u thought maybe that the violence is only hyped by our own media while german media is going on about their fans???

No because no media attention is place on hooliganism unless the English are involved which gives us such a bad reputation

English media reporting on the actions of English fans? Now there’s a turn up for the books! On a serious note, I’m sure the German press gives an equal amount of coverage to it’s hooligan element as ours does.

Police have released an e-fit of what the main suspect looks like from the descriptions handed to them

If you see this person, do not approach him, he may assrape you especially if you have a pvd cd playing or anything by nu-nrg. Proceed with caution to the nearest fire hydrant, and set it on him

Omg what a scary hooligan

yea, but if thousands of us didn't flock there every year for their cheap beer and package holidays, half of them would be out of jobs. we fund their lives through the winter by our spending in the summer
