I take it the pubs are refusing to serve England fans then…

@feorag There are very few England fans visible and the music is 90% Dutch.
Still, I spotted some and they seemed to mix with the Dutch.

They’re in plain clothes then, because the pubs won’t serve them in colours. Or they’ve been allocated a fan zone in nearby Vladivostok.

@feorag They were 1% or less, I guess their Dutch friends took care for them. Some were very young.
There will be a lot of photos of Dutch men pissing near Adlerturm - though that definitely is a result of our German uptightness concerning open pissoirs like they have in Amsterdam. Not invented here…

Just had a chat with some neighbors about the #Dutch fans being perceived as very friendly and quite sober. Still there was consensus that drunk #Scots would be preferable to drunk #Dutch fans :-)

Hm, I guess drunken Scottish fans are preferred to any others, at least in Germany

@qwertzalotl I’m so very conflicted about this strange compliment, but it’s definitely a compliment. 😂

Definitely it is. I'm trying to avoid blunders 😬 I know only a few Scots, but the ones I've met were also charming when sober.
