I am taken aback by the crap being thrown at the Russians by the crowds. Yes, "it" goes back many years but to whistle and boo on every possession and to start fights and violence in public venues is not in the spirit of football competition or in moving forward to better relations. This is a sporting event... not a chance to beat the shit of someone who had nothing to do with what happened in the past.

Am I wrong in my assessment? in my sadness that I think this sullies the games?
