Before every World Cup the know-alls always try to run our hooligans down, saying that this time the real threat comes from Dutch and German fans, or the Poles, or neo-Nazis from Lapland. Wrong again, chaff-heads. Sadly, my enjoyment of the fighting was marred once again by the minority of idiots who insist on playing football.
Ecuador tomorrow. No sweat. The Ecuadorean hooligan is second to all.

I wish the German police would attack these dreadful people with cattle-prods.
