Soccer world cup

It would do the whole country good if they behave and go out with a bit of pride instead of being yobs .
I was born in Nottingham and after the last game I was ashamed after I saw the celebrations (trashing cars and bus stops) it's just a game folk need to remember that.
I've lived in Scotland for 30 years and everyone can learn from the way there cams behave in major tournaments getting best fans awards where ever they go .
The Welsh and Irish are much the same as the Scots.
Glad I don't follow football .

I hope the we don't see loads of violence from so called fans.

A shame I was hoping for England to get up.  But not enough that I bothered to watch the game.

It would have been great to see a France v England final.

On one hand though, I suspect the Brits would much rather lose to Croatia in a semi, than to France in a final.
Because the French would never let them hear the end of it.   

I just wish they would come up with a British team !!! .... Welsh, Scottish , irish and saesneg !

So that's how that is spelled? I'd heard it spoken but never seen it written.

It's sad to see England out of contention, also sad to see is this news report.

It appears some take the loss very personally.  You poor buggers over there, coming up against this because of not making the final. Can't say I'd like to be among that.

[Kiwifruit]

Thats pretty sad Col. Probably nothing less than expected. 

England put more pressure on their own keeper than they did the Croatian one.

It's not football that causes violence, it's a combination of alcohol and arseholes. Plenty of us are able to watch the game without wanting to batter someone.

Having said that, I notice that you are allowed to drink beer in the stadiums at the World Cup, but you can't do that in domestic football in the UK. And yet, there hasn't been any significant crowd violence in Russia as far as I can tell.

I'm not saying I have all the answers but I suspect the heavily armed Russian police are a significant factor.

[shanered6]

The russian police take no prisoners !... they beat you were you stand ..... could do with a bit of that over here might sort out some of the street scum we have over here !! 

[VladTepes]

but then you might infringe these bastard's rights and we can't have that.   

[Del]

there hasn't been any violence at the World Cup mainly due to the authorities going round all the football Hooligans and telling them to leave the vicinity for the period of the games
