Army,

I didn't think all the hooligans are Dutch. It's just that when the games are in The Netherlands, that's where I thought they congregated of course.
Larry,

I wasn't suggesting that the Dutch have the most hooligans - I was saying as Vronsky said in his last post that they try harder - they seem to be the most fanatical.

You should have seen the streets around here last week (before the Dutch team weren't doing so well - now they are out of the running - but hey). Everything was orange. You might of heard of the old military joke about painting the grass green - well here they do it with orange. Orange flags, orange streamers, orange sheets with a lion on it that looks somewhat similar to the Peugeot Lion(!), orange dogs, orange cats, orange trees, orange paving, orange people...

...fanatical! Definitely the nuttiest.
