....I think not!
so far no serious incidents with england fans here, that is no fighting apart from a few minor rucks with ours....
BUT the way the ordinary england fan behaves is appalling. fans wandering around in WW2 replica helmets, throwing plastic spitfires, songs about bomber harris, songs about the war in general and other anti-german and anti-turkish songs (as we got many turks living here). also hitler salutes were shown, the german OB decided not to arrest those idiots, cos they didnt want to let the situation escalate.
windows were smashed, a fountain at the paulskirche (which is used for christenings only) turned into a bath by england fans....
so called V.I.P.s of the english FA and england sponsors turned out in boxer shorts and football shirts at the 5-star hotel they were booked, binge-drinking until the early hours and provocative behaviour. the hotel "Frankfurter Hof" officially complained to FiFa and the english FA and cancelled all bookings for england fans.
probably noone told them they are guests in this country, and should behave as such...
i added a newspaper clipping from frankfurt's big newspaper, have a look for yourselves...
headline reads:
"Primitive fans from the island breaking all rules: ENGLAND IS ASHAMED OF YOU"
sad really, they drag the "real" football supporters from england down, as this is the picture which will stick in the minds of our people. and as much as i love the german-english banter, i got problems explaining to our folks here that not ALL behave like the ones seen...
