UEFA Euro 2016

[Duque de Bragança]

Northen Ireland and Polish fans are clashing in Nice. I spot an Anglo-Slavic trend here.

Incidents between Northern Ireland/Ulster people and "French" people reported too. Not sure if it's OGC Nice hooligans, somewhat infamous, or the usual banlieue scum.

UEFA opens investigation against Russia. Probably a fine, but England might prevail at the desk!

Russian State TV describing the incidents:

Two hundred and fifty Russian fans repulsed an attack by several thousand English and forced them to flee. English fans started the fight by attacking our fans, but 250 Russians from different corners of our country did not flinch and repulsed the attack of the heavily drunken islanders.

I mean I have my doubts, but surely that's not a real quote? Do you have a link?

[Tamas]

Yes, please tell me that's a fake quote

Guardian article including the quote :

England's the birthplace of football and hooliganism so of course hungry up-and-comers want to test their mettle.

If that Russian quote is true then the English really need to stop coasting on just their reputation and start kicking ass again.

Brits brought their piss poor climate with them!   
Besides, Danish climate...  Ask Buffon (not Gianluigi) for its purpose.

That's not what you think, it's a scene from the last summer's highly successfully contemporary production of Swan Lake by the English National Ballet.

Slavan Bilic is the best pundit

Is he one of the radio guys? I'm listening to BBC5 because it's full time commentating and not interrupted with bad pop music every now and then like Danish radio.

No he's one of the studio guys for half-time, post-match etc.

He's clearly very passionate but I think he's actually making interesting, useful points.
