I'm not sure it makes you an asshole, but it does make you an enabler. There's nothing positive about what the Russian ultras did to English fans, and there's nothing positive or pro your side about throwing flares onto the pitch.
And it's hardly a Euro vs US thing, arguably the most violent supporters are in South America. Though eastern Europe would certainly give them a run for their money, but I'm not sure, have eastern Euros killed any players yet?
Point being, football doesn't involve trashing towns, starting fist-fights with opposing fans, coddling racists (which, let's be honest, a number of Euro ultra groups do), and on and on.
There's a huge difference between being a die-hard supporter and crossing over into the violence generally associated with ultras. I think a great example simply because I follow them so closely, is the Holmesdale Fanatics at Palace. They sing the entire game, they chant, bring huge banners & balloons, etc. But there is almost never violence. And the club mostly keeps them in check. For example, they ban flares—for good fucking reason, by the way—and the rest.
There's a way to be that next level supporter without destroying the town or forcing your team to play behind barbed wire and shit like they have to in South America.

Is Florenzi a winger? if so there be a reason to put him on the left as the good wingers are always cutting in therefore on their stronger foot

They move him around a lot at Roma because he doesn't mind and can do it. But generally he's either in the center or on the right side. Honestly I think they played him on the left today simply because they knew he could do it. But in the second half he saw more time on the right side which works better for him.

Exactly my argument. Apparently they are creating a chill room in our office for customer service reps. If you do a good job or whatever they let you work in this room, which will comfortable seats and TV
