they are not.
they just use sports as an excuse.
hooliganism is an important problem in europe, first thing that should be done is de-link this from the sports and directly treat this as any organised crime problem.

- MaximusAurelius

Mostly right-wing nationalists no?

But you can't say that many of these hooligans also don't like soccer.. Every country has their hooligans..

The Russians claim they did nothing wrong

What the (frank)! theres video evidence! Such a dangerous man.. Russia (frank)ing scares me.. Those people are (frank)ed in the head.

Assuming you live in Canada - you should be more worried about the mental state and political environment of your direct neighbour than about Russia.

Hotels and Casinos will buy every ticket available - and offer comps to Clients, so they will get full price for the tickets. They will be in good shape. Not cheaper, free to clients, hotels-casinos pay the bill.

Im not so sure of that.

It'll be the citizens (true fans) of Vegas that get shafted..

They'll have to rent a hotel room just to get tickets.

- Arctic_AARDVARK


Yes - a long list of winos, cab drivers and bums will be hard pressed to get tickets.

New England Strategy:

Have Wales finish 1st in division.

Have Russia finish 2nd.

Have England finish 3rd.

Pay another country's hooligans to fight Russia's hooligans. Get Russia kicked out. Assume 2nd place, and move on to knock-out round.

No need to thank me.

they're just dumb people looking for an excuse to make problems, fight etc.
soccer provides them with an opportunity.
it's pathetic one cannot go to a sporting match with children just because some of these clowns are around.

I believe he may. Pitch count. No guarantee, but that was the plan.

Honestly, Id be all for moving Tulo....they'll miss what his bat was suppose to be and his D. But between, Goings, Barney and Travis....their D is pretty solid.

I know. Still my point is valid about US being more of a worry than Russia.

I have a friend in the gaming industry - he says don't be so sure casinos will buy tickets.

First, there's a loose tie between the arena and a casino chain, so other casinos will be reluctant to send customers there.

Second, apparently they have it down to a formula - comped shoes shouldn't be more than a certain amount of time (iirc, 70 minutes?!?!).

The whole idea is you want people gambling. 70 minutes is a nice break, and then they go back to the tables/machines.

If you send someone to a hockey game, that's their evening. They don't return to gamble.

- Atomic Wedgie

a hockey game is done by latest 1130? what person in their right mind finishes their evening at 1130 in vegas?

Yeah but Americans bark louder then they bite.. The average redneck Merican is just a blowhard.. The average nationalist Russian is a psycho.. Theres still communist overtones, these people live by a different set of standards.. Racism is bad in America, but its elementary compared to what its like in Russia.. The state controls absolutley everything.

Edit: comped shows.

Although I'd go to a casino that gave out free shoes - that would be sweet.

I'm here. I'm watching. And I'm (frank)ing appalled.

Sterling/Alli have done nothing, Kane has been invisible. Only Lallana and Walker seem to want to try and attack. Better be subs made at half time or I might have to travel to France and get England kicked out myself!!!

should be some what happy now.
