mrbojangles Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Euro 2016 chaos: England fans TEAR GASSED by French police as violent clashes break out At least one England fan has been seriously injured as tear gas was fired on supporters after mass brawls broke out in Marseille ahead of England's first game in Euro 2016, according to reports. The supporter was seen lying unconscious in a pool of blood after suffering a head injury in clashes broken up by riot police using tear gas and baton charges. Police and dogs were called as more than 200 England fans gathered in O'Malley's beer garden near the Old Port. Roy Hodgson's squad will play their first game of the tournament against Russia in the southern port city on Saturday. France is braced for around 10 million visitors for the month-long football bonanza which opens when the French take on Romania at the Stade de France on Friday night. England fans have also set up camp at the Queen Victoria pub in Marseille with Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday flags spotted hanging outside the pub near the Vieux Port. http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/678587/euros-tear-gas-english-fans-marseille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 latest scuttlebutt seems to be that england will leave vardy out and start lallana and sterling outside of kane. this seems far more sensible. playing rooney in the midfield three with alli and dier not so much.

I see that somewhere Stevie and it is far too Gung ho, who's going to play along side Dier ? probably Dele who hasn't player there all season, well apart from about 15 mins Edited June 10, 2016 by alfieconn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieH Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 could be a lot worse tomorrow night that with the russia fans thrown into the mix as well. not sure it was a great idea to have england play in marseille - it's always been a trouble hotspot and the memories of 1998 will linger.

wooloomooloo Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Okay, I'm going for a prediction and I also believe the tournament is going to go horribly wrong due to Woy's instance to start Rooney . The problem is the manager as I believe the squad is pretty solid otherwise. Draw against Russia [bordering on a win for Russia with some Russian luck from set pieces and Woy getting desperate with his constant tinkering].

wooloomooloo Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 this is one of the weakest russia teams i can remember from my lifetime. Therein lies the rub. If we draw or lose then what is left?

StevieH Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 england should beat russia. got better players in attack and far more goal threat. defence is slightly ropey though and the squad lacks tournament experience and knowhow, though perhaps that matters less than it used to. the thing that might count in england's favour is that they just haven't got the players to do hodgson's usual cowardly and clueless two banks of 4, so the players might just think sod it and have a go.
