Missing the action

So I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Beijing coming down with a cold (what's up with me getting sick when I travel these days?), and when I dialed into my work network the following message came up:

"Please be aware that Feyenoord football club are playing in Basel today. Basel police have issued a warning that there is increased potential for trouble throughout the day around the central train station (Bahnhof SBB) and Steinenvorstadt area."

Good times tonight! I wonder if it will be like the near-riot I saw a couple of years ago when the same team came to town...
