STUTTGART (Reuters) – Aggressive and intimidating behaviour would not be tolerated, a German police chief said on Sunday, after more than 520 England fans were held in the two days before the World Cup match against Ecuador.
Assuming the “4000 total arrests” figure is correct, I figure that AT LEAST 13% of all those arrested are English (at least, cos these 520 are just those from this weekend). And this is when they are WINNING games remember…. we all know how they react to a defeat. To be fair, most arrests have been for drunkenness and intimidation rather than acts of violence and many of the real troublemakers have been kept at home.
