The next Euros are in England 2028.What a total embarrassment by the fans at Wembley that day. I hope England does not stage a main international final for a long time.

It took a long time for Nobby to live that down.Not seen it but I remember the scenes from the time. It was shambolic.
Ar** flare man summed it up I thought.
It doesn't explain the same behaviour in many other cities they've played in over the decades. Always someone else's fault too.I think it's very naive to not think that the aftermath of Covid played a major part in the shameful behaviour that day.
People had only been allowed back inside pubs for a month before the final, and that was with restrictions, and after a year of being forced to stay at home except for work.
England's first major final since 1966, and the fact that it was public knowledge that there were over 20,000 empty seats in the stadium for the biggest footballing event in this country in decades, it was inevitable that there would be problems.
It doesn't excuse their behaviour, but I think the impact of Covid undoubtedly helps explain it.

I've seen it in London, Lisbon and up the road at Sunderland when England have played.
Better start recruiting the coppers now.The next Euros are in England 2028.
I've seen what was described by SOTT, and worse, families attacked. Their behaviour in London had nothing to do with coming out of COVID restrictions, it's the norm for a sizeable section of the Engerland bunch.You've seen England fans trying to storm the stadium en masse in many other cities?
Xenophobic d***heads weren't the main scandal from the Euros final.

Just watched it. Fans were absolute scumbags. Racist, violent abusive unrepentent filth.Has anyone seen the Netflix documentary about the European Championship Final in 2021?

For anyone going to Germany this time. Please don’t shout, or chant “footballs coming home”. That is now cringeworthy.
I hate to bring up politics and politicians but culture comes from the top down. 1) The B word, but yeah, Brexit has emboldened people to attach violent rhetoric with patriotism, to hate foreigners and people without white skin 2) culture wars, again violent rhetoric, largely aimed at foreigners with different skin and accentsWe do have a section of the population who think you can justify any kind of behavior by claiming they're just being passionate. &@((@(£$ to that.
You missed out “ten German bombers”, “don’t take me home” and “sweet Caroline”.Has anyone seen the Netflix documentary about the European Championship Final in 2021?

At least the bus surfer guy spoke up for the black players , so he wasn't all bad.Just watched it. Was glad Italy won.
The two young lads interviewed (the bus surfer and the one who stormed into the ground) are absolutely thick as ****
Same here, I guess the news clips tended to focus on relatively small numbers breaking through, rather than on the seething masses going mental outside.Watched it last night, it was actually a lot worse than remembered it to be.
