Well, I was in Frankfurt for the Paraguay game

Lots of drunken England fans making lots of noise, a few chants of "ten German bombers" and a bit of clowning in fountains. The only trouble I heard of was a bit of pushing and shoving on the Friday night and the German police nicked a load of German fans for trying to get at the English.

There were between 30-40000 England fans in and around Frankfurt that weekend and, if I recall correctly, there were 60 arrests - the vast majority for drunkeness - in fact, I don't think anyone was arrested for violence.
