Rioting after the match, fighting with Italians, fighting with the cops, and racially abusing the players that missed penalties.
I was hoping this time it wouldn't happen, that there would be a graceful end to the tournament, silly me.

We’re Italian fans actually attacked? All of the videos posted on social media making this claim are actually of England fans fighting England fans. Not as good a story, nor as suited to the agenda though I suppose.

Yes. Yes they were. I don’t tend to bother with any social media bar this but I was sent a few videos of English fans mob battering some Italians.

Haven’t seen any of that. The main posts doing the rounds on social seem to be of this but from different perspectives:

And yet there are tweets with thousands of likes/retweets stating that this is English fans attacking Italians, and the comments are full of obviously ignorant people stating that it’s typical racist English fans…
Honestly, the misinformation is pretty despicable.
Southgate even alluded to the troll farms sowing division in his interview this morning.

Had some of the videos through mate. Not saying it was the majority but it’s pretty evident.

Brexit Britain and a government who enjoys blowing the racist dog whistle.
If you’re even remotely surprised or shocked you really aren’t paying attention.
THIS IS ENGLAND.

I’m not doubting you mate. I’m sure it did happen because we have some right horrible supporters. Just saying people need to be aware of the widespread misinformation that always follows these things and try to avoid painting all of us to be like this when it would be so much easier to overlook this isolated incidents of sh*thousery and focus on the many more positives of the last 4 weeks.

Thing is, the people being referred to here are not England fans. They are criminal psychopaths who enjoy violence and creating chaos and disorder. Football is unfortunately a rallying point for these mentally ill individuals but to call them England fans or even football fans is completely wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is absolutely not wrong to call them England fans at all
They follow and go and watch the England side. That’s their “hobby”. They are England fans all right. Think they all bought their tickets on the black market or we’re just lucky in the ballot?
Too right they are England fans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They are English for sure, but they dont care about football or the England team, in fact they despise the players and what they stand for. What they care about is getting out of their minds, misplaced nationalistic posturing and chaos. They cant get tickets for games because they're all banned as evidenced by the fact that they had to force their way in to the stadium. These are thugs not football fans.

These people are angry and bitter because they missed out on the British Empire
