"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A soccer game in the\u00A0Campania region of Italy came to an untimely end last weekend when five Nocerina players faked injury in twenty minutes. Having already made three substitutions,\u00A0Nocerina had just six players left to face\u00A0Salernitana and the game was abandoned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Turns out, however, the obviously faked injuries were motivated by death threats to the Nocerina players from\u00A0&lt;em&gt;their own fans&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lower division football in southern\u00A0Italy\u00A0has always been a passionate affair, dominated by fierce local rivalries. In this case, such is the bad blood between Salernitana and Nocerina fans that police authorities banned the Nocerina fans from travelling to Salerno for Sunday\u2019s game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Nocerina \u201Cultras\u201D (diehard fans), however, decided otherwise. If we cannot go to the match, then we will stop it being played, seems to have been their reasoning. Thus a delegation of Nocerina \u201Cfans\u201D paid a visit to the team hotel some hours before Sunday\u2019s derby to deliver a threatening message of the \u201CIf You Play, We\u2019ll Kill You\u201D variety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess the lesson here is think twice before you make fun of soccer as a game played by injury-faking Europeans. You might not know the whole story.\n[video via Digg]&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
