[Football] UEFA has threatened to disqualify England and Russia from Euro 2016

....if there is any further violence by fans.

It has begun disciplinary proceedings against Russia - but not England - after "totally unacceptable" scenes at Saturday's England-Russia game.

Footage appeared to show Russia fans rush at England supporters after the Euro 2016 1-1 draw in Marseille.

Charges against Russia are for crowd disturbances, racist behaviour, and setting off fireworks, Uefa confirmed.

So, what are England charged with?

Looks like they have more against Russia than us at the mo, but if these scenes continue, I won't complain if they kick us out.

What I don't understand is why there seems to be so few arrests! Surely the French riot police should be getting in there and snatching out those fighting and then getting them deported with football banning orders.

 

[Bladders]

Better than going out on penalties I suppose

Well you'll be in the minority.

 

[Bucharest49]

I have to agree if there are any more dreadful scens by any countrys fans they should be kicked out of euro 2016

So, what are England charged with?

Diverting valuable police resources away from the clear and present danger of a terrorist attack over the course of three days?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Perhaps they could ban both nations from holding a world cup in the next 6 years?

Diverting valuable police resources away from the clear and present danger of a terrorist attack over the course of three days?

And what have they done to cause that? Where is your proof?

Have you been living in a cave since Thursday afternoon?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Of course they will.

Empty threats.

Desperate huh.

 

[ROSM]

I had read that English police who are there to assist French police and to act as liaison to England fans were among those attacked yesterday and others gave emergency first aid etc

Wonder if that will reach uefa

 

[Soulman]

Thank god Platini is not still a major player in decisions.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Diverting valuable police resources away from the clear and present danger of a terrorist attack over the course of three days?

Is that the reason why there was seemingly zero security in and around the stadium itself? How else could the Russian fans get fireworks and flares into the ground, and how else could the Russian fans just wander across the divide between the different groups and attack the England supporters?

No I have been following closely the over policing and attacks on England fans that go to drink at a tournament. Do we see this sort of thing at games in the UK? I have been to many Sunderland Newcastle matches and we hate each other but have never ever seen anything like yesterday, and there are a lot more fans at those games than were at the port yesterday

If we qualify in 3rd place in the group we likely get Germany or Spain in the last 16.

 

[1066familyman]

Same old story. Not saying we're angels, but UEFA always appear keen to be threatening or banning us whilst other nations seem to pretty much get away with anything.

Let's see what comes of the disciplinary proceedings against Russia. My guess is, not a lot.
