The UK and England are not 1 and the same so please stop lumping the rest of us in with your mob.

That said the rest of your article is spot on

Understand that, I was trying to also refer to 2030 World Cup which the UK was going for

Perhaps FIFA should say UK and Ireland can host it without England lol

I refer to other nations in my post where I say uefa should take a stance against them too

Maybe we should just be grateful that none of the Emgland players have been shot like Escobar yet.

Point is, it's not merely a problem in England, we just happen to be the country in the spotlight of it at the moment, like Italy and Bulgaria were previously.

Scotland fans are an embarrassment as well, supporting Italy

Worse than spurs fans

The Nationalist tone adopted by tory politicians since 2016 has emboldened people that do this kind of thing.

England is not the only country with this problem though

Police looked pretty passive, so hardly surprising.

Funny how our media predicted how the Russian, Ukrainians, Polish when they had home tournaments would cause havoc, violence, racial abuse and none of it happened but as soon at its little England's turn we are the embarrassment of the world again.

It’s bad enough young men fighting but when you see middle aged men embarrassing themselves in public like that
Neanderthals

So .000001% is quite a lot of them?
Can't justify the behaviour of idiots no matter what country they originate from but I take offence at calling them fans. They aren't fans at all. They all give football a bad name.

English youths should be banned from traveling anywhere they are too dangerous

"but we cant ignore that the fans that do cause a problem aren't a small minority."

On the contrary, they are a VERY small minority.

"It's a small minority," is a cliche statement constantly used to excuse the disgusting behaviour of badly behaved English football hooligans and racist thugs. Consider the fan presence at Wembley a reflection of fans across the country. When you take the number of fans who behaved badly yesterday and project it as nationwide figure based on percentage overall yesterday you ain't coming out at any "small" number.

So yes it is a "small minority" of fans who behave badly. But decent fans and football powers need to stop harping that and pay way more attention to the fact that the "Small minority of fans" they keep citing is actually a feckin LARGE NUMBER of people. This ain't a few thousand we're talking about here it's 100s of thousands, possibly a few million. So dismissing them as a small minority is being disingenuous, naive or downright lying when someone knows better really.

You must have a source to make such a claim so let's see it.

The source is the video of the hooligans bum rushing the damned stadium. Plus an understanding of percentages and the ability to project figures roughly based on approximations/reports of the two. But to be honest any fool with a pair of eyes and ears can see enough to work out that we are talking about a substantial number of actual people here. And anyone saying different is just living in denial or delusion.

Tell ya what since you reckon that 100s of thpusands to a few million is supposedly too high, I am curious what you think the figure is. So you tell me just how many people do you think the so called "Small minority," In your opinion just how may disgustingly behaved thugs are there within the entire national fanbase?
