hi GGS

I agree with what you say.....they England fans at the game have paid thousands of pounds to travel and to see their team play.

The stuff served up by England thus far is unacceptable and they have the right to show their displeasure.

With regards to your experience on a folk night in a pub can I say that most of these people are NOT football supporters - they are using the World Cup as a partying exercise and of course the alcohol can take over.

Here where I live there are hundreds of houses and cars bedecked with flags and banners. IMHO these are not football supporters. They are blindly following what they think is a show of national pride.
I have no problem with this....but please don't confuse this with true football fans.

I am willing to bet that none of the people who "wrecked" your evening have ever been to a live football game.

cheers
