English fans to face topless threat at Euro 2012

The tireless topless activists from Ukraine’s FEMEN women’s rights group have chosen English fans as their primary target at Euro 2012.

­FEMEN have already staged a number of provocative acts, including an attempt to break the Euro Cup trophy, as they protest against the football tournament turning their country into a global bordello.

The movement’s leader, Inna Shevchenko, claims the supporters of the English national team – well known for their bad behavior on trips abroad – pose the greatest threat for Ukraine’s fair sex.

“English fans need to know that if they try to mess with Ukrainian women then we’ll try to mess with them,” the 21-year-old said. “The sex industry exploits women, who are so poor and often uneducated.”

Shevchenko promised that she and her comrades will use their naked breasts to “attack” every English match at the tournament.

England are in Group D for Euro 2012, with co-hosts Ukraine, France and Sweden being their rivals.

Ukraine’s capital Kiev and the city of Donetsk will host the team’s matches in the preliminaries.

Meanwhile, it seems the country’s working girls are actually preparing hard for Euro 2012.

They’ve reportedly not only drastically increased their prices, but have begun studying football terms and the lineups of the arriving teams in order to attract more clients.

There are said to be over 80 thousand women of pleasure in the former Soviet state.

I know its juvenile but I'm wetting myself at the 'women of pleasure' comment!!!!

When I read the first line 'English fans to face topless threat at Euro 2012' - I actually thought was going to go on about England fans NOT allowed to go topless throughout the tournament.

Hopefully they attack me with their breasts. Pleasurable punishment!

I know its juvenile but I'm wetting myself at the 'women of pleasure' comment!!!!

Me too, I know they must think its a better term than prostitutes, hookers or sex workers, but it just sounds so cheesy, bit like "Ulrika was caught 'pleasuring' the former Gladiator in the bathroom" etc.

[whoareyaaa]

Hot ukrainian women with there tits out, beer and sun.. BRING IT ON!

[1964FOX]

I can't believe a group of attractive young females think getting their gaps out in front of England fans will have any positive feminist influence. They really should ha words Germaine Greer on what's best to do or look up the memoirs of Mary Whitehouse for appropriate behaviour to gain respect on a televised event........

but on second thoughts " you go girls".

[Carl the Llama]

I can't afford to go to Euro 12 but I sure wish I could now.

GET YOUR TITS OUT FOR THE... oh. Ta very much then.

Does anyone happen to know how much a beer will be?

I wasn't particularly surprised, but I was told yesterday to take US Dollars in small denominations...

[thewarmanator]

I'm not sure to be honest but I can't imagine it being much different than here.

For those interested you can sign up to an england fan site free of charge and they post you an 80 page guide. Il post the link

Bottles are about $1.50 but no doubt they will triple the prices for us. Local beer is cheaper at around $0.50 a pint but again expect those prices to treble. I'm expecting to pay between £1-2 a pint.

Slightly off topic, but reading this thread makes me interested in doing a similar sort of thing for the next Euro's (France i think). How do you go about getting a gold England membership? Do you have to go to so many games to keep in it aswell?

[Weller in Tights]

So Jealous of you lot that are going. Been 5 England games and we have won every one I have been to, they sould pay me to go!!!!

I love Leicester first, but it is a great experience.Went to Lens to see England v Colombia in France 98, Had a fantastic weekend.

Also saw England beat Holland at wembley in Euro 96, top game.

I have been planning to retire in 2018 and have been hoping for years it would be somewhere like France, Italy or Spain so I could do the whole tournament, tour the country and have a real experience, Then it goes to RUSSIA!!!! dont really fancy that so thought ok I could wait till 2022 (as long as I don't drop dead) AND LOOK WHERE ITS GOING IN 2022!!!!!!!!!!

Has Euro 2020 been decided yet? I suppose I could retire early and go to France 2016

[fox ache]

Fancy giving the Euros to such a backward country like Ukraine, just seen programme on BBC1......... WTF , retards

.........And i dont mean the topless women !!!!!

Its too late now but soon you will be able to sign up for the 2012-14 season for £75 (gets you discounts and £5 off every home game). To get away tickets/tournament tickets it goes to a ballot, the more caps you have (matches you've been to), the better chance you have of getting tickets.

I know, terrible decisions with another choice of 2 backwards countries suffering with racism and homophobia. Euro 2020 hasn't yet but Scotland/Wales are having a joint bid and there are a couple of others (Turkey is unlikely though).

Awful decision, clearly Sepp and Michel took backhanders AGAIN?! I will be there but I bet they will be more heavy handed with the English than their fellow racist countrymen.

[Weller in Tights]

The Ukraine policeman was a joke!!! After them filming 2,000 fans doing nazi salutes and shouting racist chants all the police could say was "they were pointing" and "the fans are very friendly"!!!!!

Isn't it disgusting that if your skin colour is not white you are risking your life going, To a football tournament!!!!!! I really felt for Sol Campbell watching that.

Being white of Irish/English origin, I can't truely appreciate what people have to put up with, Some people call it "Banter" (remember all the posts about Forest) this isn't banter, it is pure ignorant racist hate. Sol Campbell is right, UEFA have cocked up here big time.

[Tielemans63]

Shevchenko promised that she and her comrades will use their naked breasts to “attack” every English match at the tournament.

Wish my wife would use her naked breasts to attack me occasionally.

BTW the line that read "Ukraine's girls of pleasure have been preparing hard" made me laugh.

[Smudge]

A word to the wise, watch out for money exchangers who operate in the streets, my mate was taken for $100 in Warsaw.

[Hullfox]

I've got two tickets for the England Sweden game available at face value if anybody is interested.

Send me a PM for info if required.

Very deserved - he should have been picked in the first place. Probably won't get much playing time but a very good experience for him that will benefit us!!

This isn't good news, England missed out on a chance to get a good goalie.

[Leicester_Numan]

Nope. I'm a plastic England fan nowadays. I haven't watched a live international since the Italia 90 qualifiers. Cheers though, you've just reminded me I haven't got my flags up yet

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

If anyone will be in Kiev on the 10th, and needs to get to Donetsk for the England game on the 11th, it seems that high-speed rail is a no go.

According to this - that service only starts on the 15th.

Ridiculous.
