in one sitting . It was very entertaining and makes me curious about how passionate they really are in Europe .

huh?
wtf are you talking about? They had some kid with them?

How did the kids keep up, were they like strapped to their backs or something?
I hope they at least put some sort of gag on them, you know all that screamin and shit would be distracting as hell.

Who in the hell thought this up anyways? Sounds like "football day" at Michael Jacksons chickenhawk farm.

It beats the Hell out of me BUTTERNUTS...That's why I'm asking ? Can you imagine an NFL game and the anouncers introduce , " Ray Lewis" and he strolls out there with a little Sh*t . These Europeans have some explaining to do or I take it their all Pedophiles !

They act as mascots and they are given a one lifetime experience. It has been custom to do that for centuries.

I guess that explains why i don't see many games on t.v. here.

I mean. soccer is bad enough, but, naked children being forced to wear funny hats and sing while strapped to some dudes back, thats just friggin barbaric man.

We(Europeans) embrace your traditions and diverse cultures differences and try to learn more about what makes us all so different. These kids get a chance to lead their idols out onto the pitch and get their photographs taken with the team. You guys bring a perfectly innocent and thoughtful gesture down to this shit. Read your comments above and tell me they do seem ignorant and lewd.
I am not beefing with you but this shit is not on.

I DEMAND Interpol to Arrest any so-called Soccer idol Hand in Hand with a kid . This Sh*ts Gotta STOP ! Unlike Eurpoe , WE have Laws to protect innocent kids from being forced to Run around Naked, Strapped onto some so-called-Idol,while trying to head a ball with some ridiculous hat on his head ! I'm NEVER going to Europe AGAIN !!!

Whats the big deal Baseball teams do it all the time here.... Just yesterday at the Braves game each player went out on the field with a little tike. They run out on the field, the player gives them a ball and an autograph or something and they run off. Seen it in other sports too.
