Football violence in British stadiums declined after the introduction of the 1989 Football Spectators Act, and in the 2000s much of the trouble occurred away from stadiums or abroad at major international tournaments.[6] The England team was threatened with expulsion from Euro 2000 because of the poor behaviour of fans.[43] The English reputation improved as a result of good behaviour at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 2004 UEFA European Football Championship,[44] despite reports of the arrest of 33 Britons in the latter tournament.[45]
At the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany there were limited incidences of violence. Over 200 preventative arrests were made in Stuttgart, although only three people were charged with criminal offences. Another 400 were taken into preventative custody.[46][47] Police believe that on average each rioter drank or threw 17 litres of beer on that day.[47]
