Soccer: Hooligans banned from leaving England

Hundreds of soccer hooligans have been banned from leaving England for tomorrow's World Cup soccer qualifying clash against Greece.

The Home Office, in a bid to prevent trouble, has sent letters ordering known thugs to hand in their passports at local police stations. More than 450 hooligans have now been banned from travelling to Athens under the Football Disorder Act 2000.

The move is aimed at preventing a repeat of violent clashes involving England fans in Brussels last year.
