animosity in town

Yesterday there was a soccer match between Ajax (Amsterdam) and Juventus (Italy). Since it was held at the Arena stadium here in Amsterdam, there was an influx of Italian supporters, conspicuous enough with the whites and blacks. There were so many people in the city center on a Thursday, mostly clad in Ajax jerseys or spotted with the Jewish star emblem, since its a Jewish city anyway (or was).

This is what i managed to capture - Local police cordoning off the Italian supporters at the Central Station to either protect them from Amsterdamers or to prevent a clash.



Sad to say, Ajax lost 2-1.
