Bah. The Russians (despite their vast experience in such matters) are arguing with the wind.

Oh, yeah!

The Russians are WELL KNOWN for their intolerance of drunkenness.

/s

The longest liquor store line I EVER stood in (apart from one recently in Plainville, Massachusetts) was in the City of Perm, Perm Region, Russian Republic.

The English today are probably the least inhibited about public drunkenness; it's as if they've become a nation of drunkards. Check them out in England or, say, the Canary Islands. I find it fascinating to see that the Russians (the Russians!) are shocked by their antics.

Both sets of fans have been issued with guidelines by their clubs, including advice on how to behave and a list of no-go areas.

Yeah right. Brit soccer hooligans misbehave as a way of life, and they'll use that list of "no-go areas" as a "high priority areas" list.

A Brit, an American and a Russian were sole suvivors of a plane going down while flying over the ocean, and they paddled to a nearby deserted island.

A few weeks later while digging for clams they find that genie bottle (that keeps turning up) . . . so they rub it. A genie appears & tells them: “I’m a two wish genie. Hurry, make up your minds.”

The Brit wishes for an estate in Devonshire with 2000 acres of gardens. And he then wishes to be there.

The American smiles and says, “I want a yacht that can haul me and a hold full of gold bars.” And he motors away.

The Russian frowns, states that he’s lonely and wishes for a quart of vodka. The he says, “And I want those two back here.”

I was in Moscow last year. I saw people stumbling around in broad daylight, guzzling out of open containers, pissing in the streets, puking in pedestrian underpasses, adult beverages prominently displayed at every corner kiosk and grocery.

I don’t know what foreign sports fans can do that would possibly be any worse than what Russians do every day, whether or not there is a sports event going on.

LOL, which 95% of the fans are they going to jail?

I don't think the Russian police will be too tolerant
