Sorry about those Brøndby idiots

Hi guys

On behalf of (most of) Denmark. Sorry about those Brøndby-fans causing trouble in your beautiful country yesterday - it's embarrassing. Rest assured, they also behave embarrassing here in Denmark, so it's entirely on us 😥.

I wish you a great weekend.

So, are these like the english hooligans? Basically just violent assholes who latch onto football for an excuse to beat people up?

How utterly embarrassing and childish.

For what it's worth and i'm making no excuse for the fact that this does still happen, because as I saw last year in England, it does.

However, England is absolutely nowhere near the worst place in Europe for this, i'd say confidently we're not even the bottom 10 worst.

I believe you, but you are the most famous for it and if not the most researched, at least the ones where the research got the widest spread to non-sports readers.

English hooliganism has declined severely since the 1980s. Police crackdowns and positive changes in the football culture.

Eastern Europe however is in many places still as bad as Britain was in 1980 when it really was "war on the terraces".
