unfortunately, in this case, it's not true

English football fans (yes, I'm saying english, not british), are notorious for this sort of behaviour, hence them having been banned from international competitions in the past and so on. It's not the tiny 0.1% of english fans that behaves like a bunch of drunk retards

this behaviour even extends outside of football, english tourists are known cancers to every southern european country for starting street fights with hundreds of people over someone spilling alcohol - places like portugal, spain (I think italy as well, but not sure), have special insurances for these times, the english summer tourist time

it's not a joke, you do know the prime-minister can do something about it, kinda his job
just because literally every government doesn't do it doesn't mean I don't have the expectations that they should
Angel, without being able to identify the assailants 100%, charges won't be made

And in those mobs, identifying people isn't exactly easy, nor is finding the victim (who more than likely is foregin)

You can't identify them all, but you can identify some. Some of them got arrested in the process, the problem is that I bet they'll be let go.
If this was anything else, people would be up in arms and effort made to identify them, but because it's football, it's accepted behaviour. One of the really bad sides of football and it happens everywhere.

I mean its widely know that Itallian fans can be incredibly racist and disrespectful too (just 4 days ago the Italian wife of a Spanish player who equalized against Italy got death threats sent to her on social media and there was a massive issue with it in 2019 with black players) but when was the last time you heard that hit the news the same way that anything related to England does?

It doesn't and probably never will.

it does hit the news, outside of english press... it's just that everyone can read english and you can't read other languages

I know, but I don't necessarily see it being dogpiled the same way it is for the UK regardless.

Football is ingrained culturally in the UK the same way something like guns are in the US and yeah, it does bring a lot of problems. I'm not proud of how fans act in situations like these, they're drunk and shit gets out of hand. But shit gets out of hand everywhere. People go "omg those ENGLISH fans...." as if England wasn't getting booed and jeered at earlier in the tourney or as if it doesn't happen between other teams full stop.

At least the UK actually addresses racism and shit, Italy has literally had club owners get bullied into retracting statements by their own players.

When we won against the Czechs, police literally reported one of the least violent Saturday nights ever, beating out pre-covid Saturday crime rates by a large margin in terms of lacking activity
