Argentina is well known because of its good soccer and Argentinians are recognized for their love to this sport. Although all the supporters of a team represent the passion of the soccer sometimes this turn over into violence, argentine police should do educational campaigns to reduce all kind of violence that come from the supporters.

First of all, there are people that believe that the called "barra brava" , that was a term established in Argentina during the 50's to 60's , are losing the sense of what soccer is , because the are too passionated and sometimes this passion turns to violence. for example, in this year, a supporter from Velez Sarsfield was killed by some supporters from Huracan because these ones could not support the ager of losing a soccer match.

Moreover, soccer players feel motivated to defeat the rival and play a better game, that is why some people say that these " barra brava" are considered the twelve player in a soccer match.

To conclude, the violence have to be eradicated from the soccer but it does not mean that the passion of the soccer will fade out. Furthermore, the supporters in soccer give to this sport a signifance, the supporters are the soul of the soccer. Nowadays, some supporters are understanding the message and are stoping any kind of violence.

Welcome to the black parade

2008-02-21T12:20:00.000-08:00

When I was A young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,"Son when you grow up
Will you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
"Will you defeat them,your demons, and all the non believers,
the plans that they have made?"
Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade.
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up
Would you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
Went Through it all, The rise and fall, The bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know
We'll Carry on,
We'll Carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I cant contain it
The anthem wont explain it.
A world that sends you reeling From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black
And take it back
Lets shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
To carry on
We'll carry on
And though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches
On and on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
Take a look at me
Cause I could not care at All

Do or die
You'll never make me
Because the world, Will never take my heart
Go and try, You'll never break me
We want it all,
We want to play this part
I won't explain Or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed I'm gonna show my scar Give a cheer For all the broken
Listen here
Because it's who we are I'm just a man,I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
I... don't...care...
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me You're memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches on
We'll carry on
