I happened to be in france during the 2007 election. Paris was filled with cops in riot gear all day knowing that regardless who won, there would be civil unrest.

It's a rite of passage |
When I was Paris last year for the Champions' League Final it was essentially a police state. Men with machine guns on every corner.
Although, in fairness you're mixing the local French with the always congenial and polite English Soccer fans and the notoriously calm and level-headed Spanish fans.
