Angry Belgian Soccer Fans Blocked Their Own Team's Bus And Caused Them To Miss A Game

If you're running a soccer team, you know things aren't exactly going well when your own fans start blocking the team bus so that players can't even get to the stadium for a game, but that's the reality for a football club in Belgium.

That team is Standard Liege (yeah, "Liege" like the waffle), and their fans are really, really upset with the team's ownership, 777 partners.

According to the Associated Press, Liege is one of several European clubs owned by the Miami company which is currently in a world of hurt right now. The company is dealing with a $600 million fraud lawsuit, and an airline they own in Australia has been grounded.

Now, I don't know how much you know about the airline business, but if your airline can't fly, that really cuts into the bottom line.

The company is also trying to get a deal done to purchase English Premier League team Everton, but because of everything we already mentioned, some aren't so sure that's going to pan out.

"So what?" you may be thinking. We see fanbases getting upset with ownership all the time. I mean, look at the Dan Snyder-era Washington Redskins/Football Team. Look at the Oakland A's right now

But the big difference is you don't usually see fans so upset they block the team bus to the point that a match has to be postponed.

That's what happened when Standard tried to pull into their own stadium for a match against KVC Westerlo.

Uh… yeah, they're really not happy.

"Our team being blocked at our training center by certain supporters who decided to prevent them from reaching the stadium, our club was unable to take part in the meeting scheduled for this Friday evening against KVC Westerlo," the club said in a statement.

"Attempts at discussions with these supporters did not make it possible to find a solution to lift the blockage."

Standard Liege only has a few matches left and the expectation is that they'll finish in the bottom half of their league.
