the ultimate example of the boy who cried wolf, and then is surprised that nobody believes them. They probably don't start the violence, but hate speech is illegal and entices violence on them and they have no sympathy from me. Switched to supporting Ireland in the rugby, think I will start supporting Ireland in the football as well this Friday against Wales. Would rather support a team that respects other countries and enjoys being in international tournaments than one with racist fans and an unbelievably large sense of entitlement

None of us enjoy these cunts - not even their families, I'm sure - but I'm not going to stop supporting my country because of them.
UEFA and FIFA need to start treating these like this physical violence and identify and ban supporters who do this kind of stuff. Admittedly it wont happen because they were wholly inadequate at curbing the violence at Euro 2016.
Though, just so we don't jump on the specific countries are cunts as we tend to do, lets remind everyone of Euro 2016 violence:
England: Fought with Police, Russians
Russia: Fought a good few groups including Germans in Germany.
Ukraine: Fought with German fans.
Germany: Fought with Ukrainian fans.
France: Attacked Northern Irish fans unprovoked. PSG fans attacked Turkish supporters.
Spain: Fans wearing Neo-Nazi insignia robbed and attacked people before Turkey game.
Croatia: Stopped a match then fought Czech fans.
Albania: Fought Romanians.
Romania: Fought Albanians.
Russian fans were often reported as the worst but its kind of hard to tell when you just see a mass of bodies. These events tend to be shit-shows though and I think everyone is quite rightly worried about how Russia will handle this level of violence especially as Russian fans hardly have the best reputation.
Could only imagine if they tried to enforce not antagonizing slurs against other nations or peoples.
Irish fans and Northern Irish fans were all great though, as far as I recall. I think they even got a medal for being so lovely.
Ha? Where did you get this from? I've actually been at that game and in Lyon during that and saw nothing like this.
Same. I'm half German but have lived in England my whole life, stuff like this just makes me hate the England national team, and get a load of schadenfreude every time they get knocked out of something.
It's not even just with Germany either, I can remember the Croatian national anthem being booed 6-7 years ago, just because they had the cheek to beat England in Euro 2008 qualification
This is nothing new though. If anything, it's gotten better over the years.

Ah sorry, was categorized as 'crowd unrest' but I jumped the gun. Report also said a guy hid a flare up his rectum, I have to respect that level of commitment.
Still like how people generalize fans because of a group of morons.
Damn Irish rugby fans are scum....

And their football fans racist:

Germans aren't any better with blackface etc and racist chanting
But that's be serious, every country has their bigots or people that can't handle their drink. That being said I hope they ban the people that sang the racist chant. Also booing a anthem is just fucking sad. The problem with some sports is it attracts the cavemen, who try to act hard infront of their mates. Football is by far the worst for this.

Yeah. Black players are still getting jeered in France and Spain and Italy on a weekly basis, but the English booed another country's national anthem the FUCKING ANIMALS!!!!!!!
I think a lot of our supporters are ignorant twats, but let's not pretend it's strictly an English thing.

I thought it had gotten better in recent years but after euro 2016 and this, it seems like elements are creeping back in. The booing the national anthem is stupid but fine, the nazi salutes, WW2 chants and mimicking planes while singing them are what I can't stand though.
Good to see the FA are denouncing these fans though, hope they're all banned for life along with that brass band that just plays the great escape for 90 minutes

Recommend watching the CONMEBOL WC qualifiers tonight if you can. By far the most intense & entertaining qualifiers imo.
Argentina vs Chile tonight, should be a cracker. As well as Uruguay vs Brazil, but the former are much closer in points & will be a huge 3 points up for grabs. Definitely give it a watch, South American matches rarely disappoint. Starts at 7:30pm ET.

We outsource some dev work to a team in Uruguay and they told me about the game tonight so I'll probably watch to cheer them on.
Unstoppable.
Alexis hits the crossbar with a FK 
Vamos mierda
Edit: Chile have been utterly dominant this second half. Hopefully they knick in a goal here, it's been coming for a while.
Genuinely baffled as to how Bauza is still coaching this team, one of the worst NT coaches Argentina have had imo. Ugly football, don't create enough & it's not even a system that gets the best out of Messi. Roles are just a mess.

Watching Gerrard assisting Owen(even though he's a tit) takes me back to the early 2000s. Good stuff, great to see people like Seedorf, Figo, Fowler and McManaman having some fun.
Come on Messi, do your thing again.
why Hyoga of all people?
At that height it's an awful challenge. The problem that a lot of awful challenges are ignored purely because nobody got hurt.
Pretty. Will get it with Aubameyang on the back.Give me
Dybala is not on Neymar's level yet. Dybala is definitely in the Tevez mould of strong forward that plays deep and can hold off defenders, the sky is really the limit for him in that role.

I used to think Lallana was shit like a year ago, but wow he's improved so much the last 12 months both for club and country.
He is back to how he was playing for Saints. He was shit the first season he joined you.
