Pishy countries like my beloved Scotland go there expecting a good time, win or lose, and so it doesn't tend to resort to violence. As Claymores said. "We're ****, and we know we are".

If anyones actually interested (I'm gonna guess nobody), theres an interesting article about this phenomenon, it focusses on England and Scotland though.

Giulianotti, R. (1991). Scotland's tartan army in Italy: the case for the carnivalesque. Sociological Review, 39, 3 (1991), 503-27.
