On BBC breakfast Beckham (who was really the guy pushing it for Enlgand) referred to the head of state (David Cameron at this moment in time) as 'President Blair'. I **** you not. I cried a little bit inside. and then told everyone I saw that day.
Football Hooliganism is far worst in Eastern Europe/Russia. Multiple murders every year and fanatic nazi fans.
I haven't seen much UK hooliganism - and I've been to a match at Millwall. Honestly, the rep is so much worse than it actually is - sure people get beaten up, but they're usually asking for it, and at least there aren't many riots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5gfkMxswMI&has_verified=1
lol, you sir must be a sun reader...i assume paedophiles run rampant and unemployment is due to migrants too Russia is notorious for abuse/assault/murder of african migrants - I hope that the African sides will refuse to show and Fifa should be ashamed for selecting such a deeply racist and often lawless country to host such a major tourament.
Has anyone been to a Polish game? 2 teams in particular. VIOLENCE INSIDE - NSFW edit: NSFW - Link Fighting, football and music seem to go hand in hand. So no, the UK is not as renowned for hooliganism as MANY other countries. It's unfair to single out Poland, it's generally shunned upon there as it would be anywhere else. We have the odd scuffle when there is a game here, but that's as much our fans being pillocks as anyone else.
how the hell did Russia win? they have to rebuild half there country, 14 football stadiums a load of hotels and there was a safety risk that people would get murdered while they stayed there the world cup bid was definitely not staged at all and Qatar WTF!? they are going to have to play on artificial pitches indoors as it is too hot to play out side there
Sounds more like the daily mail Sure Belfast was torn about by Polish supporters when the played Northern Ireland back in March 09. Payed the biggest bribes, simples!
Lol, that was certainly fun...I believe the Wetherspoons in City Centre got redecorated and had to order in a couple new chairs....at least.
Seriously, not funny! The result might not be funny to you; but on behalf of everyone who lives and breathes the sport... I hope you have something BAD happen to you!
We sent Cameron, Beckham and the King after next. What we forgot to send was a huge stack of Euros in a brown paper bag, like Russia & Qatar did. The bright side is that we don't have to pay for the tournament while the nation is strapped for cash.
Lol, chill the hell out. I was as disappointed in the result as anyone else, but it's not going to affect my life in any profound way. Seriously, if you can't take a step back and view the funny side of something like this, then frankly I pity you.
I say hell yes to Russia getting the world cup on this grounds alone: http://www.mosnews.com/society/2009/04/14/1013/ http://www.mosnews.com/weird/2009/06/18/blackwidow/ That is all
I can see England being drawn to play in siberia >.> Wetherspoons had it rough that day. Whole area round queens and windsor park too. What italy and their recent crowd trouble? Who was that with again?
without wishing bad on anyone , i think this will be the downfall of Fifa in its current format the world cup will not succeed out there
