It’s nice to see one of my favorite columnists,  Mark Steyn, channeling me. Here?s what I wrote Friday on Locker Room:

Maybe the Brits should begin recruiting their fighting forces from the ranks of soccer hooligans. At least they are willing to mix it up with foreigners with whom they take offense.

The link in that post was to The Sun Online’s story about the fracas involving Brit soccer fans in Seville, Spain. Here’s what Steyn wrote in his column today:

Watching Tottenham Hotspur fans taking on the Spanish constabulary at a
European soccer match the other night, I found myself idly speculating
on what might have happened had those Iranian kidnappers made the
mistake of seizing 15 hard-boiled football yobs who hadn’t got the
Blair memo about not escalating the situation.

Great minds, as they say…
