Rowdy throngs of British fans flocked to Stuttgart, Germany, to smear bright paint on themselves, run around piss-drunk, and (if there was time) view the World Cup games. Close to 500 fans participating in violent riots were arrested last weekend after some guys from one country kicked a ball better than some guys from another country. England even sent over some “hooligan experts” to help Germany survive the invasion. I’m not certain what the official education requirements are for a hooligan expert, but I assume they have advanced training in native and immigrant hooliganism, traditional hooligarian rites/rituals, and psychohooliganity.
Funny how people will turn out in droves to protest things like a soccer loss or an Islamic cartoon, but when young men are videotaped having their heads sawed off, there’s nary a painted chest nor a trampled demonstrator to be found.

[...] FIFA World Cup has turned more into FIFA European Cup or something like that now when there are only European nations in the semi finals (Germany vs Italy and Portugal vs France). Lets just hope that the “hooligan experts” CrimGirl wrote about have all returned home to England so that they don’t ruin the finals….. [...]

Aren’t you looking for work? You could be a hooligan expert. I’ve met several members of your extended family, so I know that you’re qualified. Plus, most cops don’t carry guns in Britain.
