Well its been quite a European championships so far and the violence is deafening. Everybody and their mother wants to blame the 2018 World Cup hosts Russia.
Well the Russians are lashing out at the criticism and blaming who else? England. Credit Russia's Artem Dzyuba for telling it like it is.
"I don’t really understand this kind of reaction of the British media who have this impression that English supporters are like angels who came to this country and they’re just behaving themselves. You have to be objective and it’s 50-50. In every conflict, there are two parts. Everyone has to follow and to see and to communicate with supporters and with fans. Don’t say that only Russians are at fault."
Dzyuba brings up an interesting point. Why doesn't anyone want to kick out the English? This has historical precedence. Yet while Russia was handed a suspended international ban, England was not.
We know the England team gets plenty of ink but we say enough is enough. Kick them out and let some deserving team like Scotland or Klinsmann's United States take their place (sure the U.S. isn't in Europe but how much fun would this be?)
Furthermore, it is the opinion of the IMOTGP blog that not only should England be kicked out of international football but from cricket as well. Let's keep these hooligan maniacs out of our beloved sports and while we're at it we may as well also institute a travel ban on Premier League teams. It's a blot on the sport and on the world. After all, the Russians aren't the only ruffians!
