On a lazy day I scanned Google for the latest World Cup news. It's easy to put a story together from a few headlines.
"No tolerance for hooligans at Russia World Cup - UK police chief ."
"SAS squad 'to guard England team during Russia 2018 World Cup amid fears of ISIS terror attack'."
"World Cup 2018: Hotels in Russia hike prices by up to 18,000% to cash in on flood of England fans."
"Russian World Cup campsite with chipboard loos and water from well charges £63-a-night."
So the police are going to busy with dealing with hooligans and the threat of terrorism. Chances are anybody English having a good time after a few beers will be dealt with in a no-nonsense, probably over the top way by police with no patience for drunken idiots. And they'll all be called "hooligans".
The campsite with chipboard loos is in Kaliningrad where England play their final group match. Fans can rent a two person tent there for £63/night or pay $3,125 for a three person apartment which normally costs £17.
Between hooligans, terrorists and daylight robbery hotel owners it's not easy running a World Cup.
