Why was the World Cup trouble free fan-wise?

[nuffieldranger]

Because it was in South Africa and who the **** would bother going there for a ruck.

There will be untold trouble taking place at the next Euros, I know a proper hooligan, not the one of these 'the time we chased the wall back to the station' ones. This guy is ex military and it sounds like there will be a lot of heavy duty service men past and present wanting to have a go at each other. Poles, Germans, Russians, Danish, Dutch etc

International Football Violence will normally only take on place on European soil just look at its history. Euro 2012 will be the biggest ruckus since Italia 90 IMO, whether it gets swept under the carpet is anyone guess.

Speaking as an ex military person i would like to point out we are not all mindless idiots, Yes i have been in plenty of situations but have never started any of them.

Most of my experiances civilians who could never get in the forces started to test there manliness, dont get me wrong some soldiers are the same with a beer in them as these civilian's, What i am trying to get across is if you think fighting for fun is good then you are a sad individual you are wasting tax payers money and some innocent child may die in a hospital bed becouse the doctor is busy with either your or your victims injury very clever if violence is your thing take up boxing and keep football out of it.

not aimed at you W12 just that you brought it up
