The only story I know of is a stabbing in Toronto during a Portugal game. Any other interesting events? |

DORTMUND, GERMANY -- Five days of opening World Cup calm ended with a volley of bottles and chairs as dozens of German hooligans clashed with police yesterday before their country's pivotal win over Poland.
For much of the day, German police worked with their counterparts from neighbouring Poland to identify and arrest travelling troublemakers without incident. It was homegrown hooligans who lashed out about two hours before the late evening kickoff after police confronted them in a central square.
By the time rain began falling after midnight, police said they had arrested 240 German hooligans -- at least 120 in the central square -- and 60 Polish hooligans.
