Hopefully not a sign of things to come in 2014.

Atletico PR vs. Vasco Delayed After Riot Breaks Out in Stands. The violence was so uncontrollable that a military helicopter landed on the pitch to restore order.

All eyes are on Brazil as it prepares to host the World Cup in 2014, and there may now be reason for concern after violence broke out on Sunday during a Brazilian Serie A match in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil.

According to Ed Malyon of Mirror Football, fans began to fight in the stands just 10 minutes into the match between Atletico Paranaense and Vasco da Gama.
