Wow. Soccer fans are hardcore. We'd expect this kind of thing in cricket. But soccer? In a match between a Saudi team and an Iranian team, one Iranian player found a grenade on the field. He threw it away and it promptly exploded:
Watch as Sepahan midfielder Adel Kolahkaj (40) casually tosses the small explosive off the field as though it were a stray beanbag. But the instant it hits the ground, it blows up, sending the stunned players and officials running for cover.
looks like it was a smoke grenade, if it were a frag grenade they'd all be dead. still dangerous none the less.
