  • All the racist fans of other countries like Russia, Croatia and Poland are kicking lumps out of each other, rioting in the street, chanting at black players.
    And the one time the English fans are actually behaving themselves they get pulled up by UEFA to distract attention. Ridiculous!

    Should never have given the Euros to these primitive countries in the first place. The topless Ukrainian women protesters were right.

  • Me thinks you're being rather selective: If you look into the whole story, you'll see that nearly every European country participating has had some form of fine/penalty/caution placed upon them. The English debacle is actually the lesser of all the 'punishments'.

    I think UEFA are trying to be seen to be doing 'something' and have gone from under-balanced to over-balanced in quicktime. It's the old adage, "couldn't organise a blowjob in a whore house".
