I can't see it tbh. I think the threat from FIFA was just posturing. Mind you, I guess I wouldn't be shocked if it does.

If they do get chucked out then surely Russia have to lose their WC but then how do the practicalities of that work? Who would get it next? You'd have to choose a country that is pretty much ready made to host a WC as it'd be short notice
England :cautious:

Why aren't you reading about loads of clashes between the Russians and the local French nut jobs or is it that the French/Russians are just looking out for the English?

I would have thought the Russians would be up for a tear up with some of the local Marseilles muslim community and vice versa
Reports on the radio were that they joined forces

If true how the fuck does that work? Neo Nazi Russians teaming up with some naughty Muslims. Interesting combo. Their hatred of English football fans can't bind them together that much, surely?

I know you were joking but it'd have to be a country like that. Also, joking aside, England (if they get thrown out) are looking at another half century without hosting a WC

Not to mention another decade of no Europa & CL football!

Would that happen as a result of getting thrown out of the Euros, do you think?

Like I said, I can't see any of it happening, just posturing. The ramifications would be massive

I wouldn't put it beyond UEFA to do something like that, even if we see it regularly from the Italians, with no punishment at all.

british nazis were trying to link up with russians to attack Muslims, so i think there is all sorts of shit going down that we are unaware of...

James Shayler claims he has arranged to meet up with Russian thugs so they can
assault innocent spectators during the competition.

I just saw what that Russian minister said. Unbelievable. It'd actually be really funny if it was a film but it's real life and I can't believe he's said it. Couldn't help but laugh in shock though when they read out his statement on sky.

He had his passport taken, but only until after the Russia game.
I would imagine he's out there now trying to organise a brawl or two.

There's a lot of English travelling over for Thursday with the intent of trouble. Revenge is on the cards
100% this....a few people I know are going out there on Wednesday, on their ferry there are 14 coaches...that's on one ferry.
This is gonna get a whole lot worse than what's happened so far.

I can't see us getting thrown out of the competition. The lawyers would have a field day.

If you know of people going out specifically to cause trouble, then please tell someone.

There are too many groups there intent purely on violence. They don't care about football. The movements across Europe and the desire of Russia to destabilize is being played out here and it's disgusting.

There's a video of the Russians fighting the French and one Russians knocks out a black man just standing with his arms up

I'm sure he knows people that are going to the game, rather than going out there to cause trouble.

Well I hope so, it was just in response to the comment on revenge so it reads a little like it might have been about these people wanting revenge. Apologies if I totally misread it.

I read it that boat loads more people are going over, more people, more drink = potentoially more trouble, rather than specifically going for a scrap or revenge.

I hope at least!
