England fans riot for the 2nd night in a row. What a surprise. I mean, I really thought that those banning orders and the co-operation between English and Portugese police would have prevented any trouble. No, wait, I didn't because this happens every single time.
See:
Burberry moron horde + beer + dirty foreigners taunting Burberry moron horde with their 'faaahny langwidge' and sophisticated ways = FIGHTS, BOTTLINGS, FLYING CHAIRS & UNPROVOKED ATTACK
And, surprise surprise, it's not the English fans fault. Burberry mouth opens: "Nah, guv'nor, nuffink to do wif us. Them police on their 'orses dun it. Truncheons flyin' everywhere. Bish bash bosh, right on me balls - how am I gonna impregnate my own sister now? I wanna breed more little hooli...FANS, you know? Bleedin' foreigners! I'll kill 'em, kill 'em all."
But there's more. BBC reporter - impartial, even-handed BBC reporter - talks over footage of mounted police dragging thugs from the riot:
"But there's blame on both sides."
No there bloody isn't! A mob of drunken thugs start flinging tables through windows. So that's England fans, not the police, who are breaking the law. The police have to respond. I've seen hooligans in action, there is only one way to deal with them, and it isn't saying, "Oh, so you've been throwing tables, intimidating and attacking people. Well, that's not very nice but let's think about WHY you threw that table. Let's talk about your feelings and your troubled childhood. Why are you biting me?"
Hooligans in a group want a fight, and they'll pick one with inanimate objects, innocent bystanders or the police. And once they have picked a fight then I've got no problem with the police charging in to protect innocent people and their property. If some gormless lout gets truncheoned upside the head and lands in hospital then good, he deserved it. And if some innocent England fan also gets truncheoned upside the head then...well, ooops, sorry mate, but ask yourself this: what were you doing in a mob of baying hooligans? It's blatantly obvious when trouble is about to kick off: walk away, find another bar.
But this happens every time. And unless something changes then we'll see the same riots and fights in Germany in 2006 - because England get followed around Europe by violent, intimidating thugs.
So kick England out of the tournament. People might learn their lesson. Not the thugs, who are incapable of learning, but the other people, who tolerate English supporters singing "I'd rather be a p*ki than a Turk". Kick them out. Kick them out. Kick them out now.

And that like totally makes it ok...

No of course not, a few people throw a few things and everyone enters complete c*ck ass mode. Big deal, it goes on all the time.
Although as you seem to think you know so much about everything I suppose you would be willing to give me an even further insight into the South American domestic leagues with the highest levels of rioting in world sport. Publicised? Well yes at around 3:00am - 4:00am on World news and Trans World Sport.
Scottish jack ass.
"Oh, erm, yeah - it's just a coincidence that there's suddenly rioting in Portugal when the last riot was like 78 years ago. And the last time that the rioters were English was never"
I don't know. Because I didn't hear about it. Because it wasn't on the news.

It's only been 3 whole days sicne the only game played, these riots will continue. No matter what.
England lose (or draw): Hulk Angry. Hulk smash.
England win: Yay, we happy, let's get drunk, get drunk. Opposing fan passes window, haha, you suck, "Beerr glass thrown* FIGHT!!!

Aaah, you spakker, keep up with the news.
I love the way you fly off the handle blinding and cursing when you haven't a clue what's going on around you.

Oh good Lord, where to begin?!

I'd agree with this comment. It is being handled better and better on every occasion. It was a major problem before and there was no immediate solution but it is getting better and the police forces are combining their efforts to stamp out / handle the minority of trouble makers. It is a hard learning curve.
It is not feasible or doable to ban fans from travelling to see their national team and why should the majority be made to pay for the minority.
