Some england lads at away matches do give the nation a terrible reputation, from footballing trouble our reputation has pread world wide, in my hay day back in my 20's i thought this was great, it was all about the reputation and wanting to show any other country who we were. No i am sorry for the things we caused and the hate we have created. Scenes like vs ireland in italy 1990 are forgetable things. now though english crowd trouble is dead. there are still the minority but many lads i know have all grown up and realise its not the thing to do anymore. These championships as the world cup 2002 was, should be friendly, which is what i am after these days. One bad thing out of english trouble, apart from the hatred we have caused, is that other countries now try and inpersonate us. turkey are by far the worst and most violent football fans in the world, BY FAR, argentina also bad, germany are a joke but try and always start trouble, holland also have a large hooligan base. Sadly england are now a target, france 98 an english pub was attacked by argentina fans after the match. 150 england fans arrested, 5 argies. even the bar tender said that england were being well behaved and were provoked by the argentineans. that is the thing we face now, other countrys still view us as the main hooligans and want to try and have a go and gain a 'victory' against us. this means we are now a large target for hooligans even when england are not involved anymore. the police still beleive we are the worst because of the myths still going round. People need to understand england is not big crowd trouble anymore, many european countries are alot worse. We now have realised how stupid it is and are going abroad to enjoy football not tear places apart.
i can understand why you hate us, but maybe you can see these championships that we arnt all bad.
just a good thing the turks arnt coming to euro2004
