No Hooliganism?
Has there really not been any hooliganism from fans of any nation at this World Cup? I’ve not read any reports of it. Very impressive if that’s the case

re Canary's comment....
I took my daughter up to Leeds for Uni and she has a lovely studio apartment right in the centre. It was Tuesday when she moved in and there were plenty of fans around and police. She got her introduction to Yorkshire 'humour' at 2.30 in the morning, waking to the sound of the police in front of her block. Turns out it was a drunken football fan, his England shirt up over his nipples and that was it - so, in other words, he was stark-bolllock naked. The police were there, the line of questioning -
"Now what do you think young children or girls would think if they saw you like this?"
His response in the local burr, "They shud alll be in feckin' bed by now."

That was Italians Peter. They weren’t at the World Cup and were too busy anyway since they’ve now been elected to government :-)
Russian hooligans were never likely to materialise at home, the Poles were probably too sensible, the English too deterred by cost distance and er fears of hooliganism. Though some England fans were doing Nazi salutes in a bar in Volgograd - which for boneheadedness pretty much tops it, and were in any case turned on by compatriots.

// PP - In the last world cup? //
no in the 'pule ! - ter daah !
the world cup wasnt run in Liverpool, last time, remember
One of the Rooshan clubs playing in Liverpool as visitors - not residents or invaders had a right wing clan and they went out to bash home supporters ( and I thought killed one ). as in one luring a fan into an alley and five waiting for him.
Remember that Princess Anne fell off a horse in Kiev ( wha' - in the cup, then? ) whilst er riding it and they sent a neurosurgeon out to make sure she was OK.

unwise - very unwise - see Jude Law in Enemy at the Gates - The Germans were lied to by their own side at Stalingrad, but the Press got the Zaitsev story and played it up on both sides. Terrible slaughter on both sides - I think 10% of the german prisoners taken at Stalingrad ( 250 000) made it back to Germany - some in 1956
When Feyrenoord played at Manchester some of the right wing Dutch fans marched down the street doing Nazi salutes - Chapel St Salford. This was terribly daring as it is against the law in Holland. I commented to a steward they should re read their history books

Did 132 of our known worst troublemakers not have their passports confiscated ahead of the World Cup? 132 may not seem like a high number, but hooligans are only a small faction of travelling fans and with the ringleaders removed from the front line, chances are no-one wants to step up. Don't know for sure, but other countries may have done the same which would go part way to reducing the number of incidents.
