BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: The World Cup soccer finals will head to Japan and South Korea next year, and fans there who will head to the games had better be ready to mind their manners. CNN's David Piper no explains.</s>DAVID PIPER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Any so-called soccer fans thinking of causing trouble at next year's World Cup in South Korea and Japan should think again. In an elaborate mock up of a real-life soccer riot, South Korea's specially-trained riot police showed they wouldn't be pulling any punches.</s>PARK BEUM-HAE, SPECIAL COMMANDO CHIEF (through translator): We will protect the games from any violence, including hooligans, and we will accomplish our role for the successful World Cup finals.</s>PIPER: Next year Japan and South Korea are hosting soccer's World Cup finals. Both countries are anything but hotbeds of soccer hooliganism. Instead their fans are better known for cleaning up their own for cleaning up their own rubbish after matches. But for the hard-core hooligans of some European countries can expect a hot reception. And they shouldn't expect any leniency from women police officers either.</s>LEE MOO-YOUNG, SOUTH KOREAN POLICE (through translator): We are not afraid of any severe violence. You don't have to worry about it. We are training real hard and doing our best.</s>PIPER: And that warning also goes for any terrorists thinking of targeting one of the world's top sporting events.
