Hooligans, lots of them. Not just football hooligans, a lot of thug-like characters in general who will surely come out to play.

The biggest competition to Greece and Italy for Euro 2012 comes from Poland/Ukraine for the reasons I mentioned in a 'Euro 2012 hosting bids' posting.

In addition these are some of the stadia that would host the tournament and they are already under construction.

Stadion Wisly - Poland

However I still believe Greece is better equiped to host the event simply becuase they already have built 6 stadia that were used in the Athens 2004 Olympics and are about to build another 3.
