The attacks in Paris rocked the world, but they were just an example of the strife that people face worldwide. It’s true that every once in a while it would be good to step out of the European bubble and show more respect for the victims of terror worldwide.
It’s worth remembering that football is global and the fan in Mali or Beirut is every bit as important as the fan in France.
However, the attacks in Paris are especially relevant to European football because of what happened outside a France-Germany friendly match. There were even reports that the terrorists wanted to attack the game itself.
