| Quote: andym1988 "how will the groups work i wonder?
will there be extra groups, or more teams per group?'"
World Cups from 1986-1994 had 6 groups of 4. Top 2 qualified with the 4 best 3rd placed teams for the last 16, think they're planning on using that format

| How many England fans are at the Euros? Appears to be only around 5k from what I've heard, this must be the least for about 30 years?

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

To be fair they have about 50000 on the hooligans banned list.

| A banana was thrown on to the pitch in a racist attack by Croatia fans during the Euro 2012 match against Italy. As of yet, no action taken.
Spain's fans have been self-policing, claiming fellow supporters made monkey chants at Italy forward Mario Balotelli during the match in Gdansk. Still no action taken by UEFA.
As UEFA put it, "isolated incidents of racist chanting" aimed at Netherlands players during an open training session for Euro 2012. No action yet taken.
The Croatian FA fined €25,000 (£20,170) for its fans' behaviour at the match against Ireland. Uefa said the sanction was imposed for "throwing of fireworks and missiles, and a pitch invasion by a supporter".
Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner banned for one competitive game and fined €100,000 within five days of showing bookmaker's logo on his undercrackers.

Porto fined €20000 for racial abuse of Mario Balotelli in February.
Russia fined £96000 for its fans beating up stewards.
It really is a disgrace.

You could be being sarcastic and it's gone way over my head but do you really think racial comments deserve a harsher punishment than physical violence?

They are completely different situations though. The FA's are being fined because of the actions of their supporters. Supporters who they have zero control over.
Bendtner deliberately broke the rules, and he will have been paid a tonne of cash to do it. His fine has to be in line with his earnings, not the fines the FA's are getting

I was trying to compare the punishments given to these offences to that of Bendtner, although I'd say the punishments to both organisations is far too low regardless of the Bendtner case.
I think for stuff like this to be eradicated from the game it needs to be properly punished, points deductions, bans from future competitions and other massive sanctions, even if it means San Marino will qualify for the next World Cup and the game will be clean.

How do we overrate him? What type of comments? I've always maintanied his first touch is terrible, but at the end of the day he is easily England's second best striker.

He really isn't all that. I've heard some United fans say that he'll go on to be a United legend and that he's "world class". He really isn't better than Defoe.

But yet racist chanting and banana a throwing (Everyone knew what it was like BEFORE the tourney even started) is being almost ignored with the hope it will just go away IMHO.
