I wonder what will happen when they're denied EU-membership.

Perhaps Italy's EU membership should also be threatened or suspended. Or will a yellow card simply do?

And Slovenia and Germany and on it goes.

In fact football violence seems to be rampant across Europe. Heck let's just disband the EU altogether.

Football - a game for the masses. All this fan violence is just a part of that, Turkey, Slovenia, Russia, and of course England. Think about the type of crowds that go there, and how fanatical some of them are, and there you do - perfect ingredient for violence. Olee.....

And man, poor Swiss. But I'm glad they won, Turkey is a very nasty country to play against, especially at their home stadium (for prejudice, fan violence, over-agressiveness).

They didnÂ´t win the second leg, they just didnÂ´t lose high enough for turkey to gain point advantage.

Turkish behavior was completely unacceptable since the day the Suisse team arrived, and cannot be excused. They should be banned for the next championship(s) to teach them some lessons concenring manners and behavior, like FIFA is thinking about (banning them until 2010. Bombing an opposing team's bus in advance with eggs and other stuff and greeting them at the airport with paper-signs like "I f#ck your mother" and "You shoot a goal, I shoot your sister" cannot be excused. To hell with them.

I know why I like the Turks so much. The same kind of sentiment, though not to such an explicit scale, I was confronted with over there time and again.
