Football Hooligans on Dope

Cannabis calmed England fans say Dutch police
Dutch police have revealed the secret behind England's trouble-free opening Euro 2000 match against Portugal - openly-available cannabis.
Despite the fall-out between some England fans and players after the 3-2 defeat in Eindhoven, there were no reports of any trouble outside the ground.
Police claimed that the availability of the drug in the Netherlands probably helped to defuse any violence among thugs normally found in a boozy rage.
Scores of ticketless England fans gathered in coffee shops in Eindhoven, where cannabis is legally sold and smoked, to watch the game, greeting the defeat with mild disappointment and gentle applause.
"The cannabis may have helped relax them," said Johann Beelan, Eindhoven police spokesman. "Even the hooligans enjoyed the party - and they told our officers.
"There were lots of things for fans to do and everybody had a good time," he added. Only five fans were arrested, all before the game and all for minor offences.
England's next match, against Germany on Saturday, is likely to provide a sterner test for the authorities as it takes place in Charleroi in Belgium - where drug laws are much tighter.
