At first I put this down to filthy German propaganda

It must be propaganda, the police try to tell us each day how much better the English fans behave than the expectations were (which were low, as I have mentioned), and never mention the twelve drunks they had to put in custody.

Actually, the worst incident so far were German and Polish hooligans who had planned to smack each other since years the day when Germany played Poland. A few German hooligans even had stopped beating each other exactly so long before the championship that their probation time was over and they had to be allowed near the action again (must have been hard for them). Clever. But they had told about that plan in the web. Stupid. So the police was prepared for the showdown and stopped the action with two officers for each hooligan within a minute. They barely made the evening news and that only with a comment that all in all everything was quieter than expected.

So those looking for action have to wait until the English team is eliminated. That is the last small hope for ugly pictures (unless you 'hope' for a suicide bomb in a crowd).
