Is it time to call off the remaining games in this years Euros. It is clear that the French police can not control the hooligans both outside and inside the stadiums. We have hooligans trying to kill rivals (yes Russia this is you), home grown hooligans out to get anyone they can and now Croatian hoolgans fighting each other. If a hooligan can get a flare into a stadium then a terrorist can get a bomb in as well, are there any security checks?
 
If someone really wanted to they could get a bomb into pretty much any stadium on the planet.

So in short, no.
 
Of course not.I don't know why people have such a fear of terrorism in certain places. Someone could smuggle a bomb into a game i'm sure but you would probably do more damage in a packed sports bar where there would be hundreds of people in a confined space. You would never hold a sporting event if they checked every person 100%.

In general the police have done a fine job. Its almost impossible to keep everyone happy and the new stories we are hearing are no doubt a) not entirely truthful b) only the ones to create gossip and scandal
 
Strangely enough, when I went to the Nou Camp about 3 years ago as a Celtic fan they searched every single away fan and made us empty our pockets onto a table. We all found it a bit OTT.
