It's actually not soccer that has lost its class... it's simply a lack of sportsmanship. "Real soccer fans" is a United States term which comes with US sportsmanship. World Futbol is played with a wide range of emotions depending on what continent you are playing. In Costa Rica, expect a fight on the field and more in the stands if you can risk the adventure. South Africa... I've been told by a native, that the value of life is so little in some areas that there can be fans killed at or around games. When you take college basketball into consideration, a school like Duke can heckle the other team all day long... and it's acceptable. So, why would soccer be different? I don't think the problem is with soccer... it's with society.
