I guess you think women should also cover up to look less appealing to men?
There's a world of a difference between an unchangeable physical characteristic (race, gender identity, disability, etc) and choosing to wear certain clothes to show your support for a football team.
Your guess that my post would have any bearing on my views on sexual violence is not only wrong, it's completely absurd.

If that was directed at me then that's a bizarre comment. I'm not sure how you went from my post that it was probably naive to wear colours on a long public transport journey across South London to 'foreign fans should only open fish and chip shops otherwise they're to blame for anything bad that happens to their businesses when their countries play England at football'. To compare someone's livelihood to the way they dress when travelling to/from a football stadium is a pretty big (and unjustified) leap.
I thought my initial post was pretty nuanced, however the fact that multiple people have misread it suggests that I expressed myself poorly. While that's my fault, I can't abide people misreading it and guessing that I'm a rape apologist or some other nonsense. If anyone wants to discuss this further I'd be happy to do so in PMs.

To be fair to the family and the young woman in the case, they don't seem to be regular football attending fans so wouldn't be 'streetwise' to those facts. Due to the travel restrictions, a lot of the opposition supporters are taken from expat communities who don't normally attend football. They aren't going to know these things and besides its no excuse for a half a dozen men to beat up a woman or 40 men to stop a bus and storm it to attack a family. There's no excuse for that.
I'm not excusing either incident, and in my first post I say that the ground and its immediate vicinity should be a safe space for everyone, even if that necessitates a heavy police presence.
On the topic of people that don't usually attend matches not being streetwise, I agree with you. My first post was focusing on what positive lessons can be learnt from the family's bad experience, not whether they were to blame for it.
Sunday night is going to be one of the most intense games ever played in England, and emotions will be running high. I want Italy fans to be safe travelling through London and make a few recommendations and suddenly my post is one of the worst ever seen (I know you didn't say this).

C'mon, man. Let's not lay any of the blame on the doorsteps of the victims. I'm sure you're better than that.
I'm not making excuses for the perpetrators, and I feel genuinely sorry for the family that got caught in that situation. As someone who's been caught in similar situations in the past and come off quite badly, I can empathise with them.
But this is a situation where, if you know as an away fan that you'll be journeying through an area filled with drunken fans of the opposition, there are some precautions that can be taken. Not taking those precautions makes you naive. It doesn't make you to blame for anything bad that happens to you. That's all I was saying.

My advice to Italian fans would be that if they're going on public transport after the game they should bring a jacket and not paint a flag on their face.
Obviously any incidents in the ground and immediately outside it are completely unacceptable and should've been avoided by better ticketing and stewarding, or police involvement if necessary. But a lot of the first article simply betrays the naivety of the family involved. You're travelling through South London late at night on public transport through crowds of drunken morons, while advertising that you are an away fan. You're going to get some stick.
Football fan culture in a lot of places is terrible, and if this article gets other people who wouldn't normally attend matches to take sensible precautions when they do then that's a good thing.

Can't say I've really noticed it in other games.
Apparently the Italians were doing it, and so were the Danes in group stage matches. Probably not at the level that England fans were, in any case.
My unpopular opinion is that national anthems are dirges and should not be sung before sports matches.

Or just don't pick Azerbaijan
Is the correct answer. You could host a tournament across the whole of Western Europe and there would be less travelling involved than there was for the Brazil World Cup. The problem is choosing to host games in a different continent. Especially knockout games.

Yeah, nobody can provide what Sterling can provide right now. But if Sterling stops providing it his place is much more at risk than say Declan Rice
I wouldn't be surprised if Rice gets pushed out by Bellingham relatively soon, especially if Phillips continues to show such a phenomenal engine for England and makes himself undroppable.

I've not had a chance to watch a knockout game in a pub due to having to self-isolate. So my plan is to pitch up very early at a pub that doesn't require bookings, eat lunch, and then drink until kick-off, before hopefully setting off for central London to frolic.

I'm not going to watch the video because I'd rather eat my own eyes, but the Guardian have said he won't be watching but will be following the game on his phone and cheering on England, which really sums up the pointless virtue-signalling of his one-man protest.
The bloke is not just a cock, but a cock that can't even stand behind his racist bad decisions.

Can't forget the Spanish 4th official too who's going to let us shine even more laser pens.

That's just the stereotypical behavior of the English fans in this forum. Everyone who isn't for us is automatically against us. They are deleting posts, and banning people right and left to keep the approved narrative going...
It's just so sad.
Can we ban this guy for going against the approved narrative?

Because Kane has fouled Poulsen just before that clip (you can see him on the floor), which is what the ref has given, so the challenge in the box doesn't need looking at.
But if that's true why is there a VAR penalty check at all? And why is the free kick taken from the spot of the collision between Kane and the Danish player on the edge of the box, not the spot of the original foul?

Scoreboard journalism. They have had several situations where the opponent didn't score due to the opponent's fault (Müller for example). I think, overall, Italy have the better defense. It's close of course.
England have given up less clear-cut chances than Italy and have given up less expected goals per game on average this tournament. They've only conceded a 30-yard screamer from a dodgy free-kick, and have only given up 2 clear-cut chances that I can recall (Werner and Muller for Germany).
We've had the best defence in the tournament by most measures. Of course, Italy definitely have players that can breach that defence.

On the topic of anthems, the Italian one is actually good. Which is all the more reason to mercilessly boo it.

Honestly, as much as this is proper swivel-eyed lunacy from the Italian and Spanish gutter press I would love for it to be true. UEFA paying back Boris Johnson for scrapping the Super League by telling the referee to disallow all Italian goals.
I'd celebrate in the street just as much.

Honestly I think it's a toss-up. Went for England as why not?

Questionable red for Croatia in semi-final and then Ronaldo mysteriously almost dies before the final.
You mean the questionable red for Laurent Blanc? The Frenchman?

Had to cheat your way to the final against a team that had it's best player nearly die and was a huge underdog.
Massive achievement.
I know you're upset but you're weaponising a man's heart attack to score points on a gaming forum. Might be time for some water and a walk.

I think that may have been our best performance of the tournament. Into the final of a major tournament having only conceded a 30-yard screamer. It's nice.

I wouldn't feel confident about a penalty shootout in the final judging by that Kane penalty though...

Denmark fans assaulted in London after Wednesdays game
in Euro 2020/21 Forum
Posted
As I said, I wasn't victim-blaming and I'm more than happy to call out both the 'fans' carrying out such attacks and the lax stadium security and minimal police presence that enabled them to do so without fear of arrest.
I don't see how my posts could ever be read as defending English football fandom in general, let alone idiots like the perpetrators of the attacks in the original post. If anyone feels differently and wants to discuss this further, feel free to PM me.
