It was disgraceful and no football fan in their right mind would defend it.
However, I would say that it is typical of the US media to make something which would best be described as "non-american" look like the absolute worst thing in the world. I'd say bombing the hell out of defenceless countries is a lot worse than a minority of idiots throwing flares onto the pitch.
Football in 2005 sees nothing like the trouble it did in the 80s, and grounds in the UK virtually never see problems. Unfortunatly, the hardcore fans in Italy, Spain, Greece and Turkey do cause some problems, but it is not as big a problem as the US media is probably making it out to be.
