Baffling how they have let it get to this stage in Marseille.
English fans are always a target abroad. Spurs fans of all people should know that. Firm or shirter, you will be targeted.
Marseille sounds more like an asylum to me. Just goes to show that if you import the Third World, you become Third World.Always likely to be the case. Marseille is a seriously (!!!) tough area, the French police are notoriously heavy handed and nervous, and the England fans are all about 'banter' and booze - volatile!

Does anyone else feel embarrassed by fellow Englishfolk abroad? When I was in Amsterdam I felt a constant, deep shame and felt extremely sorry for the locals. And it was almost exclusively people from Britain making fools of themselves. Despite there being plenty of tourists from other countries, it was always fellow Brits spread stomach-down, teetering on edge of a canal.
Not saying the English fans are the sole blame for what's happening in Marseille. Just a general observation.
Anyho, tonight's game should be exciting.
It's all kicking off again today apprently. At some point UEFA is going to ban England supporters from attending matches for a while. That has to be the next step before ultimately resorting banning England from competition for a bit.
The label on the video says 'England fans attack Marseilles Uktras - Yet the video clearly shows Frebch youths starting it throwing bottles at peaceful diners (I doubt they are Marseilles Ultras)
Definite agenda IMO

They're kinda busy trying to ward off terror attacks tbf.How about teaching the French how to police a football tournament?
There we go again, those English racist thugs causing harm by sitting there drinking a beer
Just like Yankspurs says, thats awful and they should be banned. Awful behaviour
In all seriousness, where was all the trouble in South Africa and Brazil, if England fans are the problem?
I remember some clashes before England v Germany in Euro 2000, but since then I agree I think it's been pretty problem-free.England fans have caused no problems at all abroad since 1998 which just happened to be in Marseille as well.

You can make the argument that social class has something to do with it. Spain, Holland, and France are affordable destinations whereas places such US, Japan, etc. tend to require you having a fairly well-paid job.
I remember a lot distasteful stuff in 2006 and some troubleEngland fans have caused no problems at all abroad since 1998 which just happened to be in Marseille as well.
