The police are terrible over there, When Wales played Russia a few years back in the play off for the Euro 2004 a few of my mates went over and they came back back wishing they didnt go. My mates aint the type to start fights either, At 1 point they had to stay in their hotel because a mob of fans had gathered outside and were waiting for them.
At the match the Russians were throwing a shit load of bottles onto the Welsh fans and the police just watching and smiling, If they approached the police they would be warned to stay back.
