england face possible world cup 2006 ban
uefa president lennart johansson has given a stern warning to england supporters to behave in the match against turkey in october or face a possible euro 2004 and world cup 2006 ban
he said
We are very worried about the match. We can't ignore certain facts. We have a problem with certain English fans when they travel abroad.
"There is a hooligan element and we have a hooligan element in Turkey."
but england have chosen not take tickets for the match in october

Fans could still travel to Turkey without tickets. I guess that's what Johansson is on about.

i think it's more to do with the fact that england 'fans' (if I may refer to them as that) have a well known and long history of violence with regards to international games. UEFA as much as anyone wants to stamp it out completely.

Why would UEFA have it in for England?
Clearly, there is a reason for concern here. England have chosen not to take any tickets...

Absolutely, still one wonders what else should be done to please UEFA (should anything happen). I guess a few of the usual suspects can expect a knock on the door when the game comes nearer...

Don't forget about Leeds v Galatasary ( I think). That caused the bulk of the problems between England and Turkey.

UEFA have always had it in for English clubs, can you remember when Man United won the European cup a few years ago? Did you see his face when he handed the trophy to Man United, it was written all over his face that he didn't want a English club to win it. That man hates English clubs with a vengence.

Maybe he just didn't want Man U to win it...

Well, I guess that if you score twice in injury time against a German team, you've got some claim to it.

There is bad blood between the two countries, the hooligan element runs in both camps, EUEFA must bring Turkey to task aswell it's not a onesided affair.
