DataGeneian Herald:
"There were riots on the streets of Takala, the DataGenian capital, Saturday evening, after the Puppies lost to the Isles of Koster in extra time. Due to the time difference in the broadcast, some members of the community actually believed that the puppies had won, taking on the scores of the local 9th rather than the 9th Groot Gouda time, and having TV reception cut over DataGenesis 1 minute before the end of full time due to a power failure; at this point the Puppies were still leading.
Instead, the Puppies were just beaten in extra time. As a result, die hard fans all over DataGenesis showed their anger by burning cute little stuffed puppies, and bananas (a local custom). By far the worst however was on the entertainment precinct of Talaka, where multimillion-dollar high rise condominiums were burnt and the casino was trashed.
One fan was quoted as saying "BLEEPing Kosters, they didnt even BLEEPing win! They BLEEPing stole it from us! Did you see those BLEEPing umpires from overseas; they were BLEEPing biased towards BLEEPing Koster!" Most of the fans are simply unhappy because they were told incorrect information and lost reception.
The disgraceful riots however were broadcast over the region, and while condemned by the Prime Minister, they also incited smaller protest in fellow losing nation and close emotional ally of DataGenesis, Lloegr-Cymru; the two nations having played earlier in the championships.
More news on the riots at noon........
