You had all of that beer consumed during WC 2006 and there were few problems from the England fans. To me, hooliganism is often premeditated and more political than a result of drunken fans.

I don't think alcohol should be embraced as much as it is at sporting events there, and I'm glad to see the NFL taking positive steps to change the culture at stadiums here. Of course I don't want to go back, but I don't think the relationship between alcohol and soccer is a good one, period. That’s exactly what I mean.

As. drinking was a major of cause of the troubles back then. You want to go back to how it was in the 70’s and 80’s? As. drinking was a major of cause of the troubles back then.

It isn't even close, and it's a shame that this much drinking is still such a huge part of British culture.
