Same here in France. I used to live near the Stade de France (North of Paris, 80.000 seats) and witnessed the behavior of soccer/rugby fans.

Ireland vs France (Rugby) : barely 100 policemen for more than 50.000 supporters: no incident yet some guys were more than three sheets to the wind
French Rugby League Final : Same as above

Spain vs France (Soccer) : Around 200 policemen for more than 40.000 supporters: some fighting between inebrieted guys, but nothing major.
Olympique de Marseille vs Paris-Saint-Germain (Soccer French 1st League) : More than 1.500 policemen for more than 60.000 supporters: Many fights between supporters or against the police (and no need for fans to drinks: for them, it is a war!)
