Soccer hooligans plan World Cup fights
LONDON, April 30 (UPI) -- Polish soccer fans are planning to establish a "hooligan league" at this summer's World Cup, The Sunday Times of London reported.
The fans are preparing for fights with fans from rival countries during the five weeks of the tournament in Germany. They are seeking "pre-arranged" fights with traveling English fans because of their reputation as "the best of the worst," the newspaper said.
Violence, often with fascist overtones, has become commonplace in Polish soccer, the newspaper said. In Krakow, eight fans have been stabbed to death in the past 12 months.
Polish hooligans interviewed about their plans boast that they will be able to slip across the border into Germany without being detected. The newspaper said the hooligans talk of night-time raids on the campsites where many of England's 80,000 to 100,000 traveling supporters expect to stay.
