I sure hope not, but recent tensions in Europe dont bode well. :/

Depends what youre used to tbh.  Voted yes but nothing major...  More likely itll be a chain of stadium evacuations and delays for bomb scares or insert random terrorist reason.

The violence will probably involve the UK if it does happen ofc.  I would say the french but they cant even get their riots out of their high streets at the moment.

PS: Recent tensions in eurpoe?  What would they be?

Well, the behavior at recent matches with people throwing banana peels and making monkey sounds at black players would be one.

Would be an ideal opportunity for BLiar to set up a "terrorist-related/blamed" incident.  Just think of the PR... :roll:

I dont think the Germans would play ball on that one though.  And rightly so.

racial violence? - prob not much - though probably some racial chanting within stadiums

jingoistic violence between fans of different nations - probably a bit

I dont think there will be much. maybe a little as their team lose but you expect that.
This year should be good one. Most countries have done well to keep the trouble makers away.
