We're really not so disliked around the world. In some places where our lowlifes go, unfortunately probably, but travelling around the world at large Brits are largely very respectul.

And football violence is hardly just an English disease, in fact we're way down the list thesedays and have been for a long time. There are thousands and thousands of fans out there, vast majority will have behaved respectfully
Good grief! No room for a rational post like that on here! One embarrassing scuffle (in a different city I think) and a broken traffic light so far?!

Not good but get some balance for Christ's sake! Sounds like very few on here were on lockdown in Marseille, or warned not to go here/there in Rome where 2 of our finest got stabbed, and 2 of my mates got robbed of phones.

A very few dickheads in a cast of many thousands, a nation does not make.

Why? One of our own got STABBED in Europe. Stuff like that happens all the time in Italy for European games.

Some fat old English men windmilling at each other is nowhere near as bad as what many European teams get up to in Europe. There is no way UEFA should ban English clubs for that.
Amended for you - but UEFA will ban English clubs on any excuse. Not nice Italian ones though, that just stab people in fun, for a bit of a joke, or German and Eastern European fans who just let off those fun fireworks while singing those hilarious racist chants.

Let's see how the after-show pans out, before self-nominating 'our' supporters for this year's Nobel Peace prize. :shrug:

Given the money they make from English clubs being in Europe they won’t. They did f*** all after the Euros final was marred with trouble. In fact, didn’t they award Wembley another final after?

I am going to the England v Andorra game in Barcelona. I just hope to God that this doesn’t make the police there overreact thinking that they need to be decisive to avoid the city being trashed. Generally with England fans these days it’s a lot better controlled and not like that, but it only takes a handful of idiots on the lash to ruin it for everyone.

Little chance of police overreaction in a fortnight. Firstly, it's Barcelona which is much bigger and has 30m tourists per year. They're used to crowds.

Secondly, of the 10,000 tickets allocated, only 6,000 of them were taken up after the 1st ballot. So 40% of them weren't claimed. Unlikely to sell out.

Hardly surprising - it's Andorra. Other than Spanish sun, sangria and Sagrada, there's not much of a pull there other than loyalty caps.

That said, I'll be there as well. :)

Anything rarely happens post match is always the night before or pre match.
Reminds me of excitable exchange students in a foreign city for the first time 🤣
Ah, those were the days.
Brighton was awash with Abba lookalikees during the summer in the 70s.

A classic bin luzz around the one-minute mark.

Also worth sticking with it for a comedy slipover just before the end, followed by everyone else cheering.



h/t @Stumpy Tim who shared this.

Very poor distances from most luzzes. Camera angle direct from QPR (or Luton). A harsh 3/10 for me.
Gooley calls correct though.
