Who Are The Hardest Europeans?

[wellquickwoody]

The French are an odd bunch. Absolute pansies in war but some of the toughest cities in Europe. Who would win between Marseille v Belgrade v Leeds?

Mostly Arab and African immigrants who are the rufty tufty's in French cities, in my opinion, having worked in France for 3 years.

The last time I lived in the Netherlands there was some trouble between a group of Brits and some local Dutch-Maroccans...it all kicked off because of something really stupid, possibly an argument outside a chippy, and quickly became really nasty...one of the locals disappeared and came back with several mates, who had knives and those medieval ball on chain type things, which they were pretty happy to use rather than just go for a straight honest fist fight...the result was two people hospitalised, one with a broken arm and the other with a nasty cut from his elbow up towards his shoulder.

During proceedings one of the Brit lads spotted a van full of cops at the top of the street and ran up to try and seek their help, he was told to get lost as they weren't interested...this might have had more to do with them being fearful of the local gangs rather than stopping what was a long and somewhat unfairly balanced fight...don't know what they would have done if somebody had been killed.

Rufty tufty award goes to a gang of psychotic Dutch Maroccans who fight really dirty...wimp award to their police force.

The Danes take no shit.

 

[Hove&Albion F.C]

yes agreed you do not rule a 1/4 of the world for no reason.

i have a lot of time for the poles but they are hopeless pissheads and are scruffy as f***.

The girls are pretty hot though

Having spent time in Russia, Russians for me

 

[blue and white army]

The Russians.

 

[Don Quixote]

The Russians.

That crazy Russian who tried to rape you on the moscow underground was no match for us though.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Top of the list are the eastern bloc nations and the Albanians, then probably the turks greeks and brits. The rest are pretty much all poofs

 

[happypig]

Austrians are a bit of a dichotomy; on the one hand you have Hitler, up for it and got stuck right in, but then you have nutty blokes locking birds in cellars - nowt tough about picking on girls.

obviously nobody has been to greenland then

I was in Serbia for a festival in the summer. I would agree that the Serbs are double hard bastards.

 

[Questions]

If your talking football rucks then i would put the Poles right up there also.
If talking about history then it's the Brits for me.

The Brits ? We only pick on little uns and when we do bite off more than we can chew we call for our big brother to fight our battles for us.

 

[Questions]

the germans are disqualified due to their previous. you are right they are game but its because there is something wrong with them.

they are more disturbed serial killers than toe to toe ruckers.

One on one the Germans are softies. They`re only good at team games so I`d rule them out.
Hungarians always look hard, but I reckon its the Poles or the Ruskies.

If its a knife fight though, your Italians are in and out pretty nifty around the alleyways of Rome,,,,,,,,,,, just ask the Man Utd fans who went out there.

Was very impressed by a mass punch in Hannover between Arminia & 96,although not quite up to scratch with a Millwall v anybody.Hardest supporters Anderlecht,but the rest of the Belgoons are all puffs.Manure supporters from essex are hard in their pants,but the hardest Europeans have to be the Croats

 

[Gwylan]

Not a country as such but every person I've ever met who lives/born in Merthyr Tydfill have been double hard bastards. Fighting is a way of life, and the 'Welcome to Merthyr' sign has got 'twin town Beirut' grafittied on it. Tough town Merthyr.

My family is from Merthyr and I remember going there for my cousin's wedding. I missed his stag night but he said he got into a "half tidy" fight. It was at the Silver Slipper - which seems to have a fight every night.

lmfao at germans , Turks

 

[User removed 4]

Joke right


Have to say the Scots myself and history supports this.Seems most sas boys are jocks as well.
Turks must be up there as well.

algie, you're wrong about most of the sas boys being scots, I wouldn't particularly rate them on the hardman front either,I've always found they tend to play up to the scots hardman image and melt when fronted, neither harder or less hard than average in my opinion.

 

[User removed 4]

The Germans are pretty hard. They took on the British, the Russians AND the Americans only 70 years ago. They nearly won too. If that is not hard i do not know what it.

that's true, if only the italians had a bit more backbone and didn't surrender so much they might've nicked it.

 

[Buzzer]

Nah. Not a chance, Bushy. It wasn't the lack of Italians that ruined it for Germany, it was two things: Battle of Britain and Stalingrad.

you raise a good point bushy. when jocks are the only jock in a southern pub they get off on acting up to it. on home turf though they are just average punters who's pals would find it hilarious they are considered pub nutters.

what nation epitomises average hardness though? we need a benchmark on this. spain perhaps?

Totally true. 80% of total German casualties in WW2 were on the eastern front. The got their arses kicked by the Red Army (eventually).
