Well the fact is what you have said is not true.
Most have been well behaved, in actual fact I would say nearly all, so well behaved that they have been praised and yet you come on here saying something that is not true.
Still nothing like trying to whip up a bit of 'all English fans are scum' during a tournament. Maybe you could get a job with a tabloid, they like to say that as well.

Nothing like using a smiley when you might just be wrong.
Go and whip up an anti English feeling on a Cardiff board or the like, now run along.

I haven't said anything that hasn't already been said. The only possible criticism of the English is why it took so long to sort out.
The great ambassadors of the game are those such as Uncle Buck and others who have gone out, joined in the festivities and indeed made friends with the hosts with invites back.

Taken from today's Guardian;
Britain's ambassador to Germany, Sir Peter Torry, praised the fans' behaviour. "The story of this tournament is that the English fans are coming here in their thousands," he said.
"They are contributing hugely to the success of this event, and doing the reputation of English football and the country proud."
Klaus Steffenhagen, the head of Cologne's police force, echoed the sentiment, saying English supporters' link with hooliganism was "a reputation from the last century".
"We, from the start, did not take part in spreading these horror scenarios, because we knew from the start that English fans are not different from other fans," he added.
