RECIFE, Brazil: A football fan killed when rival supporters hurled a toilet bowl at him following a league game was laid to rest Sunday. Paulo Ricardo Gomes da Silva, 26, died when fans clashed on Friday night in the northern coastal city of Recife, one of the venues for the World Cup starting next month. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff tweeted her sorrow and outrage at the killing at Santa Cruz’s Arruda stadium, across the city from the brand new Pernambuco Arena World Cup venue.
