Crazy, but true: because the European Championship match between Serbia and England (Sunday) is classified as a high-risk game, fans of both teams will only be offered light beer in the Veltins Arena.

Fearing that the two fan camps could come to blows after the game, the organizers want to limit the alcohol served and thus curb the fans' desire to fight. The match between Serbia and England is so far the only one where these measures have been taken.
