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

clearly singing worked.
puck Portugal.

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.

david lloyd jones

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.

Petrificado

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.

david lloyd jones

didn't seem like it but maybe I missed it

david lloyd jones

RIP hooligan fun.
can't expect same delights at the olympics

david lloyd jones

shame the Paralympics won't generate this interest.
shame the Paralympics don't have this following!
