They're almost all wearing shorts. Dunno why that is so noticeable and hard to ignore.  Also, loads of foot socks.

thought this might be some awful soccer /match cheerleader thing.
good to see it concentrates on the essentials of sex and violence.
please nobody spoil it with withering on about actual matches

re Italian match , of course you would. stick to the violence(mostvassociated with football coverage) and the sex( wish there was more coverage of this, such as consumers guide to local shores-price, value, performance.

Most of the Kosovans seem to play for Switzerland, as far as I can tell.

The Hungarians had a bit of fun with the police this afternoon. Seems like everybody is trying to get in on the act.

this is a very interesting subject. they are openly boycotting the national team, but don't know why.

Meanwhile, some left wing extremist groups are praising Russian hooligans, while these are beating up Spanish antifas.

weekly report on Russia today gave nice Holli overview whilst complaining that Russia and it's fans ('leaders' just deported) are being unfairly treated by being singled out for official sanction

I am thinking if you are British, you must be special forces kommando or just suicidal if you plan to visit Russia for the Mundial ! But on the other hand, since it will be in their home, i doubt Russians will let their fans unleashed there.

Yep, you would definitely need to be fucking careful, or able to take care of yourself in the face of steroid pumped Russian lunatics...

Seeing as how mainstream Russian politicians openly supported their behaviour, I'm not so sure they'll be kept on a leash in 2018.

again look forward to the Russia today coverage through whatever prism they see it through at the time.
can't help thinking of the possible poverty of agro in quatar and the snooty al jazira coverage should it happen

apparently things calmed down.
British fan stormed a couple of places during the week end, but things toned down since the Russian were sent back where they came from.

if only the England team weren't so shit then there may have been some physical discussions about the brexit vote!
all the welsh fans are likely to do is sing to the others

as the tournament progresses and pure fandom declines, so pure hooliganism declines.
no likely fun in the semis or the final.
RIP hooliganism.

hooligan death approaches as remaining sides focussed on actual football (gag).
clearly underdogs (Iceland and Wales) undermine the true nature or the sport.

Well Welsh football has traditionally had a nasty streak; Swansea and Cardiff both have a pretty violent history on the terraces. But they're all cuddly now, apparently.

Cardiff Swansea, or Wrexham Chester/Shrewsbury.
local rivalries are a given.
the loving the underdog thing is euro related not local.
hope local rivalries continue.

I don't just mean locally, they both used to like to take their antics on tour. And I'm sure there were plenty of those types out in France.
