NASIRIYAH, Iraq — An Iraqi Real Madrid supporter had to pay a fan of rival Barcelona $1,700 (1,215 euros) after a row over a disallowed Champions League goal was resolved by their tribes, a relative said Monday.
The two-million Iraqi dinar fine settled the dispute that erupted after a controversial decision to rule out a goal by Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain for a foul by teammate Christiano Ronaldo in the second leg of the Spanish clubs’ May 3 Champions League semi-final in Barcelona.
Haidar Samir, a 25-year-old Madrid supporter, and Hassan Attar, a 23-year-old civil servant and Barcelona fan, got into the argument while watching the match in a cafe in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah.
“They argued about whether the goal was valid or not, and they began to insult each other and fight,” said Haidar al-Hamdani, a cousin of Haidar Samir.
Representatives of both of their tribes were eventually called in to resolve the dispute, and initially agreed that Haidar would hand over 12 million Iraqi dinars ($10,200/7,290 euros), before that amount was reduced to the final fine.

That reminds me. I still owe Ed Craig $20 for insulting his tribe on St. Patrick’s Day. Check’s in the mail, buddy!
