I don't know any football fan who doesn't despise them. It just proves that football is about bringing people together.

Point of information: Were they there for the Sweden game? I didn't hear them, but maybe German TV filtered them out.

As a brief aside, Oliver Kahn is doing postmatch analysis for ZDF from a beach on the Baltic Coast. Strange but true. After the France game he was incredibly condescending about the England players. "Well, yes, that was shit, but that's the best you can expect from them." Seems like that 5-1 in Munich still stings a bit.
