    Not for tonight's game but I bet on Ronaldo to finish top scorer at the start of the tournament.

    How nice of the British to trash Malaga, Benidorm, Alicante, Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Mallorca, Ibiza, Cyprus and several Greek islands.

    The coppers were also hugely outnumbered, if they had of started getting overzealous it may not have ended well for them, of course in reality it was just some light skirmishing and they were always just going to disperse rather than start fighting the police, but can never be too careful. Not a matter of policing tactics just self-preservation!

    I don't really give a **** if it bores you, it's true and it highlights your ridiculous racial bias.

    Not really, I presume that you were referring to holiday makers "trashing" those destinations? A fairly floored response considering the target audience for those places is lower class English citizens. They encourage it.

    We can't talk, English "fans" laid waste to Munich after the 1-5 game, we're all as bad as each other.

    Precisely, Yet the travelling British fans get a bad reputation despite being no worse than any other.

    I wouldn't really call what was shown on the video 'laying waste' either

    *Flawed.

    And no, they don't target any sort of class, it just happens to be cheap due to supply and demand.

    Wrong, it's cheap because of who they are trying to appeal too.

    England invented football hooliganism and the rest of the world copied it...After the Euro96 semi-final defeat English fans trashed our own capital city, smashing up anything that was remotely German. On countless other occasions English fans have caused riots overseas...Luxembourg and Dublin being examples, funny how they never had the nerve to do it in Glasgow though.
    Also, do you sing "Liebherr Wonderland", Olly?...if you do, you are a massive hypocrite.

    WRONG. It's cheap because it's close and therefore the flight tax is cheap.

    How on earth am I a hypocrite? Where did I say hooliganism was acceptable? All I did was point out that the Kraut's are just as bad as the Brit's yet don't get the same bad press.

    The point was that you despise Germans, yet it was a German that saved our club and put us in the Premier League.

    Olly surely you're not arguing that by hosting a football final we are appealing to the sophisticated upper crust of German society?

    Yep!

    Lower flight price = more flights (supply) = more tourists = more accommodation, bars, restaurants = more competition = lower prices.

    And? Because a German puts Money into the football team I support now means I have to like Germans?

    The English hooligans are bound to have bad press IN ENGLAND...how do you know that German hooligans don't have such bad press in their own country?
