The Dutch have a huge problem with this between Ajax and Feyenoord Sorry, but I can't think of a single case of the Dutch causing trouble at international level. They do have a big domestic problem but this doesn't translate itself to internationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking to a Dutch bar man years ago he was saying all the club fans have a pack that when international games come along there is no in fighting and no club loyalty which is why no fighting at international games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a matter of time before they carry out force with extreme prejudice which is a shame for the decent fans that are there (if there are any) Middle aged, bald fat Rangers fan, who would have guessed it.....
