Croatians Fired Up for Australian Open

Wow, this is what we call and Aussie streak here at Das FanHaus, but its not entirely fair to our friends from Oz. In what makes me feel that this kind of occurrence would happen anywhere you combine Croatian fanatics and sport, over 100 Croatian supporters were working up a lather outside the opening of today's Australian Open. Courtesy of news.co.au:
Mounted police shadowed the group of 100 supporters as they entered ticketing aisles and chanted "all cops are b**tards". The group descended on Melbourne Park from Flinders St, hurling flares on the footpath as they walked along the Yarra River under the gaze of police on horses and bikes.
Again, for emphasis, mounted police escort at a tennis match. The report later calms down, stating that as the unruly mob entered the arena, the now dissipated groups ceased from chanting their generalized opinion of police officers. Das FanHaus is sure happy to see fans are still fired up about tennis, and we can't wait to see what flammables they find down under.
