How Many Hooligans Does It Take to Give a Curb Job?
So, neo-Nazi Polish Football Hooligans have promised to cross the border into Germany during the World Cup this year. I'll let you count the ironies there.
They plan on taking on English and German fans, and also plan on going after Turks. Turkey, who came in third in the last World Cup, didn't qualify this year. This should give you a good notion about how seperate such stupidity is from actually following the sport.
Hooliganism is a problem in Poland just like it is in many countries, and has kept many families from the games. It doesn't seem to be as well organized as it is in say, Italy, where the "firms" are connected with major political parties, but it is a problem. But, hooligan groups have been known to sign "zgoda," or accords with each other. It is pointless to think of these guys as anything but street gangs who wear football club logos to show gang allegiance rather than the "rags" we are used to here.
The worst hooliganism is between supporters (and I'm using that in the loosest sense of the word) of two clubs in northern Poland, Lechia Gdańsk and Arka Gdynia. Gdańsk, Gdynia and the city of Sopot form a "Tricity," and they all merge into each other. People who have traveled there say you can tell if you've left Gdańsk and entered Gdynia is to look for the hooligan graffiti. The games end in battles between the fans, one pitch invasion can be seen on You Tube:
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.
