I get the feeling it's going to kick off over in Germany this summer. More so than France '98.
Unfortunately they'll always be the few that will spoil it for other fans. I think the German police will tolerate so much but football matches here are a more friendly experience than back in the UK (been to 8 matches here so far, 60 odd in the UK). The embarrassing thing was that all the Brit's I know in Munich are glad England aren't playing in Munich (though the possibilty is there for later stages) since the hooligan element will wreck the place. I still haven't been able to get any WC tickets so I'm just looking forward to the street parties!

I really hope it doesn't 'kick off' here because, apart from the embarrassment, it'll mean that England get kicked out the European Championship.
As for the inflatable planes, they'll probably be taken off the fans on entering the game.
